Warren Veteran
Just as I was settling for bed last night, Frank very suddenly went from eating hay to charging around his cage before collapsing and having a fit. He 'came back round' after a couple of seconds and started trying to eat hay again. He was very dazed, was almost scanning, thumping repeatedly and had a very slight head tilt.
I phoned up the emergency vets and as I did so, he must have found a pellet which he soon started choking on . I tried to get it out but I couldn't .
He went downhill alarmingly fast and on the way to the vets, he was just hunched over barely breathing.
The vet only had the chance to have a feel of his body and take his heart rate before he had another fit. He passed away a couple of seconds later at 1.30am
The vet we saw believes it was E.C.
Frank was treated for E.C months ago by a rabbit savvy vet in our local practice. He was put on panacur for a week and I also closely monitered his diet to help him put weight on. He was doing very well up till now.
I did some reading up on E.C at the time and I've done some this morning... it seems that stress can affect it?
Feeling very empty this morning.The scene from last night just keeps running round in my head I just keep repeating to myself that I didn't do enough, it all happened so quickly
Binky free my sweet, gorgeous boy. Love you always xxx
