Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
:shock:
Dave sleeps very soundly and we are used to him doing dead bunny flops so I usually take no notice and just step over him.
This morning he was lying slightly differently and I noticed he looked dead straight away but then I saw him take a breath and though no we are OK. I carried on doing what I was doing and he didn't stir, Herman lay by him, licked him and ran off again - didn't move :?
So I called Steve to look and said Dave looks dead but i don't want to wake him if he is just sleeping bless him. Steve thinks he looks wrong so we decide to wake him.
I kneel down next to him, nothing. I am now starting to panic. I look at his eyes and they are rolled back in his head. I start to lift his head and it is a floppy dead weight. Dave doesn't stir. By this point I am now in tears saying Daves gone, he is breathing very slowly but he is slipping away. His head was just like Tami's on Monday when i held her just after she passed
Steve runs off to get phone for vets and carrier. I am thinking there probably is no point going to vets so will lift him on to sofa and sit with him. I scoop him up in my arms and lift him - nothing he just flops. I feel physically sick
Turn on my knees for the sofa and he wakes up :shock::shock: I pop him on the floor and he is all excited looking for treats the little He is absolutely fine, running about, eating hay etc.......
Where as i have lost 10 years off my life and am still shaking 2 hours later!!!!
