muttley boy, mr fancypants, mr long whiskers, mr troublemaker-show-everyone-how-to-climb-over-the-pen is gone.
i found him when i came home from work yesterday.
still in shock a bit - he was his usual 'hi, mommy, let's cuddle' first thing yesterday morning and this is the first time i've found someone like this. it's very disconcerting
other than adrenal disease, which was being treated (a new des implant was due next month) he was healthy - as far as i knew. he not shown any signs of anything being off other than a recent bit of weight loss which i contributed to the des wearing off as he was super skinny before starting lupron, then gained a ton of weight/muscle and then lost some during the transistion from lupron to the des...
from his position, he seems to have had a seizure - i'll never know for sure since i'm not able to get him to the vet to get a necropsy done. doesn't really matter why, i suppose...he'll still be gone even if they can see anything which isn't guaranteed since decomp had already started - so, he must have left for the bridge shortly after i left for work (and i worked a very long day so got home a few hours after i normally would).

The way we lose our babies can be startling and unexpected, but at least he can play easy at the Bridge now.
I'm so very sorry for your loss

I am so sorry your sweet little baby decided to leave, but rest assured that there was nothing you could do, you were a wonderful mom and I think he was waiting to have his last cuddle with you this morning before he left. He loved his mom; I am sure of that one. I will be thinking of you both-there are many ferrets that have left these past few months and they will be helping him cross and playing with him until one day you meet again. <3 I am so sorry for your loss

A candle is lit for Chauncey to guide his paws onto his next great adventure. I'm sure he's running and playing with Pip who left just a few days ago to travel on over the rainbow. He no longer has to wait for the injections to feel better, he runs free, no pain, no fear. He now plays in the dappled shade in the deep forests, playing in fresh, sparkling streams and digging is the soft leaf strewn glades. He is never lonely, for he now has the company of many, some he knows, some are strangers, but all are welcome. Like so many, he too, will stop in the middle of hard play...sniff, look, his dark eyes glazing ever so slightly as his memories of the one who gave him his heart key, stir deep within but the time isn't right so he goes back to his games. He knows that some day, when the time is right, he will once again be held close, smell the familiar scent of his person and feel that gentle touch. Until then he will play and ride the wind to stir memories, and slip gently into dreams to offer comfort to the giver of his heartkey. Gentle journey sweet boy, you are so missed ciao

thank you.
well, i was able to get a necropsy done - due to rusty (cat) getting blocked again and i had to rush him up there.
sigh. chauncey had a hematoma or tumor on his liver and it burst - so, he bled out. it would have been a quick passing and that's some consolation since i wasn't with him when it happened - hopefully he didn't even realize what was going on before he was gone.

I've held 2 little ones while they passed from almost the same thing. If it offers you any consolation at all, it's very fast and though it's never easy to watch a little one go, they don't appear to suffer. They basically just go to sleep You would not have had time to even call the vet from the time you realized that something was wrong until the time that they give that last parting sigh. At least you know what happened and you won't be questioning yourself How is your poor kitty? Poor wee thing. Why is it trouble never travels alone I will light a candle for the wee thing, I hope that everything works out ok ciao
