I feel like i accidentally killed my pet.

I had a small bunny called Pudge aswell as 2 others, he was 8 months old, he loved being held and he would binky all the time.

i would feed them carrots, hay, kale and a few other veggies. Sometimes on a very special occasion i’d give them a strawberry each or a bit of apple. To begin with it was my mistake that i didn’t realise how incredibly delicate a rabbits body was, i knew you had to be careful with what they ate. A few days ago i gave them all one strawberry because i was feeling generous, and after i did the next day he wouldn’t eat at all, he would just lay in one place and not be interested in anyone or anything. That same day i took him to the vets and they told me that he had a gastrointestinal disease, from what ive tried to research it was simply from feeding too much high sugar foods, and some ways of causing it is feeding them carrots and fruit. I took him home and gave him the medicine and fed him liquid food but he still had no energy to do anything, then suddenly the next morning he started eating again and i thought he was getting better. A few hours later i picked him up to give him his medicine again and that’s when i realised he wasn’t fighting back or moving, i placed him on the floor and he was just all limp,on the spot i just started crying and went straight to the vets. And as i was getting out the car he was breathing slower and slower until i got to the door and he had completely stopped. I feel so horribly guilty i can’t stop crying thinking about how i could have been more knowledgeable about how dangerous foods are and how delicate these little babies were. I feel horrible doing any activities or doing anything enjoyable feeling like i ended his life and that he doesn’t get to have fun anymore. i’m so so grateful that atleast i have my other two and i hope that heaven looks after my gorgeous little bunny. i am sorry Pudge and i love you so so much💔
