Today is a sad day for us.
Today we have lost Kid…
Kid was found in a terrible condition, a traffic accident, he was left on the side of the road for days.
Knowing him as I do know I’m pretty sure he remained there, in silent, looking at people passing without making a noise for fear of disturbed them. That’s how kind was Kid.
The moment we were told there was a dog laying in that condition we rushed to the site, we picked him up and went straight to our vet.
A couple of days later the best surgeon in Istanbul operated him and saved his leg.
Kid then went to a foster home to recover. During those days he had the best time of his life, he made friends, he received love. He never knew this but during those days he was adopted by a most beautiful family in the UK. A young girl was waiting for him, the kids in the village were excited to meet him. Kid was a star, and he would have lived as one.
Alas, it couldn’t be..
Kid died today due to complications caused by a tick-born disease called Erlichiosis.
The incubation period is 7 to 14 days and I regret to say, we failed to diagnose the disease at an early order xanax 2mg stage. Blood tests were made but somehow the disease escaped detection until it was too late.
Kid was euthanized this morning. He started having seizures and we knew there was nothing we could to at that stage. He died in the loving arms of Gorkem, one of our vets, a man so soft and kind that sometimes I wonder if he has chosen the right profession. In a sector where most professionals are hardened to the point of callousness, Gorkem is a shinning beacon of hope for the animals out there.
Kid will be buried tomorrow afternoon in one of the most beautiful spots in Istanbul, a place where his body will be able to rest forever in the company of our beloved friends that left us.
He will be buried next to Maximilian and Dr. Doom, and truly cannot think of a better place for him to rest for eternity. Right now, if I could choose a place to rest forever, that’s where I would love it to be.
Rest in Peace Kid. You were loved.
P.S. This blog doesn’t usually allow comments, but Kid had many friends, so today we will make an exception. Feel free to leave Kid a note here.
We loved you, kid, like we do all of them, but you were special. We tried as hard as we could, but some souls are just too good for this place. Rest, my little gentle eyed friend.
