You are so right! We had become the new owners of Bonkers, we had him for 4 weeks, if that. The doctor at UC Davis said that it wasn't our fault, that it was the previous owner's. Because they had raised him where the temp was only household temps, cause he was a free roaming pet in the house. And that he suffered dehydration due to short soakings in a bathtub 2 or 3 times a week. This was for his entire life of 4.5 years. This was thru ignorance, not intention. They didn't know that they were blowing it. They loved him. Unfortunatly, they had to give him up, so they found us. Also unfortunatly, we expedited his demise by all of a sudden putting him in a proper environment, where the temp was higher and he had a swimming tank of his own. The raised temps made the kidneys try to work even harder to repair and regulate the body and they just gave out. A lot sooner than if he had stayed in his cooler environment. He won our hearts over so fast, We are so heartbroken over losing him. I cry when I type this. Here is a picture of our lost love.
