She's gone. At least the last human interaction she had was a loving one. Very sad.

I'm so sorry

Hugs for doing a good thing and making her comfortable at the end.

I am very sorry this landed on you to handle. Do not beat yourself up with the what ifs and maybes. It is not something you or anyone else could change.
My heart goes out to you.

Thanks everyone. My best guess is she ate a mouse that had eaten poison. I don't know why that stuff isn't outlawed. I understand not wanting mice but it's not a nice death for them and the chance of poisoning something else is too great.
I feel bad I couldn't do more but she may have been too far gone even if a vet had been involved. At least she died in peace and safety.

@Suzi18 My kind of girl! Cake for breakfast! I figure you have all day to burn it off. Better then cake before bed.

I have a nose for mushrooms. I joke I could be a truffle hunter. I was watering plants one day and smelled mushrooms. No one believed me. You couldn't see the dirt or hardly to pot itself the plant was so big. That water hit and I said there were mushrooms growing in it. 10 min of parting leaves and looking...yup mushrooms!

Oddly I like them as decoration. I should have lived in the 70's. LOL

You would be great as a character in the Mario games.

I can't stand coffee. I tried it once to stay warm, I decided I'd rather freeze.

I hear you on that one. My husband loves the stuff
I am a tea drinker all the way!

Tea drinkers UNITE! I love my tea. I drink it all the time. Even right before bed. I've gotten used to drinking it unsweetened. Caffeine and no calories. SCORE! And NO I can't have artificial sweeteners, they give me migraines and stevia is nasty. I prefer it unsweetened anymore anyway.

I hate coffee. It stinks, it tastes nasty. The only "coffee flavored" thing I like is Kahlua and only in hot chocolate.

Here, here!!! I didn't get into tea at all until college. Then I needed a caffeine boost but couldn't stand coffee. Now I am a total tea snob lol. Love they stuff, all kinds! There is a really nice tea store in my town, but hubby and I usually order off their website rather than going in person (the shipping is free if you are on their mailing list). In person visits are dangerous. Very very bad for my wallet

Flyingnun, I don't know if you're still awake, but have you tried just holding her and letting her soak up you're heat along with the heating pad on low?

She passed a little while ago. But thank you for the suggestion.

@FlyingNunFarm If you have dry rice, corn, lentils etc you can fill a sock, tie it off, then put it in the microwave to heat it up. It will act like a heating pad (but hopefully without the danger of overheating her like with an electrical one). Only idea I could think of. Hope it helps. You are wonderful and kind for helping the poor little thing.

We are chicken people do you have a heat lamp
