OK, Sealy case book:
9th February 2004- Sealy was born.
25th February 2004- Two weeks- Sealy attacked by a ferret.
12th March 2004- One month old- The approximate date that Sealy was separated from his mother because his growth problems were recognised.
Sealy's health problems escalated soon after with multiple blockages in his intestines and it became apparent that his digestive system wasn't working properly. He is given months to live.
October 2004- Eight months old- Sealy falls ill again for a short while, then recovers.
9th February 2005- Sealy celebrates his first birthday against the odds.
August 2005- One year, eight months old- Sealy falls ill again after his back teeth spur (malocclusion) and his guts do into stasis. After an operation, he recovers.
22nd October 2005- a lump is found in Sealy's caudal abdomen.
24th October 2005- The vets think that the lump is a distended stomach caused by a blockage.
25th October 2005- Sealy falls very very ill overnight and the vets realise that he is too sick to be x-rayed due to the anaesthetic. They decide to take bloods instead.
27th October 2005- Sealy is diagnosed with gut and liver failure. His only chance is an operation, but if it fails or his condition deteriorates, then the vets advise that he is put to sleep.
November 2005- Sealy has had his operation and survived, despite what the vets thought. He needs to drink lots of water to keep his stomach operating, and therefore keep him alive long enough for his liver to repair. His stomach is still distended and he is not drinking enough, but otherwise has slowly become more lively and more willing to annoy the girl bunny *sigh*.
I'll tell you how the story ends.
