Last night while hand feeding Zeubin (he loves to come and take pellets from my hand), I noticed a huge absess around Zeubin's neck. It's so big, its roughly nearly the size of half of his head attached to his right hand side of his face going all the way round under his chin.
I feel so guilty that I didn't spot this sooner, although it most have blown up fairly rapidly.
Zeubin is currently in really bad moult. Infact, he's so tufty that he has bits and bobs sticking out of him all over the place, and his neck is so fluffy that he looks almost lionhead.
It was while feeding him last night I noticed he wasn't/couldnt move his head to the right hand side, so actually pressed down on what looked to be a big tuft of moulting fur....only to find it was hard mass.
I was mortified. My poor poor baby.
I was up till 3am last night, in tears and on the phone to every vet in west yorks trying to get him in.
Frustratingly enought, they don't seem to see it as an 'emergency case', and were advising me to wait till surgery on monday!!!!! Not a chance.
I've been on the phone this morning trying to get him into the only surgerys that are open on a Sunday...most of whom are only open for half and hour.
So far, I keep getting asked to 'call back later', as I'm still speaking to the emergency cover guys!
I've got a poorly bun who NEEDS to see a vet. I'm stuck on the phone trying my hardest to get him into one.
I'm currently trying Ashfield, who are open from 10.30-11am....and have been told to ring back after 10. Fingers crossed, I need to get Zeubin in.
I cried last night, and I feel like crying again.
