Over the past week little Evelyn has been fighting to regain control of her own body. She has been battling with dehydration, fighting to keep food in her stomach long enough to absorb the needed nutrition.
Last night Evie took a turn for the worse; she tried to breathe through a mouthful of milk formula and aspirated a large amount of it into her lungs. She stopped breathing for around 30 seconds because her lungs were completely flooded with formula.
I stayed up all night with Evie to monitor her condition. When she made it to 6 am I thought the worst crisis was past.
I drove her in to the APA clinic where the staff and the Vet loaded me up with an arsenal of medications and treatments to help coax Evie back to health.
Despite all our best efforts Evie died in her sleep just about an hour ago.
I am extremely sad to lose my little girl, but I know that sometimes there are simply too many things for them to try and overcome.
We'll miss you Evie.
The hardest thing to face is the loss of a loved one, no matter how short or how long they were with us, the hurt is no less painful and the tears no less sorrowful. You have always loved with all your heart and Evie understood that, with every feeding, with every snuggly cuddly smooch and every petting. You're a good 'mom' and I know that many more little fuzzy, snuggly, cuddly bundles of mewing cuteness will get to learn what it's like to be loved and cared for by you.
