Sweet Snowbie has crossed the Rainbow Bridge
Just wanted to let everyone know that our sweet Snowbie (government name: Snow White) crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday.
She had fallen off our 3rd story balcony a few weeks ago, and through xrays the vet determined she had fractured her tibia and dislocated part of her tail.
During a follow up visit, the vet was concerned because she had lost weight and determined to have a heart murmur.
When I called about getting terramycin for her eyes, I mentioned she wasn't eating. Vet wanted her back in.
At that visit, the vet thought she might have either pancreatitis or liver failure, because she was jaundiced. She wanted her hospitalized that day.
After looking at the treatment plan, the cost would have been upwards of $10k, and at 14 years old, no quality of life could be determined.
She went downhill so fast--like, overnight. She developed an upper respiratory infection and was dehydrated from not eating or drinking. The vet gave her fluids, pain meds and an antibiotic to get her through the night. The next day, we sent her to the Rainbow Bridge. She's now once again with her brother from another mother, Stud.
