Hi :wave:
The background is that I had two French lops, Dexter and Ruby. Ruby developed an abscess by her ear she went in to have it lanced and drained but did not make it through the anaesthetic. This left dexter alone which I didn't want to with a lot of though I acquired a young frenchie, Amber, the bonded really really well and I was very chuffed with my self as find bonding very stressful.
On Saturday I had a party to celebrate my 30th birthday, the buns were given evening pellets before we went and all was good. Late sunday morning after clearing the hall etc my husband went to let the buns out and only dexter came running. My husband called me as Amber was laying in the litter tray, she didn't move her breathing was laboured but she had one eye on me her next was practically back on herself. I placed her in a carrier and she kind or contorted into a bent ball was horrible to see. We rushed her to vets where they said it was pasturella or EC and was she was taken out back to be PTS.
I lost my nethie a couple of years ago in a similar way, she was bonded to pip and one day I noticed he was holding her up but within 45-1 hour she was in similar state to Amber and was pts. I have been reading up on line and I have not come across anyone yet who has experienced a similar thing it always seem to be symptoms that have progressed over time and have received treatment.
I am now questioning whether I was right in agreeing to them being PTS and whether treatment was an option.
I am treating Dex with panacure as am so worried I will lose him too now.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this??
Thanks in advance.
