....is over
The vet rang yesterday. Apparently, we were very unlucky with Rus. It wasn't anything we'd done, nor was it the vaccination Rus had the Thursday before she died. It was a massive rupture in her stomach, caused probably by all the pus and other horrid things due to an infection she had. And she had no diaphragm. The poor thing must have been in so much pain and when I connect the post-mortem report to the way she was just before she died.... God, that makes the whole thing worse in a way.
Vaai-illa jeevan, poor thing, she was. If it had been us in such pain, we would have been screaming, keening with the pain. She was looking terrified and thrashing about here and there madly. Something from outside scared her, we thought. But it was all inside her little body.
It was probably a congenital problem that she had and the vet reckons that we should be fine should we decide to go for one more. But I am afraid to. I don't know what Nandana and Shiv will decide.
But mercifully, Rus was finally laid to rest last night in our backyard.

Did you know that pigeons, which can coo irritatingly all the time, dont make any noise when they're suffering? Found that out the hard way, when a badly hurt one came into our garden - looked like it had been mauled by a cat or dog, and it didnt let out so much as a peep. Just sat quietly in a corner until it died a short while later :( I hate pigeons but I found it horrifying that they cant express pain and suffering... something cats & dogs can do.
How did the rabbits escape, btw? Sorry about Stapy, too... poor Papu.
