Gatsbi warmed up to normal temps, and her glucose remained high, but she was still having seizures and panting and not doing well at all. The V-E-T was afraid that she would go into cardiac arrest, so we made the decision that it was time she crossed over.
Gatsbi had a difficult life because she had a cerebral disorder from birth. She couldn't jump onto things, and she had no stopping skills when she would go running. She couldn't groom herself. But she ate very well! She lived a little over 11 years on earth. We hope that she finds a sunny spot to lie in at The Bridge. We know that she has been met by many many poodins who have gone before.
Luf and purrs to Gatsbi from all of us.

Sorry we just caught up in the wrong order, we left a comment for the post about her being poorly and didn't see this post first.
We were so sorry to hear that Gatsbi has gone to Rainbow Bridge but are pleased you decided to help her on the journey. It is always a hard decision to make but it was the kindest one as she will be able to do all the things that she couldn't in life. She will be watching over you all with love.
