Little Nicky has had to join her sister Perdy on the bridge this morning.
She had gone downhill quite fast overnight and was rushed to the vets this morning. She had a grade 6 heart murmmer and her heart was starting to fail.
The vet said she could prop her up but said we might only get another month with her if that, the timing of only a couple more weeks was more realistic. She would continue to decline over Easter as the process had already started, by her not eating, lethargy and dehydration etc.
I have a pregnant stray in that is due to give birth next week and I did not want to be tied up with her and miss any further signs of decline with Nicky, also as her condition was starting to go down and she clearly was not happy then the decision had to be made to prevent any further suffering. Like her sister she went peacefully in my arms this morning.
