With an extremely heavy heart, we said goodbye to our little Romeo this morning.
Romeo came into foster at two days old with his sister. His foster worked nothing but miracles keeping him alive, tube feeding for over a week to keep him fed while his body and brain caught up.
As he grew, he was always a little slower but so precious, he melted your heart. He tried so hard to be BIG.
When he was about 5 weeks, his "specialness" became more questionable. We tossed some ideas out there but soon his appearance raised a particular one. Could he have hydrocephalus?
Yes, he did. For nearly a month his doting foster has been researching, consulting with experts in the field. We have compounded special Romeo size medicines to help his condition. While only surgery could ever cure him, we hoped to let him grow so we could potentially explore his options.
That future wasn't in the cards for this adorable, loving little man.
Rescue brings more than kittens to your door. These special cases, oddities...we see more than many vets because of the volume of neonates that come through our doors.
This is where your donations go...helping Romeo live his best life, however short.
Thank you to his foster who went above and beyond for this little CowBoy man. We'll never forget you Romeo.
