Hi Everyone, I'm sorry I haven't written in awhile, but I thought I would write to tell you Sequoia has gone to the rainbow bridge today. I woke up around 6:00am and found him lying on the bathroom floor, when I had gone in to refill a water bottle. I petted him and he lifted his head, but didn't move otherwise. I picked him up and he was very cold. I wrapped him in a t-shirt and brought him into bed with me. I held him while I fell back to sleep. When I woke, he seemed much worse. We called the vet and told him what was going on. The vet asked if we wanted to put him down, and we decided to let him go on his own. At noon, we decided he was really bad and called our vet to meet us at the clinic. We drove to the clinic with him, while we were waiting for the vet to pull up, Sequoia took his last breath while lying in my lap. When the vet arrived, shortly after, we went inside and Sequoia still had a faint heartbeat. Our vet gave him the shot to help him along. My poor baby is gone. I knew it was coming, but you can never prepare yourself for this. I loved him so much. Now he is playing with Loki at the rainbow bridge. I will write to more about what the vet found during the necropsy, but right now it is just too much. Teresa [Posted in FML issue 2797]
