All I can say is Fatimus rl name Rosie Toffee give up the fight to live anymore. She felt tortoured and had enough.
She refused the metacam and stopped eating though she did have some grass that DD2 picked her after school. There was hardly any poo or wee all day and she must have been very uncomfortable.
In the evening I give her fibreplex and critical care but it wasn't enough to save her. Naughty has been missing her this week and I put them together. They smuggled in and comforted each other. Naughty stuck her head under Fatimus chin. After Naughty went back to the hutch Fatimus tucked herself away in her cuddle sac, bum towards us and no tasty treat would tempt her.
At 3.00am I woke up and found she had moved the food around but was in a deep sleep. Then she opened her eyes a bit and looked like she was straining for a painful poo. I'd seen enough and syringed metacam into her mouth and hoped she would eat cucumber to take the taste away but she didn't
I think after awhile the pain relief kicked in and she slipped off into sleep again. I went to bed know that would be the last time I saw her alive. I was right. I was up again at 7.00am and she had gone.
I think if it hadn't been for her needing the second operation to repair the stitching I believe she would have made it. She was quite bright on Tuesday. Who knows if she done more damage to herself.
Naughty has seen her but clearly didn't want to be with her (so different from last night) so she knows.
Fatimus and Old Boy adored each other so Fatimus will be buried next to him.
I am heartbroken again DD1 has taken it harder than I thought she would and DD2 was in lots of tears. Fatimus was DD2 guinea pig but we all loved her.
RIP Rosie Toffee. You rode buses, grew huge, were greedy, bossy, liked to sit on my shoulder and drove Todd wild with desire and gave him something to live a long life for
