Poor Punkin, the little rescue with the Demodex mites died this afternoon about 1:40 PM. We have had him under a vetscare ever since we got him, but were not able to save him. Punkin had almost stopped eating and was loseing weight. Mary started carrying him during the day and hand feeding him to be sure he ate. This morning we gave him some fresh BML and he ate and drank a lot of water. Then he did not want to go into his pouch. We figured it was because he had gotten used to being carried during the day so Mary put him under her shirt. She got him out and fed him a little at about 10:30 and gave him some water. Then at about 1:30 she took him out to see if he would eat. He refused to eat and she offered him some water. He started stretching his front legs out and we knew what was happening. In just a few minutes he died in my hands. I took him to the vet and they are going to do a necropsy. Maybe the results will save another glider. Mary is taking it pretty hard. Hurts us both to lose one. This is the first rescue that we have tried to help that did not make it. We had really grown to love little Punkin and hoped so much that he would make it. Charlie H

I'm so sorry Mary and Charlie. No one could have given this little boy more love or a better chance at life.
Our thoughts are with you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />

I can hardly see through the tears - our phone conversation only makes me yearn to say it again - remember Ranibow Bridge! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/gliderangel.gif" alt="" /> I truly believe in it - I have to - it keeps me sane in these times. Punkin will leave a legacy - I'm sure of it - be proud of that. May your hearts heal quickly - the wee one wouldn't want it any other way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />

Oh Mary and Charlie, I'm soooo sorry to hear this. You guys were doing EVERYTHING you could to save him, and even though the mites weren't gone he seemed to be doing sooo much better <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crying.gif" alt="" />
I know how hard this must be and I know how you guys hate to see them go but atleast he's not having to deal with those awful, horrible mites <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tantrum.gif" alt="" /> anymore.
I'll give you a call later tonight.

Mary and Charlie:
I am so sorry to hear about Punkin. You did so much for him in the short time that you had him. He will be waiting for you until the day y'all meet again. Y'all were his 'knights in shining armor' and I know he knew that. At least he was able to pass on knowing that he was loved so much.
Aesop and Valor send lots of suggie hugs and kisses your way. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/heartpump.gif" alt="" />
