Sunday morning BeeBee was not sitting on top of the towels of her bed but was tucked inside. She was colder than usual and not very interested in eating. We gave her some warmed fluids under the skin, cranked up the heating pad to a higher setting and kept annoying her for about the next three hours to get her to eat.  She ate a little each time she was offered and drank *very* nicely with the last feeding about 11:00AM.  OK. We were pleased we ~helped~ her again.  Two hours later she was getting cold again, drank some milk and was tucked in with towels warmed from the drier.  BeeBee left us and went to be with her litter mates and Mum about an hour later. You just can't argue with a determined bunny.I wish I knew why she made that downward spiral.  A few days earlier she was content and washing her tiny leg.  I  think if it was the bunny poo juice she got, she would have been ill the next morning not two days later.  Maybe it was?  We never really will know why Beebee died but we cherish the time she spent with us.  She's buried in Tennessee at Mike's childhood home, where his younger brother and family still live.  Aside from this event, everyone is doing fine, thanks.  Thanks for coming along on this latest rollercoaster ride.  Sorry that it has come to an end as it did.  Wonder who will come to visit us next?Lydia</blockquote>
