Poppy Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 As you know George went to the vets boarders today cause im going on my hols .I put him in his travel cage last night( he has been in it many times before ) and this morning he seemed really happy .I put him in the car and started on the 45 min journey to the vets ,all went well george was happy in the car talking away.I got to the vets booked him in and then turned round to say bye .......George was on his back shaking like anything ,claws all askew and vomiting from his nose . Alan the vet was there fortunately so he took control said George was having a fit talked to him gently let him come out of it then cleaned him up and put him back .He was very tired and really unsteady after all this so Alan took him into the hospital at the back for some quiet. He seems to think it is stress related due to it not happening before and used to travelling and the travel cage .It was so scarey .I was in tears .I have left George at the vets and said he could do all available tests .There is not a lot more I can really do but leave him there and hope things calm down and get better.I anm gonna ring again at 5-00pm for more update .Im due to go on my holidays tomorrow and am in turmoil really. He is in the best place possible and I have got all the vets numbers and he said i could text or ring anytime for an update and go and enjoy my holiday

JillyBeanz Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Poppy, that's awful ~ at least you were in the best place possible for it to happen. I'm thinking of you and George - let us know the update when you ring later. Jill x
Talon Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Oh, that's so sad.....I hope all goes well. Please keep us posted.
judygram Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Oh Marie I am so sorry to hear this, it must have upset you terribly but I hope he is going to be ok, you have left him in good hands and please let us know what you find out.
Joolesgreyuk Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Oh Poppy, that's terrible! You must have been terrified and shaking too. Sounds like it happened in the best place though so you were very lucky there. I know it will be hard for you to "enjoy" your holiday under the circumstances but what can you do for George? He is in the best place and as others have said, he is only a phone call away. Please let us know any updates.
casper Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Marie, Ive already spoken to you so Im just sending big hugs to you and George, you know where I am if you need to talk.xx
Tycos_mom Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 oh my that's terrible news. I hope everything will be OK. I hope its nothing serious. maybe the Dr. is right when he says its just stress after all the preparations for your holi and the stress he senses from you and being taken to a strange place where he's probably knows he going to have to stay for awhile That's enough to scare any bird. Thank goodness it happened there and not at home it must have been terrifying For you I could just imagine I would be a total basket case.
Poppy Posted August 1, 2009 Author Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks Caroline you are a rock and a star .A shoulder to cry on . The update on george is that he is now settled and has a calc and antibiotic injection as a precaution and will be kept under close observation for the next few days .Many Thanks for all your concern it was so nice .
casper Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks for the update Marie, Im glad George has settled. Try not to worry if that is possible, I know your holiday wont be the same but just remember, he is in the best place possible. Im sure you will be in regular contact with the vets and this should put your mind at ease.
