She died yesterday tea time.  At the vets.  Very upsetting, she was the favourite as she was hand reared and she trusted me completely.

Took her to vets again yesterday (she was leaking at the nose) and had to leave her there, they did xrays and saw a blockage - vet thought it looked like gravel, so they sluiced her and a lot of liquid came out and she immediately looked and felt much better so they left her in the stables for a bit.  Xrayed her again and did the same but obviously she was too weak to cope with a second treatment and when vet checked on her in the stables again she had died.  Feel so bad I wasn't with her, she was just 2 and would have been frightened.

Thanks for all your concerns and replies everyone, tas still great as ever.

So sad for you that after all you and the vet had done, she didn't make it.

So sorry for your trouble. Thank you for sharing with us anyway.

So sorry, we were all with you hoping. 
maybe it's a lesson for all of us to insist on an x ray in similar situations?
did they look to see what the blockage was?

So very sorry to hear this. I have been following this topic and really do feel for you. x

Sorry, bit late in coming back to this.

If anything learnt here it was that I should have acted sooner with xrays etc, it wasn't a sudden thing so I expected it to clear up but when an animal is weak over illness of a couple of weeks it isn't strong enough to cope with the aggressive gut sluicing and being in a house (vets on site stable in this case) alone.

Will remember that the next time (sadly).

Thanks all.
