Mistletoe- pm results, post 53

halfpenny said:
Thank you everybody, but Mistletoe was PTS about 20mins ago. Her bloat had blown up again and she was in great pain, the vet had tried everything. We rushed over and to be honest I made a fool of myself by clutching st straws about any other options, but the vets had tried everything. We were with her, she was sedated first and injected through her IV tube. The vet will do a pm tomorrow, we all want to try and find out what went wrong and also if it is possibly something the others may be at risk of developing.:cry:

So sorry to read this halfpenny, at least you gave her every chance which is loads more than her former owners would have done I feel. :cry:
 
I'm so sorry. :cry:
By the time I had brought up a window to post vibes she had passed. I am so very sorry. :cry::cry:
You did all you could. She knew she was loved and you saved her from a sad and lonely life.
(((((((((((((Huge hugs to you))))))))))))))))))
 
Mistletoe's pm results haven't really helped much, there was no blockage, her caecum was filled with partially digested fibrous material and there were mucous covered poops in her intestine. All the vet can say is that her guts stopped working for some unknown reason and there was nothing we could have done to prevent it. :cry:
I wonder if it was the same issue as your Albus, parsnip bun, and it was due to the fact her system could not cope with hay after living for so long without it. The good news is, it wasn't a deformity likely to affect the other.
It just kills me that she spent 3 year being kept wrongly and dies 2 months after coming here.

Are they sending samples off to check for pathogens such as coccidia ?

Might be worth mentioning it incase as your Vet may suggest treating your other Rabbits as a precaution.

I am so sorry that she could not recover :cry:
