i told them it owuld happen..they have coped each time so far but this time its happened....shes gone for bertie and hes gone for her..i tried to let it play out as scuffles betwen these two is common even tho they love and adore each other so much.
But it got worse..stopping only when bertie collpased exhausted in the pet carrier/litter tray and bif fell into a breathing battle behind the hay box.
i have tried for an hour to catch her.
there is a delivery tomorow morn of the other sofa bed...yes also on credit but it was cheaper than a sofa or even a bed!! and it means if nikki has to live downstairs eprmanently i can sleep down there when shes needing me.....
so its for the best that i have to concede defeat and take her upstairs to my room where hunnybunny my mums bun stayed..i havent steam cleaned the carpet tho only sweot with a dustpan and brush......but i had no choice..this week has been hell...
but its been decided give her a couple of days to ensure shes ok..or maybe 24hrs or less...and then we are taking merlin and his cage down too...whilst bif n bertie are unbonded...we may as well bond him into the mix now as him and bertie usually get on ok.
fingers crossed..its a long time bond not rush to get it done by crimbo..done that one befoe and after new eyar bif had to be hospitlaised as the stress was too much for her.
shes feisty today and brave..the vet nurse said shed been feeding her and when she went to feed her again...she was waiting for it!! shes eating by herself too..had a nom nom on hay and food inbetween boxing bouts.
ive only got hay and water up here right now..will get pellets later...need her to eat hay. will give her fibreplex but with all this stress i will prob have to crit care her too.
poor bertie..his heart is in tatters..hes been scratched punched bitten....and hes collapsed in the carrier exhausted and heartbroken
i never intended to bond merlin to them as they were so devoted to each other and after everything theyd come thru..it was going to stay that way.
but with this maybe its a sign.....
merlin would be good for making bif leave berties side for a run around and give him some relaxation time....also if bifs off chasing the cats merlin and bertie have each other for company...bandit and bertie got on ok till berties eye ulcer i guess and not long before bandit died...i think each knew the other was in trouble and got scared.
im heartbroken for bertie....
they do not allow buns together now as its deemed cruel to shove two buns in a tiny cage....so they cant even have a cage opposite each other..theyre all along one wall. and berties so big they said..when ehs stayed theyve had him in the isolation room on the floor to himself:shock: blimey where did they put willow then when she was spayed!!
i will have to have a talk with ellen over the phone...and see if she can try and chnage things again after this. regulations..my bum!!
wish bif luck and speediy poops..and send hugs to poor bertie...
one good hting..bif doesnt stink and no soft poops stuck to her...no smell exuding from her bottom when she was clean like before.
shes bright eyed bushy tailed and she looks like shes been groomed thoroughly but i guess the feeding got enough loose fur out...:lol:
sigh his has been a very stressful week..i musnt allow myself to cave in or shell pick up on it..she awlays does.
