Clyde

This little boy was dumped off at a pet store, & rescued by someone else. He had multiple problems, and was very ill. The new owners knew Clyde needed an experienced caregiver 24-7, so they made the difficult decision to surrender him to Cathy for lifetime care. Clyde has improved greatly, but may still require surgery at some point.

Clyde had health issues off & on--helicobacter--adrenal gland disease--a huge spleen, etc. He has been slowing down. Yesterday, he couldn`t urinate. The Xray showed stones in the bladder, and a MASSIVE spleen--bigger than we thought. The urine showed crystals. There was billirubin trouble---(liver) After $248 of diagnostics,including a PCV test, we realized he just had too many things going on in his little body. The vet said he didn`t believe surgery would be kind, or curative. Clyde was in pretty rough shape.He left this world at 12:30 today. I was with him, until the end.

I will miss his sweet face.

Love, Zoo
