Ffion died suddenly and completely unexpectedly during a vet visit this afternoon; the added stress of the examination must have been too much for her. She'd been a bit on the quiet side yesterday and then didn't turn up for the group dinner and only nibbled on a bit of sweetcorn (her favourite) and hay. This morning, she didn't want to eat at all and was rather lethargic, so I booked her in at the vets.
I was worried, as I'd found some buttercup leaves amongst the dandelions a neighbour had collected for the piggies. I always thoroughly rinse and look at the leaves before handing them out, but one may have escaped my attention.
I will never know now.
It was an utterly devastating experience seeing her passing away so quickly (but peacefully) under my hands. I am feeling still very dazed and am struggling to take it in.
