I've just had a really upsetting phonecall off one of my best mates who i rehomed a young male MC with his sister that i'd brought in for stud but wasn't going to be stud material (too nutty but was a sweet boy)

I've just been told he's got kidney failure and having to be put down!!

Does anyone know why such a young boy would get this?? is it something genetic or anything the breeder did??

I'm asking as i know a breeder who has one of this boys sisters and if it's something that could have been with the whole litter i need to tell her really

Can find bits and bobs about this stuff but not anything enough to explain it properly, does anyone know much about this or could point me in the right direction??

i'm in complete peices - i feel so awful aswell as i didn't have a clue!! xx The vet bill has come to 3k aswell but i sent him with petplan insurance so hopefully this will be covered x i've offered to help pay for anything over though if it isn't as i feel responsible for their loss even though i had no idea xx

i've also promised her that if she wants a kitten to replace Alfie (sounds awful i know but alot of people replace quickly) that she is welcome to one of my own breeding for free and i test my girls and boys for everything i possibly can anyway xx

i'm shell shocked i tell you xx what an awful thing to happen to such a sweet little man!!
