Default Worst day of my life....

I know this should really be in RIP but i felt like sharing with you guys that are always so supportive and understand more than most how it feels to lose a pet. I have been so lucky (touchwood) up till now never to have lost one of my reptiles, but today my luck ran out. and so did poor Forests.

As some may know i posted last week saying she had a little problem with her jaw, she's been very slightly out of sorts since then (you know when somethings not quite right but you cant put your finger on it), but i've tried my best to keep her conditions perfect and leave her alone to recouperate. I didnt want to stress her any more by vet visits and i was assured they wouldnt be able to her her jaw anyway... although now i really wish i had gone. I checked on her last night and she was fine, but this morning i found her in her hide, passed on to rainbow bridge.

She was a beautiful characterful girl, and it makes it all the harder knowing that i will now never see her beautiful babies. The only clutch she layed for me before passing were infertile.

I have called my local(ish) reptile vet and i am hopefully going to get a pm done on her, just incase i can learn anything from this experience and avoid it happening to any of my other geckos. If anything, i'm now going to be more vigilant about taking them to see a vet even when nothing is outwardly wrong, sometimes the vibes we get from them tell us more than we realise until its too late.

RIP my beautiful girl.











Finley will miss you too...

Sarah
