Meeting neighbors
Am utterly heart broken and wrecked, my days literally revolves around him and his neediness and now I feel so empty. It was sudden death, he had been a tad bit quieter the past two days after lunch but the moment I poked him, he went back to his usual self. Didn’t cause any concern. I noticed he wasn’t chatty yesterday morning and thought it was odd, peeked into the cage from a hole in his cover and noticed he wasn’t on his perch I immediately felt my heart drop because I knew there was something wrong. He was dead face down, like he was sleeping. Oh how I wish I could’ve held him and comforted him in his last moments.
Necropsy was performed two hours later, he had an enlarged liver with spots. Everything else looked fine. Liver was sent off to pathology for further testing. Vet says she doesn’t know, could have been a blood clot leading to a stoke. Could’ve been a congenital disease. Hopefully will get a better answer when lab results come back.
Am just gutted, he was only 12 going on 13 this year. I adopted him July 2020 and thought we would go into middle age together. My YNA can sense something is wrong, thankfully she is healthy and fine. I just keep wondering if there’s anything I could’ve done. I worked so hard to improve his diet. I wonder if it’s the homemade toys. I just keep wondering. I miss the little guy so much already. It’s going to be really hard overcoming this loss.
