Last Thursday I developed the 'Real McCoy' flu, my OH went into hospital with chest pains and Treacle stopped eating. Yup, I know, you couldn't make it up... Bottom line: I'm getting over it, the OH needs a thyroid operation and hasn't a heart problem and Treacle is dead
Treacle spent 3 nigths in the vets not being diagnosed after 3 vet exams and being given basic nursing care. We were told Sunday night we could collect her and that she was eating (cost £200). OH went and got her - she was weak and a lot thinnner but we trusted they knew what they were doing and that she wsn't eating at that point as she is a very nervvy rabbit and put her back with her companion over night. Next morning still no sign of eating sO I phoned and talked to our rabbit specialist who had not been on duty over the week end. OH brought her down again, William diagnosed a tooth abcess and general teeth problems, we agreed to an operation on Tuesday but by Monday evening she had died (had a fit while being fed). She had been examined by Will three weeks earlier while getting her myxi so this had come on really quickly.
Do you think I should make a fuss about her treatment over the weekend or am I just wasting my time- £200 for what Why couldn't they diagnose her? (I'm feeling bad myself probalby I would have realised it if I'd been half healthy enough to check her jaw line). How do they know she was eating? It seems unlikely from the way William explained the problem... I can't help thinking this would not have happened if this was a dog or cat.
