Peku

Peku 6-7 weeks old :'( on Jan. 23, 2009

She only just arrived on Sunday with her cagemate Tepeu. They were both little tilty baby girls with inner ear infections that PJ’s Pet Express didn’t treat. I would guess they were thrown into the back room to get better. Luckily for these little girls one of the employees dropped them off to their store vet to be pts instead of some other much worse fate. Because they had headtilt no one would buy them. :undecided: The kind vet took one look and decided to try to treat them and find them a pet home. She even called wonderful moon and offered the baby girls to her. Moon [i]knowingly [/i]posted about them on the forum and I [i]had [/i]to take them in. :roll:
Moon brought them to me on Sunday around noon and I fell in love with these spunky little girls. :heart:
For 3 days little Peku ran and played, and one heartbreakingly tender time she let me stroke her into bruxxing and then sleep. Then something changed. She got lethargic and started acting very sick. I tried something that seemed to work for a day, but then tonight I came home to a baby girl who cried when you touched her. I gave her a big dose of metacam to make her more comfortable and spent the night on the couch with her, sometimes she wanted to be alone and other times near me. She was happiest when she was lying on me though. Then she started having seizures and soon passed. :sad3:

I am so angry, so sad, so torn up inside. This wonderful little girl had NO chance at a real life, a life she sooo deserved. Yes, she and I were lucky to find each other for those few days but IT’S JUST NOT FAIR that this shining little soul just flashed bright for one moment and was gone!

Peku was 121 grams when she arrived

My vet had been away and was returning on Saturday, my plan was being in his waiting room first thing in the morning. Peku left us on Friday night :(

Please come back soon little one.
