My 8 year old bun had what we thought was an EC exacerbation 2 weeks ago. He was on Panacur for about 10 days and his hemoglobin dropped to less than half, liver enlarged. We stopped Panacur. For 3 days he’s been on SC Fluids and Critical Care. He smells his food (all kinds of hay to entice him, pellets, bananas) but other than a tiny nibble, won’t eat. Doesn’t seem to be in pain but doesn’t look happy. Urinating, but only tiny, malformed poops.
A few are telling me to euthanize. I learned our 1 vet in town takes buns to the back and dies an intra-cardiac injection. This horrified me and I don’t want to do this.
At what point do I make a decision? And should I drive an hour to a different vet or is this standard euthanasia practice?
