Little Pepito had to be put down today as she had a feeding problem, hadn't gained any weight since she was born (even with two hourly supplement feeds), and this morning she experienced respitory failure. It's amazing the bond you build up with a puppy after five days of being a substitute mother. It's all very sad :-
I am sure, I do want to let you know that I am in great greif with your loss. I had a cat once and I didnt have her but three days and was her mom she was a week old, I didnt know that mother animals have to lick the behinds of the babys in order for them to go to the bathroom so I also lost my kitten. Given I was only 12 I did my best to supply my kitten with what it needed.
I've just become the proud grandmother of five white/brindle & white mini bull terriers.
2 boys and 3 girls.
