So sad to announce the passing of Khira von der Leidenschaft yesterday at their vet clinic. Khira was diagnosed with an acute form of Lyme disease. Here is what Alyssa sent to our group chat just now.
"Good morning. Some of you may of seen or heard that Khira is gone.
She was at flyball Sunday and had been fine up till yesterday when she lost use of her back end. I immediately rushed her in and they did blood work and she tested positive for Lyme disease. It was an acute case, there was nothing I could do to save her. It was already attacking her kidneys and red blood cells.
Despite the preventative measures and checkups she never showed any symptoms. She was a happy alert girl right up till the end. I am completely destroyed. But it would have been selfish of me to not let her go. She was only going to get worse and I didn’t want her to suffer. I was there with her, and wish it had been me instead💔. Hug all your babies tight."
Ironically, her ultrasound results for her one and only O-litter showed up in my memories just now as well. Rest easy sweet girl. Your pack awaits you at The Bridge. 💔🌈💜🖤💜
