Darling Milu - 2006 to 13 July 2023

We said goodbye to Milu today. As some of you know she had thyroid issues for nearly four years and in the end no amount of adjusting her medication seemed to work. For the past couple of weeks she had hardly eaten even though we tried to entice here with all sorts of treats. At the end she weighed only 1.9 kilos.

 

She was sleeping most of the time and her quality of life was no longer there. She was becoming weaker by the day so we made the painful decision to say goodbye. When I got in the exam room she decided to jump up on the window sill and check out the garden. I hadn't got my phone so the vet kindly took this photo of her looking at me. I stayed with her until the end and stroked her until she went to sleep - it was all very peaceful.
