Carly and Abbey came to us (my mom and I) to be fostered due to the owners not wanting them anymore. They were 12 and 13 years old and Carly had been on seizure meds for 9 years. They had been together always. My mom and I are nurses and we nursed this poor baby all we possibly could. The vet said with the stress of the move she just couldn't handle all of the change. We syringed her fluids and watered down food (baby food) and karo water. She just couldn't do it anymore and died peacefully in her sleep.
Needless to say-we are heartbroken at the least-but very upset that they were given up when they needed their owners the most.
I LOVE being a part of a rescue organization-but at the same time it can be pretty heartwrenching.
Just want everyone to hug their babies and promise to be there for them ALWAYS!! And love a rescue, any rescue-they work so hard-yet sometimes the work takes its toll emotionally.
Thanks for listening!!
