Wise Old Thumper
I was outside all day yesterday laying my slabs, when I'd finished I went upstairs. Nibbles is normally sitting on the landing looking down, so I stuck my head around her door where her crate is and she was lying in her dog basket, really funny, I touched her and she wasn't right at all and lying funny. I ran back downstairs to everyone, in a panic as I really thought she was close to the end and thought she would have to go to the vets to be helped to the bridge.
My friend came back upstairs with me and picked her up, she was freezing cold and lying on her side and around her leg was loads of hay, it was wrapped around over and over again. We took her to the bathroom, my friend held her while I started unwrapping her, it was so tight like it had stopped all her blood and she was still floppy and she was covered in wee where she'd wet herself, so we got the hairdryer on her, but she was still cold and all white stuff was coming out her nose. We gave her a little bit of metacam, to perk her up a bit, but she looked so poorly, we tried her on the floor, she was not right, but could stand on her leg.
My friend was like you need to get her body heat up, so my lodger had her on him with a snuggle safe and a towel, then I swapped over for an hour, tried to put her down again and her temp would go down and she was acting all poorly, so me and my lodger had to take turns keeping her warm ans syringing her water until eleven last night, she was eating a bit of food by herself so that was a relief.
When we finally put her down she did her normal strange yampy run off, I never been so relieved. I think she still is in a bit of shock, she's not 100% normal, but I have never been so happy to see her sitting at the top of the stairs this morning :lol:, she's a little quite though, I gave her a good head rub and she reared on to her back legs to give me a little scratch, so she's deffo feeling a lot better :lol::lol:, I really thought I would be starting a rainbow bridge thread today.
Has anyone else had this problem with hay getting wrapped around their bun?
