i was rescuing a baby bunny. the nest was ran over by someone while they were doing the lawn, and Auggie was the only baby who survived. the people who had destroyed the nest didn't know what to do, and took him to a local farm store. this year, i fostered a litter of kits(baby bunnies) because my female bunny was inexperienced, and wouldnt nurse them. so, i said i would help the baby. what i didnt know, was Auggie had a spot on his head, where he was injured. he was to little to flush with electrolytes, so i put triple antibiotics medicine to help it heal. the wound was not infected. earlier this morning, he was fine, making little bunny noises and everything. an hour or so after, he wasn't responding to my taps (what would wake him so he didnt have an heart attack), and when i uncovered him from the homemade nest, he was dead. im still crying (its been a little bit) and i feel like it is my fault. i must've done something wrong. but, i am taking a little bit to get past it.
rest easy auggie, august 1-august 6
