I know its five years later but I realised I never updated you all, you might be interested. She died of malignant hyperthermia. It's a rare reaction to certain drugs used for anesthetic that causes a hypermetabolic crisis - severe hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, seizures and death. She was...

Yes that is my guess. See I noticed she was often hot and I assumed it was because it was summer and she was big and fluffy. So in the two weeks before the anesthetic even I was having to put the fan on her to help her out a bit. One of those things we'll never know xx

Hello everyone Yesterday (Wed) I took my female flemish giant Charlie (6mo, 5.4kg/12lbs) to be spayed. They anaesthetised her, but once they turned her over her breathing slowed due to her being 'a bit too fat' so they didn't go ahead with the operation, reversed the anaesthetic and let her...
