I keep waiting for a 'good' time to start this thread but I dont think there is one really. I am just wondering what makes some people feel unable to have a PM Examination done in the case of a 'sudden death' of a Bun.
I know it is a very personal matter and I am most definately not judging anyone but I am interested to hear what it is about having a PM that some recently bereaved carers find impossible to contemplate.
For me I feel that if my Vet can learn from what happened to my Bun it might enable other Buns to be helped in the future. I also feel it helps me understand what has happened. This was particularly true with the Girlie Boblets. All three died suddenly within a 72 hour period. We were devastated but also concerned that a disease outbreak may be happening. Very serious in a multiple Rabbit environment. But PMs, including tissue sampling, revealed all 3 died from a congenital gut disorder
I really hope that I am not going to cause anyone great distress by starting this thread. I just want to try to understand why some people oppose PM examinations.
