Giles has advanced terminal cancer - he's gone

I cant beieve i am writing this, i cant bare any more.

Giles started losing serious weight very quickly, he is going the same way Riley, Summer and Frodo went. Riley and Summer's weight loss were blamed on old age and ailments, and Frodo's were down to kidney problems. But now Giles is showing the same, very rapid signs, i have really doubted myself and my care .

We have been to the vet, and he has a mass in his abdomin. Presumably advanced cancer, and there is nothing i can do to save him . There were no previous signs, none, he was a good weight (overweight if anything) but now he is reduced to skin and bones he maintains a good appetite, but his sparkle is duller than it was, its not gone, but its not as bright as it once was.

In reality, maybe i should have let him go at the vet the other day, im selfish, i couldnt do it, i cant bare it, i cant lose him .

Why is this happening to me? What am i doing wrong? When will this torture and sorrow end?

My poor poor Giles .

Oh I am so so sorry It isnt anything you have done, these things...just happen even if its not fair

If he isn't suffering just yet, then you did the right thing not to let him go yet, you will know when that time is.

Oh I'm so sorry Sharon but please don't blame yourself as it's nothing you have done we have lost a few with terminal cancer over the years and it's heartbreaking but there is nothing you can do sadly to save them and although they sometimes have healthy appetities they just don't put the weight on as they are just feeding the cancer.
All you can do is keep them comfortable and pain free and spoil them even more.

Don't think for one minute it's something you have done or lack of care.

I'm so sorry you are going throught this again I really am

OH NO
it is not anything you have done you are being dealt a very harsh hand in life and i pray it gets better

mega vibes and hugs for giles

I think that, as we and Tuckerbunnies also know, that this can be a risk of multiple buns. You do seem to go through spates of losing them one after another and wondering when it is going to end and questioning whether you could have done more for them. More so if you have buns of a similar age who are getting older together, or ones which are carrying health problems anyway.

The chances are that any of those buns who were not with you might not have made it this far, but would have died far too young of a minor ailment which went unnoticed by a less savvy owner. Or a preventable disease which they could have been vaccinated against.

I have no doubt that even those of your buns who seemed to have a shorter life than they should have, had a wonderful one with you.

It's not selfish of you at all to want Giles around a bit longer - you will know when he has really had enough. All the time there is a bit of his old sparkle there, be 'selfish'

I'm really sorry you are going through this, I hope this is the last for a long, long time

Gives Giles a noserub from us and spoil him rotten

Gentle hugs to both you and Giles ..... you are not to blame.

Oh no poor Giles

We all know here that it is nothing to with your care, it's brilliant!.
Cancer can strike any rabbit at any time.
Don't blame yourself there's nothing you could have done better
You poor thing,I'm really really sorry your going through this again
Thinking of you and Giles

This is such a sad thing to hear, I hope Giles lives out his days happily

Im so sorry to hear this hunni, please do not blame yourself though - your bunnies have the most wonderful care and love.

I have three poorly buns, and blamed myself for a while, but they are just such fragile creatures, so very special that the Angels want them all for themselves.

I have no doubt he has a wonderful loving life with you. x x

He passed away peacefully last night, my husband was with him (i had a work commitment i could not get out of), gutted . Will post about him when i am more composed and able to do it justice.

I'm so very sorry xxxxxx

Sleep tight little chapxxxx

One of my favourite Giles moments, was when he got overly friendly with our very own Maysie when she came to collect Wee Fudge and Pepsi.

Binky free Giles.

for you. At least he did not suffer for very long.

I'm very sorry Sharon

Binky free Giles

I look forward to hearing more about him when you feel up to it

I'm so sorry to hear this

Sleep well Giles x

im so sorry x

so sorry to hear
binky free giles
for you

I'm so sorry Sharon I really am

As hard as it is with terminal cancer it is far nicer if they go peacefully like he did and didn't go on to suffer as some do

Binky free forever all well again at the Bridge gorgeous Giles xxxxxxxxxxx

I'm pleased that he went peacefully and with a bit of dignity although I know it will have been hard for you not being there.

Cancer is an illness that strikes at random. He was lucky that you cared for him and loved him and he would have had all the vet care he needed. You have nothing to reproach yourself about. xx

Oh sweetie, I am so very sorry. Terminal cancer is something he had and there is no way you are to blame for his poor health and untimely death. I hope you are going to be all right; I must confess to being worried.

As the song says "There ain't muvh justice in the world" and it is so true. I wish I could wave a magic wand and put it all right.

With love and hugs

JO xx

I am so so sorry. What a rotten time you are having. I hope in time that the wonderful memories you have and the knowledge that your buns have all had fantastic lives with you help to ease the pain

I'm so sorry I missed this
Binky free Giles xxxx

I'm so sorry I missed this, I'm so so sorry to hear Giles has gone you really haven't done anything wrong so please don't blame yourself

Binky free Giles x x x

I too am so sorry that I missed all of this.

Please don't blame yourself - you have given Giles and all of your other bridge bunnies such a wonderful life. Like Sparky said, even if short - they were still longer than the opportunity at life they would have had before you found them. I hope as time passes this becomes less painful for you

Binky free Giles
