I should have waited longer to force feed her again i think. I feel sad and terrible like i failed her.
honestly I don't think you really did anything wrong. IDK what age they become adults exactly but their lifespan is 15 years optimal condition but obviously that's an approxmation. Maybe it was just her time, natural sickness that came from old age. also force feeding sounded like the right step and not extremely stressful. Again, sorry for your loss.
