so if he is still hanging in there see if you can rush him into a vet that has a clue
Thank you very much for all your help.

Just spoken to him again and he says that his breathing is very faint and he doesn't think he will make it. I don't think there is another vet near by either. He has done loads of asking around and has found that there isn't really anything that can be done
Lets just hope he pulls through.

this is so sad i cant believe a vet told him to use teatree oil, its highly poisonous.
the poor little thing.
whatever happens i suggest you tell everyone which vet it was so no one else has to suffer because of their incompitence.

there may have been a possibility his skin was just irritated through quilling which would have been resolved with vitamin e oil.He may also well have had mites.
