I feel really guilty.....about my rabbit...?

Question

i have 2 rabbits.both of them are sick.but one of them is much worse than the other.so the one who is worse got very sick today and we thought she was on the verge of dying.my mom,who is not really nice to rabbits,said that we must place him in a hole now.so that is what we did.she is just on hole,but still breathing.i feel VERY guilty about doing it.but my mom really won't let me touch it...so she just lay there on the hole we made...still breathing....but after a few moment...she died...i feel guilty and all...

i still have the other rabbit with me.i'll take it to the vet tomorrow...

any suggestion on how i can feel better about my loss?and i know it's my fault.i should have taken the one who died to the vet...but the vet is closed for the holidays here...

...how can i get over her?she is very dear to me....

Answer 1

You are sick in the head, how could you do that to that poor defenseless creature?

You're not qualified to be a pet owner!

Answer 2

I don't think it's your fault, you really shouldn't blame yourself.

If she was so sick the vet probably couldn't cure her anyway, my rabbit was sick once so I took him to the vet but they couldn't do a thing and I just had to let him die, I felt really guilty because there was nothing I could do but you always feel guilty when a pet dies. I think it helps to just talk to someone and if you feel like crying just cry, just let your feelings out and I think you'll feel better. It takes a while to get over it but eventually you will.
