Me too, it's horrible thinking of them suffering:-( I have my little ICU duckling kit ready to go as soon as they arrive. I have an adapter so that I can run a heating pad in my truck. I'll make sure that they get warm and hydrated as soon as possible.
Thanks Finny, All of my life I have had a weakness for the most pitiful animals and have had lots of practice nursing them back to health. Some lived, some didn't but it was never for a lack of effort
Because of this I am no longer allowed to go to the animal shelters, pet stores, feed stores etc...unattended
I know exactly what you mean...I came home with a Chihuahua that had terrible seizures. She was set to be euthanized that afternoon. When I adopted her they said she only had a few weeks/months to live. We were able to get her seizures under control and she lived comfortably with us for almost 3 years before she had a stroke and passed. When I went to get my chicks Saturday I was only supposed to get 4, I ended up with 8. It's a pattern with me
I recently lost a dog to a stroke. It was the saddest thing
It is hard, sorry for your loss too:-( It is so easy to get attached to animals. A lot of time I like my animals better than most of the people I have to deal with daily. They don't give you any lip and they're so happy with the simplest stuff like a head scratch or little treat, oh and they're exceptional listeners LOL!I am sorry for your lost though
