Basically I think his adrenal or insulinoma took a turn for the worse. We were checking and feeding him each 2 hrs, and Abrahame found him unconscious but alive but not visibly breathing, His heart was sort of buzzing, and he showed small but not hopeful signs of life -- back feet twiched twice, tail bottle-brushed, his eyes were wide open, and they closed (mostly) after he died. He died while I was holding him under my tshirt. The one pitiful good thing is that now he wont have to go through the long journey from here to there. [Posted in FML 7733]
