I've just been out to put the buns to bed and to give Furby his medication and found him laying in his run, dead.
I am a complete mess. I am on my own - there is no-one I can call. I had to chase the buns in the other run to get them to go to bed and it took ages. Then I picked up Furby and wrapped him in the blankie I used to snuggle him in when I nebulised him. He looked very peaceful. I've cuddled him and told him how much I love him and that I am so sorry that he died alone and I so hope he wasn't in pain.
I feel so bad as he didn't seem to want his breakfast but when I moved away from the pen I did see him start to nom a little. I havent syringe fed him for ages and now worry I've starved him but he seemed to be eating for himself, albeit slowly. He was in his carrier earlier but I found him outside on his side.
I have no idea what to do with him as I can't afford to have him privately cremated. I had to insure my car today and had to do it monthly as I am up to my overdraft limit on all my accounts. I bought a new bottle of vetergesic today and it is unopened so I am hoping the vet will let me take that back and put it towards the cremation.
I am worried if I 'phone tomorrow and ask to take Furby in they will charge me out of hours fee which is horrendous. They live in the flat above the surgery so won't have to travel anywhere. Their cremation service collect the animals on a Monday and I don't want Furby to have to wait over a week before being put to rest.
I don't know why he died. His snuffles were better but he did have head tilt. I'd run out of panacur too so he only had one tube and I was going to get another one on-line as it was cheaper.
I feel so guilty. Furby fought so hard to stay with us and I've let him down. Faye won't eat. I tried to give her a cuddle but she kept running away from me so I have left her. They were such a devoted couple she must be heartbroken.
I've cut a small piece of Furby's fur off so that one day when I have managed to sell my house and am out of debt I can have it put into a necklace or something.
When things like this happen it really brings home to me how alone I really am
