Memorials / R.I.P Hopper!
« on: March 19, 2013, 10:46:40 AM »
Hi Guy's , I am a new chin owner , and a newbie here. With deep sorrow I have to announce that my 28 day old female kit Hopper passed away yesterday. Earlier I was terribly devastated but now I feel frustrated and confused.
Hopper was my bouncy baby girl, she was gaining weight steadily and her last weight was 137g day before yesterday, she was playing, feeding and hopping around as usual. yesterday afternoon she was snuggling with her brother big head and momma Freckles, but in the evening I noticed she was hiding in a corner I took her out and cuddled with her for few minutes and she was responsive than within a matter of minutes she started getting lethargic and I tried putting her under her momma, it was very cold in NY yesterday and even though the heat is on in my apartment and her cage was covered with a blanket, I thought maybe she was cold since its been snowing and the apartment is still a bit cool regardless of the heat. Before I could do anything else she just laid on her side I tried moving her close to momma, and she coughed up a drop of clear liquid, and just laid on her side , I sat by her constantly rubbing her, and her mother tried nudging her and then she just stopped moving and passed on. I was devastated,she had shown no signs of distress earlier in the day and everything was business and play as usual, I cannot seem to grasp what happened to my little hopper , their cage was clean, covered and stocked, she was playing last night, and today she's gone!
I am a new Chin owner, and I am devastated, I want to know what happened and why her decline was so rapid. Her brother and mother seem fine and and are feeding and hopping around.
