    Default Rest in peace Cihuatl

    I've done everything I could to get the little guy well, but unfortunately he was really weak and extremely skinny. For the people who don't know yet, I've bought him about 2 months ago.
    He never ate well, so I had a fecal done, he was then diagnosed with worms and treated and was doing better since. I even got him to eat every 2 days, I honestly din'd see it coming untill yesterday, I found him squirming around on his back, I quickly repositioned him and he seemed ok. I did have a bad feeling about it and today, it seems my gut was right.

    It might be a little mean to say, but I'm actually relieved. He din'd act right at all, always a struggle to get him to eat and now, his suffering is finally over.

    I'm sorry for your loss. There must have been something internal that went unseen. WC cornuta that appear healthy also can suddenly perish for what seems like no reason, but unfortunately it is common. You did what you could. He's at peace now.

    Thanks guys. I've actually phoned the store and since it's been a while, they can't offer me a replacement, but, they did state, because I kept them up to date about him being sick and having alot of problems, they are willing to offer me a cranwelli as a substitute. (They only get Cornutas once every blue moon) I've owned him two months and honestly, I think it's a nice gesture of them. So I will be going to look in an hour and might bring home a new addition.

    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
