TESSANN Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 My ex batt, Priscilla, who has been free for twelve months now has suddenly started having breathing problems. Yesterday, I noticed she was in the Eglu for a long time and when I checked her breathing was heavy, laboured and noisy. I monitored through the day and she seems alert but very hot and having difficulty with her body heaving to breathe. Today, she is not eating and not really interested in anything and is in her bed with the same problem, but still responds and seems quite alert. I know I will have to take her to the vets tomorrow but wondered if anyone had any ideas at to what it might be or how I can make things more comfortable for her until I can get her seen at the vets.

Egluntyne Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I would bring her in and keep her warm until you can get a vet's appointment. Sounds like a chest infection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyhas3chucks Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Best advice you will get Rosemary. Good luck. (did you listen to see if she rattles when you put your ear to her back?) Sandy AKA shehas etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TESSANN Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately she has just died. I thought she was picking up, had something to eat and drink, then had what I presume was a massive heart attack. She is not suffering now, bless her.
