I am so sad and mad for our sweet Everest. These extreme emaciation cases are so fragile. Everest has been at the vet since the day he was rescued, 9 days ago. He’s had ups and downs but overall was not declining. Until today we got a call around 4 pm that he was down and unable to get up. His pupils were dilated and it was like he lost function of his front legs. Our incredible vet team has been working the last few hours pushing meds / steroids to try help him get the strength to stand. He made no progress and was thrashing and hurting himself. It was unfair to keep him here any longer as he was exhausted from trying. These cases make it hard not to feel anger or bitterness towards whoever let him get to this state. Just hauling him from one sale to the other.. in this condition. It’s unreal. With angry Tears in my eyes I feel like we failed him even though I know he was failed long ago. I’m so sorry Everest. If love could save you you’d still be here. The losses never get easier. 😔💔
