Mama has been having leaky eyes all morning. Poor Zuzu was helped along to the Rainbow Bridge early this morning.
ZUZU JUL 2008 - 15JUL 2009
Zuzu put up a good fight, but there was just too much brain damage. Zuzu had what is called Polioencephalomalacia (also known as Cerebrocortical Necrosis). It is fairly common in cattle, sheep & goats. You can do everything right in raising one of these animals & they still have a risk of catching this disease. Zuzu had been staying fairly stable with the treatments until late last night, then she went downhill very fast and was going into small comas early this morning. So her owners knew it was time to help her be pain free.Her sissy Janie has been pretty lonely. Janie & Zuzu's mother deer gave birth to twin girls again this past June. The girls are still available to go to a new home. Mama & Papa's friends kept trying to convince them to get the girls, but no go. (although Mama would have taken them, hehehehe!) So guess where they will be going? Yep, to live with Janie. They will probably come to their new home the weekend of the 25th. After we get some pictures of the girls we'll post & reveal their names.
After hearing the sad news this morning, poor Snickers had 2 seizures starting at 12:15. Just what Mama didn't need today. Although we don't want Snickers to have anymore seizures, we're not worried yet, since the new medication has not been in her system long enough to be built up yet. So she could still get more seizures. Once the vet does tests to know that the drug is built up enough, then we'll start tracking seizures & the patterns to see if the new drug is a strong enough dosage for Snickers.
We can harldy believe that Snickers will turn 7 years old next week. Since Gussie came here to help nurse Snickers, he brought her birthday prezzie early. Mama has some pictures, so we'll post those tomorrow. It is a very very yummy prezzie. And how do I Butchy know this?? Well, Snickers shared with us, hehehehe!
Wirey Hugs,
Butchy, Snickers, Ruby, Sylvester & Scuby

Oh no, that is such sad news about Zuzu. We hope Janie is happier with the company of the new twins.
Snickers, hopefully when the new med is in your system the horrid seizures will go for good. We have our paws crossed that the dosage is right.

Hi, everyone -
Oh nooooooooo! Poor Zuzu - we didn't know that she was sick. We are sending paw hugs to you all.
We are sorry we haven't stopped by lately. Kaci was with me (Hershey) for two weeks and she went home with Grammy on Monday.
We are also sending well wishes to Snickers - she has had way too much of a rough time.
Love -

We're sorry to learn about Zuzu.
And Snickers seizures. We sure hope the medication will work soon.
I am sorry to hear this. Zuzu was a beautiful girl. It's had that she' gone.
Smoochies,
Solid Gold Momma
I am so sorry that Zuzu had to go to the Rainbow Bridge. I hope that Janie's new company will cheer her up. I hope and pray that Snickers' medicine will kick in soon and send that evil Seizure Monster packing.
We're sad to hear about Zuzu, but comforted to know she is at the Bridge. We can imagine her in the grassy fields.
We're so hoping that Snicker's new medicine will start to build up its effectiveness, and that soon the seizures will come much less often, if not become a thing of the past. We so want her to be done with this misery and discomfort.
How are the baby koi?
Enjoy your weekend,
Jake and Miss Fergi

Goodbye, Zuzu. I hope you meet up with Bambi and all our friends over the bridge. Sweet Snickers, I'm hoping too that once your new meds kick in, your seizures will disappear forever.
Hugs for your Mama. Hope you and Butchy are giving her lots of lickies and love.
