Rex's_Mummy
Young Bun
Its been lovely and warm here today so i let Rex out the back garden, i didnt have much of a choice anyway coz he can use the cat flap.
I decided to clean out Blue and Ash coop and run this afternoon, while i did i let them out in the garden so i could get to the coop better. As soon as i did Rex lunged at Blue and ragged her, it took me about 20 seconds to get him off her!
I was so stunned, he was always been ok with the girls, nothing major to worry about, he has been hopping about the run most of the day touching noses with her through the chicken wire, this came out of no where.
Blue is hurt, got a few marks, no vet will see her tonight coz i dont get paid untill tomorrow which im am totally outraged at! i have phoned all the vets in the area but they all said no, surely they should have a duty of care to any animal who is injured?!!!! i have been sobbing down the phone to 4 different vets and they all said, no pay no treatment, even tho i can pay in the morning! the call out charge alone was £70, surely if im willing to pay that rather than wait till tomorrow then it shows she is hurt!!
so for now i have bought her inside, bathed her grazes with antiseptic lotion and will so i can keep an eye on her, she is hopping about and eating so thats a good sign, vets first thing tomorrow morning for her tho.
What im most upset about tho is Rex, i have now lost all trust in him and i am very warey of being around him, he always chases my cats but i just asumed that was play, but now im worried about it incase he ever gets hold of them, what if he does this to me or my kids one day?
Does anyone have any experiance on this, i dont want to be scared of him, i love him to bits, i dont want to re home him either, what can i do?
