I am sorry that I haven't been able to do this sooner but the grief and guilt I feel right now is so powerful and overwhelming.
I had to make the heartbreaking decision to have Ellie PTS on Tuesday 8... She was struggling to eat on Monday night and just didn't seem herself. Eliza snuggled up to her all night long as if she new there was something wrong. On Tuesday morning, Ellie was still struggling to eat. I suddenly wondered if she had a dental issue so took her along with me to my vet placement as the vet there is an exotics vet and is good with dentals.
Anyway, it was found that Ellie had very diluted urine and lumps were found around her kidneys 8... Ellie was diagnosed with kidney failure. She past a lot of blood after the examination and went downhill very quickly. It was horrendous to watch and I was advised that the kindest thing to do would be to PTS. I was and still am devastated. I sat with her for a good hour to say my goodbyes before the procedure. Ellie had lost a bit of weight over the last few months but we assumed this was down to a lump removal she had in August and an allergy we were still trying to discover from what from as she occasionally 'hooted'. She did drink a little more than my other girls but this has always been the case.
Gillian explained that this could have came on very quickly and I shouldn't beat myself up but I am doing. I didn't want to see her suffer but I can't cope with the fact that I made the decision to end her life and my heart is breaking 8...
Sleep peacefully Eleanor. I love you and my heart is aching so much for you 8... Eliza, Erin and Ena are very quiet without you and miss you too.
I adopted you four years ago in April as a companion for Eliza after we had lost Connie. You were such a joy to have and you turned in to such a loving piggy.
I am so, so sorry that you didn't make it to your fifth birthday and that I had to let you go.
Sleep peacefully Angel, you have left a huge hole that can never be replaced.
Lot's and lot's of love from me, Eliza, Erin and Ena xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
