We’re still in shock about it. Two weeks ago she began losing mobility in her back legs, so we took her to the vet. They weren’t sure exactly what it was (believed neurological issue) so they treated her for everything. Antibiotics for infection, Panacur for EC, and pain medication to keep her comfortable. She seemed to be making an improvement (eating, drinking, even trying to move) until last night. In the midst of Hurricane Milton, she became increasingly lethargic. It seemed that she couldn’t see nor hold herself up, let alone eat or drink. We couldn’t get her to a vet as everything was closed for the storm, so we stayed up all night with her trying her favorite treats and stringing water. At 6:45 this morning she began making almost like a squeaking sound and was laying flat with all her limbs out. We were calling vets to see if any was open, but she passed away before we could find one to see her. Has anyone ever had something like this happen before? I feel like I failed her and I want answered as to what happened. She never showed signs of head tilt, so I don’t know if it’s possible she had EC.
Odie (Odette) was our fighter. She battled an ear infection and UTI in under a year, but never lost her spirit. Even once her mobility began to go, she would push herself just to reach me for treats. We often called her our tiny dancer (yes because of the song) because of how delicate and petite she was. Only 2lbs not a gram bigger, she had more fire in her than any other. My little Odie, you will be carried in our hearts until the day we can meet again. Binky free my tiny dancer, and eat all the banana your strong little heart desires. 💜
