the same vets that are refusing to treat my guinea pig assured me that my daughters bunny was fine, despite him not eating his nuggets he was eating his veg and hay the vet checked his teeth and said he may need a dental in the future but as long as hes eating hay and veg he will be fine
well he obviously not fine as i have just found him passed away in his hutch, despite being ok earlier
god knows what i am going to tell my little girl! :(
he was only a year old
R.I.P little fidget 8...8...8...
 
Oh my god you have had the worst luck ever. I am so so sorry. You must make a strong complaint and change the vets.
 
i will do piggyfan definately, am so angry right now, not sure that i could get away with another bunny with the cagemate flops as he doesnt get on with our lone female bunny as he chaeses her away, it was the little one whos gone that liked her, so dont know if he would accept another bunny :(
 
Very sorry to read this. I would definately look to change vets.

RIP Fidget

will def be taking all my small pets to trinity from now on, it may be a hour and a half buss and train ride but at least the care will be alot better
 
Good idea. That vet should be struck off for making a life threatening mistake. Your poor bunny. :(
 
i couldnt complain tonight as there was a different vet on for out of hours, but will phone up tomorrow and complain, it should be on record what vet he we saw last time
the man could not even sex the gerbil properly! the elderly one we have just lost was adopted as a boy from pah and i was sure it was a girl esp as the tumour she had was inside and girls can suffer from tumours on their reproductive organs at around 2 years of age, he had to look at a book then when he still wasnt sure took the gerbil and asked one of the nurses!
i am just so angry and upset he was a lovely sweet bunny and still only a baby
 
What a useless vet if he cannot even sex a gerbil. He is meant to be an expert. I can understand why you are so angry. It is awful. I am just so sad and sorry for what happened. How is your daughter?
 
I have experienced the same myself in the past, one of my guineas was drooling and losing weight, took him to the vet to get his teeth checked, was told his teeth were ok, this was on a thurs or friday, over the weekend he got worse so I took him back and saw a different vet, who told me his back teeth were overgrown, I had no choice but to get the teeth seen too immediately and he was given a GA, he was so weak that unfortunately on coming round from GA he passed away anyway, poor fella.
Never trusted them again and always tried my best to find a cavy savy vet.
 
i phoned them today and told them that i wasnt happy, the receptionist said that she will send a complaint form out and she hast given me the address so i can get started on it before the form turns up
i spoke to richard today at trinity vets about the bunny and hes said they can offer a post mortum if i wanted answers but my local vets said that they do it and have found that it doesnt produce many clues as to why the animal died
so not sure what route to take on that one
he was up to date on jabs and worming, mixi and worming not due til next month and vhd not due til july
have not told her just yet dont know what to say as she loved her bunny, in warmer weather she sits out in the hutch with him
 
I'm so sorry to hear this, I'm glad you have complained, if I was you I would look for a another vets, thats so upsetting.
 
i think i will be using trinity vets from now on for my rabbits after seeing them today with my piggie
 
Whee are really sorry to hear about dear little Fidget 8...8...8...
RIP Fidget binky free at the bridge, enjoy nibbling on sweet carrots and playing with your new friends, you'll be so very sadly missed by your family but NEVER ever forgotten xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) and lots of loves from Glynis, Velvet and Onyx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another little star now twinkling in the sky ........... :(
 
lovely words glynis thank you
i have the form now and will write a long letter to complain so hopefully something will be done, still so angry and so upsetting that this has happened :(
 
So sorry to hear about the bunny. :(

I think we often learn the hard way that certain vets and practices just aren't up to the job. I lost a piggy years ago which I felt was almost entirely the fault of the vet. As a result, I changed practice, but I've never forgotten that poor piggy and how she was let down.
 
thank you
i feel so guilty about it but we live and learn i guess
still doesnt stop the "what ifs"
 
That is so sad. Now your job is to find a good vet! I am so sorry for you and you daughter
 
thank you
i have sent of the complaint form, i wonder if and when i will hear anything back from them
