We lost him this morning.
I don't have many words so forgive me and not putting on facebook yet but, he had his plasma transfer at 8am and my wonderful vet had it start on a very slow drip due to Max's size. Within moments, he arrested through an allergic reaction. It is incredibly rare, and the moment his breathing dropped, the drip came out, adrenaline was given and cpr but he's gone.

The chance of long term survival without plasma is pretty much zero so it was an absolute necessity for him to have it. Just one of those freak allergic reactions that can't be foreseen.

He had such a fun filled night and I didn't go to bed so enjoyed almost all of it with him. He was sedated when he went so he wouldn't have known and I got to have him wrapped up in my arms.

I'm broken. Me, Dan and the vet just sat there in utter disbelief. My poor vet. He's a repro specialist and worked out he's done well over 600 plasma transfers and although he has heard of this happening very rarely, he'd never seen it.

Thank you all for the support and well wishes. I'm going to bed to avoid MIL as I just can't deal with her being upset about it.

Sleep well little man. Hope you had a good 6 days with me and Dan x
 
Oh so sorry to hear this, so very sad. He had no chance at all without you though and had he not been found he would have died so quickly cold and alone you gave him everything you could and did the very best for him and he got to know warmth and company in his little life
 
So so sorry, you gave it your all!l but it just wasnt meant to be ((hugs)) try to get some rest and if need be send mil home, take care of yourselves x
 
Am in tears for a little man I didn't even know. So very sorry but thank you to you and Dan for all the effort you put in to make him comfortable, warm and happy during his short little life. Take care of yourselves now and know that you did everything possible.
 
I'm so sad to read this, gg. Truly tearing up as I sit here thinking of little Max and how lucky he was to have had you and Dan. You did everything and more and we were all rooting for the little fellow and following his thread. I'm so sorry, there are really no words. You have the whole forum behind you xx
 
I'm so sorry C. I'll let you be for the moment so that you can get some rest, but you know where I am if you need me.
If there's life after death, I hope Ted is still in the newbie paddocks, waiting for Max to join him xx
 
So very sorry to read this GG, my heart goes out to you. Be proud of what you gave him in those 6 days and be gentle with yourselves x
 
I have absolutely no words - I just can not think of a single thing to say to make any of this feel better _GG_ I am so very bloody sorry xxx you know where I am if you need to scream down the phone xxx
 
Ah so sorry. RIP Max.

You and Dan gave him time he would not otherwise have had, and did everything possible for him. He was cared for, and brought happiness to so many through your posts on here.

Three of us sat here tearing up.
 
You tried your best GG. I wonder if his mother knew something no-one else did? So sorry after all your emotional and physical energy you put into him.
 
Sincere condolences. RIP little Max. You're still a legend in my eyes GG. You did everything humanly possible and in his brief stay on earth, little Max was surrounded by love and support.
