The Noble Lord Feverstone - 03/07/18 07:39 AM
Last week, I had to say goodbye to my best suggie friend. Although I haven't been around on this forum much lately, I have really appreciated all the posts and insight. Fevy was my first and only suggie. I learned so much from GC over the years and it was always my go to resource. Plus I got to meet so many great suggies and their owners!
I am very broken hearted still, but my dearest Lord Feverstone was incredibly loved. He made it to his 11th birthday and got to celebrate with a rainbow cake. Unfortunately, he had been declining for several months and started having seizures the last month or two. The vet eventually found a brain mass. Long story short, I came home from work Monday night and found him curled up on the bottom of his cage in a really bad state. So I let his fur siblings say bye to him and took him to the ER where we decided to put him down. The vet staff and his normal vet were so incredibly caring and knowledgeable through it all so that really helped. I am part sad, part relieved that he isn't suffering anymore. The last month or two had been very hard and was mostly a routine of me giving him meds, going to vet all the time, cleaning him up when he'd pee on himself, carrying him around because he was starting to have a lot of trouble climbing and so on with a couple "good" days in between.
His absence definitely left a huge hole in my heart. I rescued him when he was two after he'd been passed around to two homes and one animal shelter where I was volunteering at the time. He was such a brat back then, but I fell in love with him immediately. His life was full of adventures and love with his human and animal friends. It definitely wasn't a secret that Fev was the favorite child. I have been giving his fluffy grey siblings extra love in his absence. It will definitely take us all some time to grieve. Glide free, little Fevy. <3
