My bun Rosie has been through a lot after having a dental meant tooth removal due to absess and then a blockage which took 9 days of intensive care in the vets and she is now thriving.
This has been a tough journey as i left my vet who carried out the dental as he prescribed antibiotics orally which when I posted here jacks jane thankfully told me not to give them to her as basically they would have killed her. I had no reason to doubt my vet until this so after this I took my bun to a rabbit specialist nearly 2 hrs away but so worth it.
It is only after seeing the treatment and pain relief given to rosie that I realise my poor lance suffered and died in pain. My vet convinced me at the time there was nothing more we could do to help him except continue with syringe feeds and metacolpramid. As he had operated on lance 2 months before for a blockage and saved him then I had no reason to doubt him. I had to ask if I could give him some metacam but I now know it wasn't enough. In lances final hours he was bright enough so I never thought he would leave so quick and I was trying to give him a chance. I honestly didn't believe he was at the putting to sleep stage. His passing was very distressing and I cant forgive myself now I know that he was definitely in pain. I feel the vets where rosie was could have saved him. It breaks my heart to know I caused him to suffer and am finding it hard to deal with. I feel guilty that rosie is getting treatment that he should have got also.
