So To start like all knows we inherited a pair, mom and son 3 weeks ago. After quite some time of up and down with weight gain/loss our little buddy started to put on grams. All had been going great the last 2 weeks, Elise was turning out to be a great mom. Well today after work I get a call from Venessa, franticly telling me lucky was bleeding(boy kit). So naturally I get into protective freak out mode, Venessa starts to narrow down the cause, as lucky move she catches sight of a lot more blood from the rear end. Then she notices a protrusion. I get about half way home when Venessa has me stop and meet her and rush Lucky to our Chin vet. Upon being examined he has "the worst" happen, rectal prolapse. To spare details with this being devastating, the vet pulls us aside and even though we got there very shortly after it happened, almost all of his digestive tract and stomach prolapsed. In taking the vets recommendation and weighing all options we had to make the call for euthanasia. As much as we love Jim, suffering was not an option. Had it not been such a sevear case they wold have done surgery. To say the least we are both heart broken. Never did both Venessa and I realize how much our chins mean to us. Truly Lucky will be missed. Please keep Elise(mama chin) in your thoughts as this is gonna be hard for her and us. Not the news I wanted to share. Give each of your chins an extra scratch and love, this showed us how fragile life can be. Love your animals and others, life is to short for some. R.I.P Lucky, you are missed and loved.
