Guest shelbud Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Many thanks to those that responded when we thought Gustav might have either Cushings or Addisons. As it turns out, it was Cushings. However, suddenly, without any warning, he collapsed yesterday. His breathing became labored and he vomited up his dinner from the previous day. It was really obvious that he was in distress and getting worse. Thus, we made the painful decision to put him down. He was just shy of his 13th birthday. He was a real champion and loved life. I was fortunate to have him with me for almost 9 years. He will be sorely missed. Sheldon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
