Tears from the edge II
Those of you who have been acquainted with my house pet rabbit, Beizi, would know that he's been more than a pet to us in the past 9+ years. If he's my brother, he would be in Primary 4 next year.
Beizi is due to leave us in the next few months. We got to put him to sleep the next time we take him to the vet. He's got a blocked tear duct. This means that his tears can't be flushed out of his eye. His right eye has been swollen and there's a cyst growth. There was pus coming out on Monday. He was taken to the vet again. He's too old to have an operation and the vet's advise is to put him to sleep. Actually, that has been his suggestion since a few months ago when we first brought him to see the vet. We wanted to hold it off cos Beizi still could eat, and ran about and still responded sharply upon the scent of chocolates and bananas. Aside from his eyes, everything about him was very healthy.
Jasmine said beizi actually yelped when the vet was squeezing the pus out of his cyst. Have you ever heard a rabbit yelp?
I just told Weiyang I only cry for happy reasons now. Let this be the exception.
