I feel like I am in a horrible nightmare at the moment. I have already lost three fur babies to the Bridge this year and now my elderly bun, Dylan is ill.
When I went out to feed them earlier Dylan was lying on his side panting. He has no interest in carrot tops He doesn't seem dehydrated and has improved slightly since I put him in my bedroom in a carrier under a fan.
In case anyone wonders why I am posting here instead of rushing him to my vet, I have 'phoned out of hours and my vet is there dealing with another emergency. It is a one vet practice and I think Dylan is better waiting here under the fan than in their waiting room. He is picking up on my stress too so I am better off leaving him in peace until I can get him to the vet. I was told to go up at 8.50 am but will get there 10 mins early in case they can see me earlier.
I haven't paid Tabitha's bill yet and am worried the vet won't treat Dylan if I tell him I need to pay that in instalments so will tell him AFTER he has seen Dylan (my vet doesn't usually agree to instalments)
Any future fur babies will definitely be insured, although at the moment I am thinking stamp collecting may be a less painful interest to develop.
I can't lose my Dylan bun yet. I know he is elderly but he was fine last night, apart from his arthritis, for which he has metacam.
Vibes would be really appreciated.
