My last post

Im sure you know what that means... Unfortunately Kabuki took a turn for the worse and passed away today. I got a call at work around 1pm from my regular vet asking me to rush over and pick him up to take him to the emergency room. She wasn't happy with how he looked and she felt they could better treat him. I left work right away and picked him up for the drive to Cordelia to the emergency vet. The had a poor prognosis for him, and he became "iptic" I don't know if that is the correct spelling, but basically, he wasn't responding and was going to need plasma and a lot of intensive care. The e-vet said his chances weren't great, but if we wanted to, they would have kept trying, but even with this treatment we had to understand he wasnt out of the woods. We decided to let him go peacefully, which was a very difficult choice, but I just didn't feel comfortable with such an aggressive treatment while he was so poor off already, but other treatments weren't working. It was also a very aggressive treatment for him to have, then still runt he full risk he may not make it. I felt, and still feel awful about having to make that decision. Up until we went into the back room at the vet, I had still never even pet Kabuki. I cant even describe what an effect this tiny, weak little puppy I had never touched, had on my life. He deserved so much better than this, and it if hadn't been for human greed, he never would have ended up here. We pick up his remains in 2 weeks, and he will come home with us. Sadly, it will probably be the first time he will ever have been in a loving home, and he wont even get to enjoy it. I cant thank all of you enough who have supported me since I picked him up last week, and I hope you all understand my decision. He was dearly loved by so many volunteers, and myself in his short little life, and I will never forget him.
