oh damn. I'm sorry.... (personally I've never experienced it,(eclipse the beta fish doesn't count....sorry buddy.) but it does make me sad to hear about. It seems like you're alright, though, so that's good. If you need anything though, I'm here to talk.

[TW: animal death] Weird day. How can something be perfectly normal one day and dead the next? No external symptoms this time either, just lethargy. And a slow decline. From eating and moving to not and then dead in our arms. At least with Nebula there was something obviously wrong. With Mäyrä there was nothing, aside from less interest in leaving the cage the last few months. She wasn't old or sick, there was no reason to think we'd lose her soon. And then today she was just like that, and in a few hours it was over.  We did what we could to make her comfortable, gave her painmeds and occasionally water in hopes that she might somehow get better. At least she probably wasn't in a lot of pain. This is the first time we've had a rat pass away peacefully at home. It's happened with guinea pigs and a rabbit, but with rats it usually comes down to a vet visit. (Nebula was an exception but we tried to take her to the vet too, she just didn't last the car ride there.) I'm ok. I've been through a lot of pet death and know how to deal with it, just needed a place to sort my thoughts. (I’m going to get a good grade in grieving, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve.)

thank you!!!

Can you show me a picture of a foxcat if you have any pictures?
