A sad day...

The little parson baby passed to the Rainbow Bridge last Friday. I took her to the vets to see what Stuart thought and he immediately noticed her exagerated head shape, after chatting about her behaviour and symptoms it seemed most likely that she was suffering with hydrocephalus and that the resultant lack of co-ordination was the reason she was struggling to feed properly, even when bottle or hand fed she was taking on very little. This had already left her tiny and thin and permanently hungry so we had to make the difficult decision to save her from any further suffering; she passed peacefully away but it was a very sad moment, having watched her fight to survive and start to develop her own little personality over the last four weeks...sleep well little girl x

What I hadn't expected was Squirrels reaction, she spent the next couple of days searching round the house trying to find her and was very quiet, almost depressed, for the next few days. I brought her and the rest of the puppies downstairs as a distraction and thankfully she seems to be ok now. The rest of the babies are doing really well, new photos to follow...
