Snowy
Wise Old Thumper
Took this gorgeous little boy in today, his name is Rupert and he is 4 years old, he is a lovely friendly little boy but very poorly
About 7-8 weeks ago he became unwell and his owner took him to the vet, he was losing the use of his back legs, very wobbly, eyes flickering, drinking loads of water, the vet checked him over and did a blood test which confirmed he has EC, so what did the vet do....gave him a Baytril injection and told her to go back a week later where he was given another Baytril injection, nothing else, no Metacam, no Panacur, not warned about the dangers of flystrike, not surprisingly he is now urine incontinent, getting slight head tilt, dragging his rear end around because he has lost the use of his back legs altogether, has lost weight and has muscle wastage, the owner was then advised to have him PTS'd
We have taken him in and will do everything we can for him, the owner didn't want to give him up but felt she couldn't give him what he needed
