Sad day...

Well...I recently posted a message entitled Fat-Tail Miracle...and it was a miracle...but then the little guy took a turn for the worst. I'm taking him to the vet today to get euthanized...there's nothing that I can do at this point. He's all shriveled up and skinny...he won't open his eyes...and his tail is all bone. I'm quite upset but I know that taking him to the vet will be the best thing for both of us.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's never a good feeling having to put any animal down, especially after you were so hopeful. You can take pride in knowing that you are doing the right thing for him. Sometimes nature just sucks. We're all here for you during your loss. Hope everything goes well for you.
