So, with my new does I got another bun that was to be slaughtered anyway.
I did not feel ready to actually do the deed yet.. but I couldn't find any good reason to not accept the ofer.. so.. I had no choice, more or less. But now I've killed a bunny so I know I can Poor bunny.. I still think ''I should go see if Nameless has water..oh, right.. he's in the oven, well most of him anyway...." and I only had him a couple of hours..
Anyhow, I think he died pretty fast. I hit him twice because when he fell to the side I though he was going to run off or something so I hit again more or less by reflex.. I did note he was already bleeding through the nose which I hadn't expected.. I think I hit too hard.. (''swedish'' butchering: put them on the table, stun them with a blow to the forehead, debleed by cutting the neck) anyway, he looked ''dead'' in the eyes and was bleeding out through the nose quite heavily but he got thid wheasing breathe just that minute. I cut the jugular veins and went to skin etc.
Now.. does the lungs look ok? Is it normal with all the red lines/spots? Is it perhaps just blood from the neck area or messy butchering? I couldn't really tell.
But is it an infection of any kind or is it normal or have I caused it?
He breathed fine all the time before the kill, even as he was pretty stressed out by being carried and catched. Eyes looked fine, not messy behind except on the foot pads.. liver etc looked fine and an even brown.
No other buns in the stable was sneezing or looking snotty ether. A few kits had a little messy eyes but most looked fine and they moved abouth healthily. There were some a tad messy behinds but - not to make any bad comment about a very nice person who had the place, he happily showed me around, gave me advice and whatnot even though I must have seemed like a sissy girl, all giggelimng nervously (I'm uncomfortable with choosing pets/animals, afraid to offend the breeder.. silly I know) - I think that's because of the cages. It was time for their weekly cleaning, which was done in the weekends. But in the big picture they looked and sounded healthy.
