[natashja]

my little axie shyla is deforme in the body and i am beginning to wonder if she is just really really blocked.
her rib cage and abdomen is bloated and looks as if it belongs on a bigger axie.
she dosnt grow either ive had her for two month now and she is a full 2 inch shorter than her siblings. help me please

Eek this sounds like what my axie died from. It could be a bactirial infection in her belly. You have to take her to the vets and get some antibiotics.

sorry to hear about your axie, ive just found out that there is one vet who lives 200km away who might know about axies, and ill try calling him tomorrow.
thanks lorie

Bloat can be caused by infection, or by organ failure. If it progresses slowly, it is more likely to be organ failure.

ooooh dammm

i really dont want to lose my little angel, are there any reports of axies regenerating themselves ????.

sadly i know for a fact that she sufered severe heat stress before she came to me. so i will try to find a vet who can do a test and tell me if is a bacterial and can be curede, otherwise i will give her a good life for as long as she has no paine.

Lots of clouds to chew on up there - maybe she can be a new freind for my Ari?

You did your best, and she'd have been very happy with the love you lavished upon her

 

[natashja]

thank you both
you are right glen shyla is definetly in a better place now, but i still miss her.
and amber im sure that shyla and ari are chasing clouds and stars together.

as a old petshop owner once told my mother
when you buy a pet you buy a world of love and good memories, and one big sorrow.
