This is true. If it is indeed B1 deficiency, by the time symptoms this severe show up, there is already severe damage to the central nervous system, internal organs, and it usually causes an enlarged heart as well. Prognosis isn't good for advanced cases.

Re: Advice please
Well despite a trip to the vet and eyedroper fed vitamin supplements, my little one lost its fight for life today, and I feel completely responsible...
Thank you all for you advice and help.
What a sucky day..._______________________________

Re: Advice please
Terribly sorry to hear that, Peter.
People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Re: Advice please
Most of us have been where you're at.
If not your exact situation, something similar.
Sorry to hear about your little ones passing.
My condolences.Steve

Re: Advice please
Sorry for your loss Peter, i understand how heart breaking it is to watch.
Im currently treating one of my concinnus with similar/milder symptoms of your little one. Ive been injecting her with B1 for 5 days at the moment, with not a great sign of improvement. She's on a fairly balanced diet too (rodents/trout/salmon) with added liquid supplements, so it can just happen.

Re: Advice please
If she has been on a balanced diet why is the diagnosis lack of B vitamins? Can the vets test and definitively say it must be due to lack of b vitamins and not brought on by an infection of some sort?

Re: Advice please
Sorry for your loss. That sort of thing happens to everybody at some point, and it sounds like you really went the extra mile for your little one. I hope this experience doesn't discourage you from keeping garters, they're really wonderful animals.
