I got a call at 4 in the morning, I was there in 10 minutes and the vet was about 10 minutes behind me. Despite the best treatment, he passed away at 8:45. I really debated about taking him straight to the hospital for colic surgery, but he was so weak that he actually fell over a few times, so the vet and I opted to treat him at the farm (vet wasn't quite sure if it was colic or enteritis). Looking back, I am so glad I didn't take him, as the nearest hospital is two hours away if there's no traffic; the vet worked on Mac for quite a while, and if we had waited for a trailer, it would have been getting close to rush hour. Mac would have died in the trailer, which is the one thing that could have possibly been worse.<br />The vet was at the farm twice between 4:30 and 7:30; unfortunately, when Mac started to really get into trouble, it was just him and me. He passed away ten minutes before the vet made it back.<br />At least he wasn't alone -- I was with him until his last breath.Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-48849758637894155042010-02-17T15:23:52.626-05:002010-02-17T15:23:52.626-05:00Hugs to the Mac man.
