I am extremely sad to say that Piewackett passed away early this morning. She would seem fine in the daytime, it was the night where she would fall into resp. distress- start to open mouth breathe and have problems despite all the vaporizers, heaters and heating beds at her disposal. Her nostrils were so tiny- I suspect genetically she was fighting something other than a bacterial infection in her lungs. Now, she is on the lap of God. I try to tell myself that this isn’t my fault- but I feel like I failed her and didn’t get to her in time- Here is her short life in the only photos we took of her:
OMG that is so sad, I am so sorry to hear this. She is such a sweet little thing. I just can’t even, no Mary Anne you did nothing wrong, you gave her love and a stuffed toy to cuddle with.
What a little darling. You did all you could, and unless you were able to reverse genetics, you could not have done more. Godspeed, Piewackett.
So sorry, Mary Anne. She was such a beautiful baby! You gave her love and warmth and comfort – bless you for that, and for mourning her now.
I’m so sorry. I’m sure you are right – it was something genetic – but it’s still so sad and it’s hard for caring humans like yourself to not blame yourselves, even though you did absolutely everything you could. Purrs to you.
