Well, today was the day that our little angels went to have their bits seen to a dot be honest, if I'd know what it entailed, I'd have thought twice about having it done. To see them trussed up in sticky bandage to stop them moving, was upsetting in itself, its when they did their most crying. They then had injection after injection, to put them to sleep, andtibiotic and another one, they were like little pincushions. Billy was done first, and once asleep, he was perfectly well behaved. However, when it came to Toby's turn, he made such a noise it was awful. The injections were done, the deed was done, he should have woken up. He didnt.The vet gave him another injection, still asleep. At this time I was beginning to panic as Billy had been up and about straight away. I think in total, Toby had another 3 jabs of different drugs to try and wake him. Finally after about half an hour, we were able to get him on his feet. Actually, we brought BIlly over to him, and his nudges to his brother seemed to help.I dont mind telling you, I cried with joy. To see my little boy lying there with his tongue hanging out of his mouth was so distressing. Once he was awake, we had to walk him around for a good while then the vet checked him again. I had to sit in the back of the car so that I could watch them the whole journey home.
We now have them recovering in our porch, Ive just been able to give them some water, they are not to eat until tomorrow, but all they are doing is bleating and Im sure its because they are hungry. They havent drunk the water, even though they have been weeing a lot!
I feel so awful that Ive put my boys through that. I had to help the vet, so I was totally aware of what he was doing. Bloomin awful. I never believed that such little boys could have such huge testicles!!! They will be going hime to their house a bit later, when Ive cleared it of hay, otherwise their belating would keep us awake all night!
