We lost our little Momma Mae Belle today. I guess she couldn't recover from the surgery. I called the vet back this morning to explain her condition & they said to try to get her up. She wasn't able to even with my help. We lost her a short time later. I sat with her trying to comfort her. She was one of my favorites for sure and knew she was loved. I buried her under a tree not far from our house.
I am very sorry for your loss. I read all this and was hoping the mommy would make it. I know how it feels to lose such a loving one. We just loss one of our young bucks too to hypothermia. It was very hard for us and I'm sure it is even harder for you, having her so long!
My heart goes out to you. I will pray the pain lessens in time. Please do not beat yourself up, we are our own worst critics. Your care and affection communicated itself to her I am certain.
