She went in a few days ago because she was suddenly a bit lethargic and not eating well....temp was a bit up, blood count a bit off, so vet gave her antibiotics....they had her back the next day, worse, she had eaten and thrown it back up again and was just not her usual all over the place wiggly self...
The vet wanted to keep her there and observe for the day, do x-rays and see what was going on....nephew wondered if she could have eaten something...possibility to look into....but before they could even do anything, she took a sudden turn for the worse, again, so the vet opted to do an emergency surgery right then....
From the way my brother described it to me, the vet said her intestine had grown back on itself, stuck together and had become severely infected and had ruptured inside, and she died during surgery....
He said it is a rare thing to see, and it is fast and hard to detect...
I guess this would be likened to a ruptured appendix in humans as far as how fast it happened?
Regardless....Cleo can run free from any pain she may have felt near the end of her short (less than a year) life....
And also prayers for Tut...her left behind brother, I am sure he is totally lost since they were inseparable....and my nephew and fiancee, who are getting married February 29...I am sure they had plans for Cleo and Tut to be a part of the wedding...
