feeling a bit sad-

[mary_j_59]

My little Sevvie died this morning, or late last night. I don't know what of - for a couple of days, he was sulking at the bottom of his bowl and spitting out his food. I tried medicating him, but all I had on hand was fungus guard and bettafix, and, of course, salt. Whatever I did wasn't the right thing.

Poor little guy. I really think he was a bit sick from the time I got him, and there was only one week or so in the two months I had him that he acted like a normal betta (making nests, swimming calmly, eating everything he was given, and so on). I am not as sad as I was when Charlie died, but I still feel bad and sorry about him - most of all because I wish I had known how to help him.

I'm sorry to hear that. It feels quite horrible *wanting* to help and not being able to do much :/. *huggles*

Yes, doesn't it? I am so glad the vet figured out what was happening to your kitty - and they can really be very good about taking their meds when they know they need it, and when it's well-disguised. My sister's second cat needed insulin for awhile, and she would hop onto her lap and wait for the needle. When she began to resist, it turned out she didn't need the insulin any more.
