Mischief and Tinker's Mum
Wise Old Thumper
I went away on holiday last week and a very kind neighbour who has 2 bunnies offered to look after the 4 buns and 2 piggies for me. She'd looked after them before and did a brilliant job.
Came back yesterday and went to see her and poor thing was terribly ill. She could hardly speak. She had had 4 asthma attacks whilst looking after my pets and at one point her husband was going to call the ambulance. :shock: When she went round to see to the pets she had a soaked blanket around her face. She also had to give mischief his meds which she was fab at. She even brought round treats for the buns.
She said it was the shed that set her asthma off, must have been the fur and hay dust, I'm not sure. It's clean in there but it brought on her asthma really bad. She is a lovely person and I feel so guilty. When she was talking to me when I got back from my holiday she broke down saying she'd failed me because she can't ever look after them again. It's not her fault though, she can't help being ill! She loves my pets so much and is so upset that she can't spend time looking after them. It's me who is more upset though, for making her go through the week like she was! Her husband told her she had to stop as it was really bad but she said "I'm not letting them down, I will do it this week but I can't look after them in the summer." So she carried on for us but she really shouldn't have. I would have asked my grandma even though she wouldn't have wanted too.
So yeah, I feel awful and to make matters worse, I have no idea where my animals will stay in the summer when I go away as she said ages ago she'd look after them and we'd care for hers whenever she needed us. All boarding places are probably booked up now.
