My little buddy passed away early this morning or last night. I can't determine exactly when he actually passed away. I'm still shocked. So unexpected that I'm just blown away.
He was eating baby food on his own last night and he seemed like he was improving. We sat in the sun for awhile yesterday and enjoyed some time together and I'm really glad I had the opportunity to do so. I don't usually cry, but my eyes have been tearing up all day, especially when I look at pictures of him through the years.
I believe the cause was from a rapidly growing tumor on the back of his neck, which caused the mouth rot, or puss in his mouth. The vet never caught the growth because it didn't really look like anything out of the ordinary unless you what he looked like before. I noticed it awhile ago, but someone told me that it didn't look like anything.
His cage is dark right now and it is very strange. I usually sit here while he stares at me through his window, but there is just darkness there now....... Wow, I'm so confused.
