Today is day 5.
Crustina has been in a steady decline since late on her 2nd day, losing 40+gms a day in addition to the weight lost from the mange crust and her quills. I have been syringe feeding her since day 3 and she was accepting the feeds and fluid ok until this morning. On day 3 - Monday, I sent a poo sample up to Narelle for analysis and yesterday she called to let me know that the slides showed a MASSIVE Coccidia and Capillaria burden as well as some Lungworm.
Then this morning little Crustina refused all attempts to feed her and by 3 pm it was obvious she had given up the fight, poor wee thing. With a heavy heart I took her straight in to the vet to be put to sleep.
Goodbye Crustina - May you be carried on your journey over the Rainbow Bridge on strong legs and with joy in your heart.
