KB, bunny probably died happily & peacefully in her sleep of old age. I'm sure she didn't suffer but went gently. Dogs will tend to get white muzzles as they grow older but cats (& animals like rabbits) that are very dark or black & start showing white are old. Rabbits only live 7-10 years & the record ever for the oldest is 15, quite unusual. How long had you had her?
I adopted a cat that would come running out to meet me when I came home. No one every claimed her so I took her to get spayed. When the vet opened her, her organs were already removed. She'd been spayed previously & then abandoned. She's all black except for a few white hairs on her chest & a small poof of white on her belly. But the last few years, she's having more & more white hairs sprinkled throughout. Indications is she's over 11 years. I adore her & she adores me - I want to make her life as happy as possible after having once been abandoned.
