It happened....

I first want to start off by thanking everyone for their kind words and support.

This afternoon I took Phantom to the vet again.

I had been massaging him to help him pass uraites, which with my help he did pass them. But while doing that I inadverantly prolapsed him. His hempenises didn't look like any in the pictures...they were purple and bloated. So I kept him on wet paper towels till the vet could see him. Since Phantom had no control of his lower fourth, he couldn't retract them.

So the vet tooked a look at him and said that the hempenises looked as if they were ready to fall off....

I talked to the vet further and explained he didn't take his first meal and that he wasn't having any BM or passing uriates on his own, nor was there any movement of his lower fourth. So the vet told me the outcome was bleak.

We made the decision to euthanize him...

I had to learn the lesson of making sure your cages/tubs are secure the hard way...

Anyway thanks for all your thoughts and good vibes.
 
(((Layna))) I'm so sorry. I'm glad you had the strength to make the right decision, even though it must hurt awfully.

That's too bad Layna. Hopefully someone learns from your lesson so they don't have to find out 1st hand.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss - it must be heartbreaking. I know you did everything you could though to save him. I hope you feel better!
 
Condolences

I am very, very sorry and saddened to hear of your loss.
Maybe it was the best course to take. Just remember that there are many of us on the forum who have experienced the same before and you have us with you in emotions and feelings.
At least you did learn something out of this.

Ciao
 
I am so so sorry to hear of your loss!

I lost one of my little guys yesterday too and am absolutely heartbroken...

Keep your chin up! ((HUGS))
 
Hard way to learn

I agree, a very hard way to learn a lesson.
Life however can be very cruel, and we will find that things like this make us mentally as well as emotionally stronger, this is what makes us Human Beings.
Sorry about going off Topic.

Ciao
