THUMPER

Sunday was filled with some roller coasters! I was watering our indoor plants when Morris ran to the front door yelling "there is an injured bunny!" I ran to the side of our house and there on the ground about 3 inches from our house was a baby bunny...just laying there. He wasn't very responsive and it was apparent that he had been left by his mama. Morris scooped him up and put him in a towel lined box. We got a small medicine syringe and gave the little guy some water. He took about 3 syringes. After that things were looking good! He perked up and started moving around the box. We got him some timothy hay to eat on but he didn't seem interested in it. We proceeded to eat dinner and periodically give him water. While playing cards we heard him scratching the box....so we went over and he was layed on his side again not responding. We gave him more water and he moved himself back to a normal bunny position. We then put him in the dining room b/c a friend told me to keep him in a dark place until we could get him help. We went in to check on him at about 9 and what we found was not good. It was apparent that the little guy had gone into shock! He was layed out and stiff. He was breathing and taking water but would occasionally gasp for air. It was very sad! We went on to bed hoping that he would make it through the night. I checked on him at 11:34 and his condition had not changed. However at 5:30 this morning he had passed! It was very sad. I have pictures of him when he was perky but decided not to post them...he was so stinken cute! He was only about 3 or 4 inches big.
I have more postings from yesterday coming...so keep looking!
