Default Re: Campbells - injured back/legs?

I am so sorry. 18 months is a good lifespan for a Russian dwarf. You maybe won’t know what it was. It could have been a strike, or pressure from a tumour on the spine or nerves, or injury from a fall. But he had a good life with you in a loving home and at least he died peacefully at home, They tend to “keep going” till the end.

I suspect he may have had a tumour with you saying he sat hunched sometimes. They don’t show signs of pain, being prey animals, they hide pain. Hunching can indicate they have pain. Or he may have always had some genetic problem that flared up now and then.
