Scottie Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Both of my 3 year old hybrids keep falling over and can't stand up properly. One of them seemed a bit poorly this morning before I went to work, but they are both now completely hunched and if they try to move their legs seem to give way. Have made an appointment at the vet for 5.30pm. I got 6 new girls at the weekend but have kept them separate from the older ones so hopefully they won't get whatever it is. Feel a bit upset. Sheila PS I don't know why this post says it's after six o'clock - it's just after 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 You probably didn't alter the forum time when the clocks changed. Sorry to hear about your girls. It sounds as if a visit to the vet is a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Just back from the vet. They were so poorly that they've both been put to sleep. He thought it was either something neurological or a tumour. They couldn't stand on the vet's table at all. Am trying hard not to cry.
