At a loss...

[jknudson]

I know you had such high hopes and plans for that little girl. I'm so sorry Jason.

Thank you Christie! I really appreciate it.

That sucks bro! ... I know how excited you were about that whole group. ... it happens, not your fault at all.

Its too bad that living things that we cherish at some point succumb to death, she had big plans ahead of her. I was going to call you this morning, to see if you'd have insight...but I just couldn't deal with it at the time. *sigh*

It means a lot to me bro. (NH)

Jason sorry for your loss

Thanks Joe.

Just remember jason, with every ending, there is always a new beginning. sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm not sure where this new beginning is, hopefully in the form of good karma come egg time... lets hope so!

Sorry to hear that Jason, It happens and it's never fun. I just lost one a couple of days ago too. She was fine last week, then I found her dead on Friday. Anyone who keeps a lot of animals is going to have unexplained losses from time to time. BTW, the dark discoloration is probably the gall bladder, that seems to decompose rather quickly and I've often seen it on animals that have been dead for more then a few hours. But if thats the case, it's probably not the cause of death, just a natural byproduct of decomposition.

Mark, thank you for the insight, and I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I checked in on her, and actually held her saturday around 6pm and all seemed well.

I found her this morning at around 9am so I'm not sure if the decomposition would set in that quickly, but I check the anatomy via VPI book, and the dark area was in the gall bladder region so I think you may be right on. Hopefully she's not too for decomposed for a successful necropsy.

Thank you again everyone
