This year I've lost way too many pets
First was Zoey, who got run over. She died in our arms when she was barely a year old. She was the most energetic and loving dog that I've ever known
Then in the same week Shotzi got killed by a brown recluse spider. She was over 12 years old and was a great dog that we enjoyed our time with for many years
While I was on vacation in South Carolina for my birthday my dad found Henrietta dead in her tub. I don't know what happened to her but I only had her for less than a month, and none of the other reptiles in QT were affected. We didn't get a necropsy done because we couldn't afford it and the breeder wasn't offering anything but a discount on another snake. Even though I only had her for a short time, she had quickly become my favorite snake, and I really miss her
Then one of my leopard geckos died from Crypto, and we had to get his mate euthanized. The baby they had together was born premature and wouldn't eat. I'm keeping his other mates under very strict QT. One has lost ten grams, but she seems to be recovering as she has gained back 5, the other I'm getting tested because she shows no symptoms and was only with the male for a day, and that was before he was with the others
