Stormy Skies
Stormy Skies
Stormy Skies was a purebred and pedigreed Holland Lop. I got him for my 13th birthday right after my pet bunny ButterFingers had passed away. He was small ( about the size of a 5 week old bunny) when I got him at 8 weeks old. We immediately became best friends. I held him all day long and put his cage right next to my bed at night. He loved to be carried around and go to town in his bunny carrier. As he got older we found out he had several disabilities. His hips stopped working and he dragged his back legs. We will never know for sure what happened to him, but we think he hurt himself by running around too much in his cage. He also had neurological damage so he twitched all the time. I felt bad for him, but he soon learned how to handle his new issues. I put him on cage rest and his hips slowly began to recover. Eventually I took him off cage rest. I knew his hips would never work as well as they used to, but he seemed to be okay with it. I let him hop around in our 9 acre yard. I could trust him; I knew he would never try to run away. One day I went over to his cage and saw he was having a seizure. He was laying on his back, and his whole body was violently shaking. I held him all that day. I tried to get him to eat and drink when he was not having seizures. They continued off and on all through the night. The next morning he was a little better. I took him outside and encouraged him to hop. He tried his hardest. Right before I went to bed that night I encouraged him one last time and he did seven hops without tipping over!
My baby, Stormy Skies passed away that night. He was only 1 1/2 years old and had, had disabilities all his life, but he was the sweetest bunny I have ever known. I buried him with all his bunny toys. I shall never forget my baby, Stormy Skies. He is a great example of how close you can become to your pet bunny when he is given the proper attention!
