In Loving Memory Of Unix


R.I.P.: 14th December 07

Guess I was too late. By the time I reach home, Unix was already very lethargic and after administering 1ml of duphalac, she started losing her strength. It has been more than 24 hours without much food and water intake. She then became very disorientated and lost her sense of balance. The next thing I knew she became so weak that she had to lie on her side. She struggled a little and her breathing got very shallow and finally, she stopped breathing. It seemed that she has been waiting for me to return home before giving up.

I had great plans for Unix. I was hoping she could at least live long enough to follow us to our new home. Was also hoping she can eventually be an apartment bunny roaming freely indoors. Unix, I am very sorry I could not give you a great indoor life you well deserve. Thank you so much for the 6 beautiful babies you gave us.

It was really a sad evening and every bunny in the herd seemed to know what has happened.

I just cannot find the right words to use so I am just going to leave it to the photos to speak my mind.

May you rest in peace. You will always be my best doe.

She was laid to rest in the backyard

Lumix seemed to know that he lost his wife

Goodbye Mummy

When Unix died, all of them became so silent and looked toward her direction

14th December will be marked as Unix day at Tru-Luv…

My poor unix

Saw Unix munching on some hay last night. A little hope there but she has not been passing motion. I believe that there is no motility in her stomach. Maybe articles has been written regarding the treatment for GI Stasis. Some suggested using pineapple juice, others suggested laxative treatment.

Called my vet today and he suggested a drug I can buy at the pharmacy for constipation. I just got one bottle of it in Vitacare. Apparently I have to administer this drug 2 times a day and 0.5ml to 1ml per dose.

I will not be back till 6.00pm. I really do hope Unix will be able to hang in there till I get home.

One thing sad about Malaysia is that there are not many rabbit savvy vets around. Most are very well versed with dogs and cats because those are the common pets. So if it means that the vet will administer this drug mention, there is no difference if I administer it myself.

So you can almost conclude that you have to treat “exotic” pets yourself in Malaysia. SAD.
