Ever had any proper pet disasters?

[Kellybee]

You know what, thinking about it I have had some real close shaves with my pets over the years, I just was telling my pal about the day my collared got in the timor monitor's viv, which filled me with sheer horror...........

we nearly had a death bout 7 years back, our kitten sam rip though it would be a good idea to climb inside the tumbledryer because it was warm, my mum didnt see him and piled a load more washing in and she was just about to turn it on and the kittens head popped up to the glass, then he got run over a couple of years back

well i dont know were to start. after having animals for 15 years (all my life) and most of them getting on before i was born we have had a lot of disasters, from rabbits, to budgies, to dogs etc. but the latest was not fatal thank god but i thought it was. it was a few weeks back i was riding my eventer horse and he decided he didnt want to be ridden (known to be a little on the naughty side) so he decided to rear and buck and then bolt. i stayed on that as this is part of the normal riding routine with him. when he bolted we reached a gate. he decided he couldnt stop so the only way out was over the gate. so he made an attempt to jump over the gate post but failed. as a result of this he caught his leg on the side of the gate post and ripped it wright open. i was catapulted about 20ft (not messing) from the gate so i was quite dazed when landed, as i looked up i saw blood everywere and a horse with a seriously injured leg. then i was histerical so i didnt see much more until the vet came. the vet then put 40 staples in his leg and he has his whole leg bandaged for 6 weeks after. one experience i would never wish on anybody. thankfull he is ok now and i rode him for the second time after the accident today and he was good!!!
many more disasters happened but i could blab on for ages.
thanks for listen to me little rant

not me but my dad done this. We had a lovely budgie called Charlie (well we've had about 20 called charlie really. lol) and he was out and about in the living room and my dad walked in, the budgie made a B-line for the door, so my dad slammed it shut, decapitating Charlie. that was messy...

Aww Lee I hope he is feeling a bit better there is nothing worse than staples, my horse had 4 in his neck when he was attacked by a dog, needless to say the staples lasted all of about 5 minutes, it seems so barbaric they must irritate the hell out of em, but at least yours was a recoverable accident, hope he's able to continue eventing it would be tragic for him to be disabled doing what he does best. I just hope he spent his time off plotting ways to get you off without hurting himself, lol.

I used to have a huge black moor fish, who i left my neighbours to look after while i was away... along with a very large albino axolotyl who was in a separate tank.


While i was away the tank containing the black moor suffer a stress crack and started to leak so being helpful my neigbours put the black moor in with the axy.

I came home to a black moor with just one eye and a gaping eye socket and a very fat happy axy!

I bought 2 yemens a little while ago. Have no sold the male. they were the fast chams for me. The shop i bought them from told me that i could keep them together. I bought 2 they was around 3 months old. I woke up morning after next when i got them and found the female dead.

The shop offered me £25 off of another!

One of my cats got run over and i found her in a bag on my door step...

My cat i've had for like 18 years has killed hampsters and fish.
But he doesnt seem interested in the reptiles

My channel catfish once killed a heron. Such a shame I love both animals but the catfish lunged at the herons legs, thinking they were food. We took the heron to the rescue center but I haven't seen it sice, it used to be a regular.
Another one of mine is when my horse stood on the side of my face. I got a horse shoe make for a year.
