my mali uro turtle has pased. he had pneumonia and could not be saved. we have been having problems with our heater. it keeps breaking. the first time it broke it was in the middle of the night and it was reallly really cold when i woke up. it useally stays really warm in the lizard room so i always turned off the lights and the only heat source they had was the heat in the house. im almost positive that this is why he got sick. after that i put a little electric heater in the room that turns on if it gets below 70 degrees. good thing i did because the heater broke about 3 times after the first time. i feel like such a bad mom because i thought he could be saved so i did not alow him to be put down. i should have because he suffered for a few days before he died. i just could not let him go. good bye turtle i love you. and im sorry.

you gave turtle a good life and there is nothing wrong with thinking you could have helped his pneumonia. i probably would have done the same thing. i am very sorry for your loss. it always sad when a little friend passes away

The decision between fighting and putting them out of their pain is a really hard one. We just went through it with our dog. You gave him a chance, and a lot of love, there is nothing else you can do!

You are in my thoughts and prayers.
