Off to cat and rabbit we go... Got home to shadow cold, panting, dying basicly 😔

[DMS260820]

As above. Just felt I needed to share my crap evening I'm going to have

 

[DMS260820]

There's no coming back from this one I don't think, this is how every gerbil has gone when old. By the way I am seeing to him, just waiting for wife to get back

 

[Bill & Ted]

Aw, sorry, fingers crossed for shadow x

 

[piggieminder]

I am so sorry to hear this, I hope everything will be okay. X

 

[Sophie B]

Oh dear... Poor Shadow

 

[DMS260820]

Rip shadow, I decided to have him put to sleep, there's no way antibiotics even if he needed anyway, was going in his mouth in that weak state. Bless him... He was old, il rainbow bridge when I'm ready

Simon and Kim were off work, but Patricia was lovely, I did wonder why the clinic was empty in The waiting room, that's not meant in. A horrible way, uet be alot of rodents being seen

So sorry to hear this, it's always heartbreaking to find them when the end is already near. Take your time and look after yourself

Thanks, I could tell it was coming, he went less active but still healthy looking, over the last 2 months.

Yea they are delicate towards the older age. To be fair he was a ticking time bomb, I'm glad I gave him a bit more life with the scent gland tumour removal op from Simon.

Just buried him next to his bro Casper. With mealworms, and I made a mini version of a toilet roll tube too. He's in a tissue box. Now time for a cup of tea .

Thnaks everyone for the support, il make sure I'm here for everyone when then or if they ever need it. Hopefully Never!
