Sad news...

peachstategeckos May 02, 2005 08:13 PM

I went in to check on her and she has passed on. It was a rather quick decline and I don't think I would've been able to get her a vet appointment anyway. She ate this morning and pooped and then this afternoon she passed, I guess she hid her pain and suffering as much as she could. Thanks to everyone who helped me, I got so attached to her I'll probably end up getting me another beardie(a healthy one!). I'm not beating myself up over this, I was kinda expecting it just not sure when.

I'm sorry she didn't make it,I know you did your best Be at peace in the fact that in her last days she was loved and cared for.You will make a wonderful beardie owner but be warned,you will get addicted,one is never enough.I'm lucky that I can go play with my aunts 30 dragons whenever, so I don't have to get more then one.

I'm so sorry! I know what it feels like to lose a very beloved pet. =(

Wasn't expecting to hear such sucky news so soon. There was really nothing you could do....and those people shouldn't be allowed to have animals again! I went through something similar with a beardie I took in....I know what you're going through. But, it gets better and I wish you all the luck in the future with a fat, healthy dragon.
(P.S.-Nice leos! )

I wasn't expecting such sucky news this soon either..lol. I know I tried to give her a better life and all so I'm not devestated just sad that she had to go through all that pain for so long. I'm not sure if I'll keep focusing on leos or get another beardie...I'm still deciding, after all I am on a tight budget.

Katie,
I am sorry to hear it. She was probably too far gone when you first got her and there was not much more that you could have done. At least her final weeks were with someone who cared.
