It is with a heavy heart that I have to let you know that little Lucky Girl is at the Bridge now. Mom and Dale took her to the vet yesterday because she was wheezing, lethargic, not eating and her eyes had started to get goopy. The vet estimated her age at about 8 weeks (her teeth and leg length I'm supposing) and said that he couldn't vaccinate her because she was too sick. He gave them some ointment for her eyes and sent her home with them. BTW, Lucky charmed every last one of the people at the vet clinic - everybody was fussing over her . She died some time in the night; Mom thinks it was early on because rigor was starting to leave her little limbs and there were a few whiffs of decomposition. They're having her funeral this afternoon so Dale's grandson Riley (who bonded amazingly with little Lucky) can have that step to aid in closure. He's hurti! ng something awful - Mom said he's been crying since they told him she'd died. Well, to be fair, Mom and Dale have been crying off and on all morning too - Lucky was a special little fluff ball. Mom was saying that Lucky wasn't so lucky after all, but I told her she definitely was. They gave her a loving home for the last little bit of her life and she knew loving people and died safe and warm. She was just too tiny and had had too many stresses on her little body to have anything left to fight with.
Thanks for being here you guys - I love you all!!
p.s. Belinda, I don't know her FeLV status so just put her on the negative list
