Rest in peace sweet Leah

Last night Leah died a sad, unecessary death. She had complications after a sterilisation and had to be operated again. Her organs had adhered to eachother and there was a 50% chance of it reocurring. However she was getting on very well, eating, drinking and even playing abit. Then 4 days post.op. her wound reopened and there was nothing we could do...

Sometimes it`s all you can do not to blame yourself or the people around you. Everyone tries so hard and still it`s pointless. Leah was sterilised due to pregnancy before she came to us, which is what we do. It is season for pregnant females it seems. She came into fostering and the poor girls were distraught she didnt urinate for 4 days. Vet did ultrasound and thought maybe her urinary tract was ligated, her bladder was so full. They reopened her and found her bladder attached to her intestines and everything attached to everything else. Post.op she was doing so well and now this. Don`t ask me how, don`t ask me why. Vet did an autopsy and everything looked to be going well... The soft, poor baby was obviously not meant for this world. Rest in peace sweet Leah.. I`m so deeply sorry we failed you...
