Name: Fudge
Sex: Female
Bred: No
Purchased from: P@H
Born: April 2012
Death: 26th September 2013
Age: 17 Months
Cause: PTS due to suspected Kidney Failure
Symptoms: Her breathing become really fast and heavy, she was gulping a lot and was just sitting on me not moving. I took her to the vets 23rd September where it was suspected either Kidney Infection or Kidney Failure. I had a choice, PTS or try 5 days of antibiotics. I chose to try medication and was told if she deteriorated to take her back. She stopped washing, stopped coming out of her nest except to pee and when I gave her meds, stopped eating (between Monday and Thursday she managed a couple of mouthfuls of baby food and not even half of a selective science pellet.) and was losing weight fast. I tried to syringe feed her but she refused it, really fought the syringe off. I took her back to the vets 26th because of all of that and her breathing not improving at all. The vet said it would be kindest to pts so I made the difficult decision to have her helped to the bridge.
