Definitely lol UPDATE! UPDATE!

Bowser is doing good. He has started eating crix every day on his own. Some days he eats 1 and some days 7, but he is getting better. I will try to get some pix up soon!

I wanted to let you all know that Bowser had to be put to sleep the weekend before Thanksgiving. He had lost 30% of what little body weight he had and his tail had starting getting necrotic from the lack of blood flow. Dr. Schrock said that I had done everything possible and that he was probably too far gone when I got him.

I tried so hard to save him but I just couldn't. I wanted him to get better and get big and fat but he didn't.

 

[Jess]

I'm so sorry

 

[sheri85]

you did the best you could for him. he knew what a loving home was thanks to you.

 

[SamusTheDragon]

I'm sorry . At least Bowser died knowing someone loved him. You did an amazing job caring for him and I'm sure he's grateful for everything you gave him.

 

[Esther19]

I'm so sorry, dear. I agree with the previous posters. Bowser was to fortunate to be loved and cared for by you.

Ashley, I'm so sorry to hear about Bowser. You rescuing him was a great thing and you gave him many months of great care as well as lots of TLC. There isn't anything more that you could have done. He is now totally well and running around with all the very special beardies at Rainbow Bridge.

I really thought Bowser would make it he didnt seem as far gone as Rocky was atleast he got a chance to expirence having a real owner that loved him

 

[Sashee]

Thank you all for your kind words. I knew something was wrong when his tail started getting brittle and just LOOKED dead, and the vet confirmed my suspisions. I hadn't realized he'd lost so much weight, either. Maybe I should have continued force-feeding him even though he was eating the crix. Idk. i still feel like there was more I should have or could have done.

 

[AchiKat]

I'm so sorry hun! T.T At least he got lots of love before he went. /hug

I am so sorry for your loss. I read through your entire story while at work, and think what you did was very brave and heroic of you. I am sorry you had to lose him, so quickly after losing your little Yoshi too

At least the last leg of Bowsers life, was significantly better than his other abusive situation.
Take care.

I'm sorry about Bowser. I wish I'd seen this sooner. I am glad you had the chance to take care of him, even tho he was too far gone to last very long.

I just read this entire thread and I'm sitting here crying! I can only
imagine how you feel! You did a wonderful thing to rescue Bowser
from the horrible life he was living. You gave him good help and
tried so hard to save him, and most of all you let him know someone
loved him!
