I've had him for a few years, he was my 's late Brothers before that. He's lived in three states with me, including most recently moving with just me and him multiple states away from everyone.
We live alone, It's just been me and him for the last 6 months. I've been trying to care for his GI stasis since Friday of last week. And he passed Friday 2/6.
I came home from work and he was laying in his cage which he's free roam so that was already weird, but it's like he heard me and could not get up. He was upside down just flailing his little legs. I tried to make it to the vet at the closest is 40 minutes away, he died 15 minutes into the ride on my lap. I had to drive home alone and got home to all this stuff by myself. I really miss my baby.
And he showed major signs of improvement on Thursday and was running around like nothing was wrong. So it was extremely unexpected.
It is currently being preserved at the vet at the moment because I don't know what I want to do. I do want to cremate him but a part of me wants a foot to keep with me, and maybe even his pelt for his markings. Is that weird??
I stayed in bed all day yesterday because I don't want to go into my living room where he would be hopping around to say good morning and shoving himself into the fridge for his morning lettuce, or crowd my feet while I try to get my coffee. He's not under my bed anymore, sticking his little face out waiting for me to get up.
I'm so upset…
