Very sad, I had her for quite a long time, I will miss her bouncing around in her big long cage when she heard me coming. She always expected some sort of treat, loved CHEERIOS

I was quite in shock to have seen her fine at about 2 in the morning last thurs, before I went to bed. Just to find her Friday morning about 9am. with her head tilted very badly to one side and her eye on the tilted side, very bulged out.

I immediately remembered something I read and looked it up, sure enough it was exactly her condition.
It's called Wry-neck and you guys may want to be aware of it, although all the bunnies I have ever had I have never seen it before.

It was just terrible looking, and said it can either show slowly or just BAM and it's there which was the case.

I knew I had to get her to a vet but our vechicle was in the shop until later. The effected eye does not blink anymore or close so you must keep it moist , which I did.

I put some collard greens and a carrot down for her (she showed no interest. I left for about 1/2 hour returned to see if she ate. I heard her cry twice, then rolled to her side in distress, so I held her and patted her head and talked, and that fast she was GONE.

I could not believe it, shocking and sad. I will miss her !

Sorry to hear that
Very sad.

I am so sorry to hear about Licorice. Wry neck is a scary thing. It does hit out of nowhere. One of my girls had it a few years ago. She recovered, but it was tough.
I bet she is hopping around with my Edward. Both enjoying their new, healthy bodies.

Very sorry about your loss.

Kristen

I would enjoy seeing your babies,

Her is a picture of Cleo and Luna. Cleo is the brown one, Luna the black. It's been a little over a month since Cleo's surgery and she is doing great.

Here is Nibbler. I adopted him from the pound a month or so ago.He is one of the few rabbits I've had who loves to be held. He is by himself right now but I hope to get him a friend soon.

This is Button. She is the one who had wry neck as a baby. She recovered but a lost her a few years later to what I think was pasturella pneumonia.

Here is a picture of Edward relaxing outside. I bet he's having a blast with my Button and your Licorice right now.

What gorgeous bunnies, every last one, sorry for the ones you lost also. Yep bet they are all togehter having a hip hoppity good time.

Your bunny rabbits look so healthy and happy Nice pretty clean fur and bright big eyes, LOL Black rabbits are so beautiful, and glad your Cleos feeling better after her surgery too.

Thanks for posting them all !
