=( it shouldn't everyone makes mistakes. And you did your best for Hor-Hey. Sometimes life is really unfair, but Hor-heys grateful for all of the love and care you gave him.
you are very welcome. although i dont know what its like to lose a beardie, guido is the only one ive ever had, i know whats its like to be worried sick about my boy, and the stress and guilt i feel when hes feeling under the weather. what happened to you and your baby can happen to anyone at anytime, and not everyone is always gonna be in the right time/place/ situation to do what is needed, to no fault of their own.as i said, im sure hor-hey doesnt blame you at all, and im sure he is wating for you on the other side of the rainbow bridge, completely healthy and happy, waiting to give you more kisses and cuddles than you could imagine. Guidos favorite thing to do is lay on my pillow with me cuddled under a blanket watching movies with me and his daddy. Guido sends his love and lots of little beardie kisses your way.DeZiuM":3sv6nwji said:MandixLeex--thank you so much. I cried reading your message because understanding is very comforting right now. I know my Hor-Hey knew I did everything I could, because even through he pain, when I held him, he still tried to wiggle and give little kisses. His favorite spot was lying on my chest and falling asleep, and he curled up like he was content. I know he was hurting, but it's the little things that convinced me he understood. I'm not sure when I'll get another beardie, but I will definitely have an angel keeping watch.
I had the original Hor-Hey (before I had my son) and he would chomp on full carrots like it was a cricket. Junior was much much smaller so I chopped them. I fear I didn't chop them enough. That guilt is eating me alive.
DeZiuM said:Spookle--I'm so sorry for the loss of Phoenix. The good thing is now you know what to look for if something happens to the baby. That's the only thing I can take from this situation. I read that many dragons pull the prolapse back in, but I know next time don't even chance it. I got in contact with a good vet and even made my boyfriend feel bad that my car is broken down. So, God forbid, if this ever happens to me again, I will be able to get them to the vet as soon as it happens. I hope the baby can help heal the wounds of losing Phoenix. He'll never be replaced, but just like I was told, you now have an angel watching over.[/quote
Before we had Pheonix i didn't have much to do with Yoda, my partners beardie, Pheonix stole my heart and now i am hooked, for a day or so after Pheonix died i did beat myself up about it, i went through the "what if's" and " If only i had done this or that", now i see that without knowing she was poorly in the first place and she was so thin when we got her that she just was not strong enough to deal with the medication and constant care she needed, i have learned so much from Pheonix and the signs to look out for, you done everything in your power to help your baby just like we did but sometimes these things happen, as you say,we have an angel looking over :wink:
