Nearly killed our rabbit Stan who presented with repeated gut stasis and broke bond with his partner and sent him home without a diagnosis.
Our new vet instantly found the cause: liver lobe torsion.
One month later now and Temple End refused to answer questions about care including kennel size (we suspect it was the size of a pet carrier), why the normal treatment for gut stasis was not administered, why they did not perform the ultrasound they suggested due to suspected torsion, why he was left alone overnight when care was promised, etc.
Earlier this year our other bunny, Dori, died while under anaesthetic. At the time we were devastated but understood this sometimes happens with rabbits, and was a risk we had to take. We now are left wondering if Temple End did something they shouldn't have.
We are escalating our complaint about Stan and hope they get shut down.
THEY DO NOT HAVE AN EXOTICS WARD. What they claim to have is insufficient to qualify.
NB: The vet who treated Stan seemed deeply concerned about him and did her best. But it is clear she does not have the training to handle rabbits, and so Temple End should not be advertising that they can do so. We do not blame the individual vet. We blame the practice for claiming to have an exotics ward when they clearly don't, and garnering unwarranted trust in their ability to handle rabbits. read more
