Bernie, the baby bun with dental issues I saved from a fair 2 years ago developed an infection On Sat. causing exopthalmos ( displacement ) of his left eye. The eye began to bulge at an extremely rapid rate although I saw a vet within an hour of the discovery. He was started on bicillin and another drug immediately however by Sun the eye displacement was so severe I reluctantly had him euthanized at my shelter.
Today a necropsy indicated 3 infected toothroots and an abscess The vet said the abscess was about to break and would have drained down his throat. She may have been able to place antibiotic beads in the toothroot area and saved him if I had waited but there would have many more chronicdental issues in his future.
I did what I had to do at the time although it is hard to euthanize a 2y old.
Bernie was a sweet , quirky little chinchilla bun who was bonded to his brother Brett. So far Brett seems to be doing OK alone.
This is so "deja vu" after what I went through with my holland lop , Beau.
RIP little guy. Your were loved a whole lot and I will miss you so much:heartbeat:
