This is the little guy I was posting about. I'm very sad to say that he died last night. He developed a stress ulcer from everything that he went through, and it killed him pretty quickly. Just yesterday afternoon it looked as if he'd made a major improvement -he was even trotting around the pasture, wide-eyed at the new world all around him. An hour later he was barely moving. And it just continued downhill from there. Rest in peace, little Donatello.

I'm so sorry he didn't make it. I can't imagine how hard that must be for you guys.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear. I hadn't been on LJ and didn't know he was struggling. So sad. All the joy they bring every day ... this has to be hard to see.

Just thinking about Delilah mourning makes me want to wail. Poor thing. :(

*hugs everyone*
