[Gpdd] HEALTH: Silky is not well

[bwk]

Silky got a very bad health report a while back -- two possible different kinds of
cancer, pre-renal problems, heartbeat too fast, enlarged colon and cecum, and other
things -- and I think it is beginning to catch up now.

While she is still eating, she doesn't seem as active, and she has passed scary
substances for the second night in a row. She is on pain medicine, benebac
(probiotic) and gas medicine to help her with her problems, so I don't think a trip
to the vet will do much -- I just think the dark time is coming.

I mostly lurk these days, so some of you are probably not sure who I am or who she
is. But some of you may remember her from posts a long while back, with her cage mate
Sooty, who died in February of this year.

She's had a handsome next-door neighbor for a long while now, Moose, and they really
enjoy each other's company. Here they are together:

I've been trying to prepare for her loss for a while now, since the vet report in
mid-September, but I know it will be hard since she has been the most perfect angel.

But if you could send out prayers for her, and for me, that would be wonderful.

Thanks,
