Shnerfshnerf

Shnerf passed away Sunday night. The necropsy showed that he died of a lung lobe torsion. Sorry, unsure of that spelling. In other words the lung got twisted , then collapsed, which compromised his breathing.<BR>He had gotten into a spat with Maria Saturday night over a treat and apparently injured himself in the process. Perhaps by twisting around too quickly or by falling though I never witnessed a fall. The excersion of going from his pouch to my pocket Sunday night caused him to be unable to breathe. He died in my hand ten minutes later.<BR>The vet said that the condition was very rare and that there is nothing to do to prevent it or treat it once it happens. <BR>As it is such a rare condition there is no reason for anyone to worry about it happening to their glider. It was just one of those things.<BR>Marvin
