Lucy RIP
Our beloved Lucy was euthanized on December 31st after a valiant battle with a neurological disorder that caused progressive wobbliness and loss of balance.
Lucy had been rescued by Karalee and Wendy in January 2008 after having been dumped outside. She was very thin and pregnant. A few weeks after her rescue, Lucy delivered seven healthy babies but it soon became obvious that she had some kind of neurological issue. Lucy, of course, chose not to let that get her down. Her sweet nature won the heart and home of Sara. Thankfully, the last months of her life were happy ones.
Although the complete necropsy report is not back yet, her cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls movement) was described as "mush." The likely culprit is e cunniculi.
Our sincere condolences go to Sara.
