Let us all take a moment of silence...
Shall i ask from u all, to spare ur Kindness, from the bottom of ur heart to take a moment to Pray Sincerely
for my Long Awaited Darling, Beloved and Dearest
Yamilet Malika [Letika] as she has cross over to the Rainbow Bridge..
My Letika was found dead early 5am this morning.. [still in shock till now, but got supports by dear friends!! thanks a lot guys!!]
Couldnt imagine she is not with me now.. Couldnt imagine she didnt even spend 24hours with me..
But the time spent during when i get her from PetShack [Mama Joan] at 1.30pm till 2am [the last she was still alive] was worthwhile for me..
I am strong and will move on..
This is the schedule for my Letika Arrivals yesterday :-
12.45am - Arrived at Setia Jaya LRT Station [running to PetShack! Too excited!!]
1.00pm - Arrive at PetShack, get Letika n stuffs asap [supposed to stay but too hurry d, coz brother wanna take me to uncle's house, on the spot]
1.30pm - Done buying, Letika with me, In Car with Brother [going to Kelana Jaya]
2.00pm - At Kelana Jaya [Uncle's house] till evening..
10.30pm - KTM Station KL Sentral [going back UKM], 2 delays..
11.30pm - KTM arrive at KL Sentral
12.00am - Arrive at KTM Station UKM
12.30am - Arrive in room in UKM
1.00am - Finished bath, prepared food for Letika, post reply to SG Thread
1.30am - Read LYN forums
2.00am - Sleep, after i checked Letika
That's all i can recall..
As i am very into Malay cultures, my Malay juniors wake me up at 5.00am to bersahur with them, n cooking too.. As usual..
5.00am - Juniors knock my door, i answered
5.05am - Went to check Letika [a very crabby joey], but no sound n movement
5.10am - Not believeing myself, i open the cage, look inside n see Letika is like sleeping.. i try to make her move but failed, so i put hand inside, no reaction at all.. I take her out, she is GONE d..
I admit i am still in shock, but live must move on, and i dont want to LIE about this matter.. I wana tell what's happening bcoz all of us here r family and we shud share, whether it is GOOD or BAD..
Cried like crazy, i dont care!! I LOVE HER!! My college friends think something happens to my relatives. TOUCH WOOD!!
Having been long enuf in LYN especially in Sugar Glider Thread, i do recall something, that is to put the body of the deceased Letika in the fridge, in case i wanna do post mortem.. Put her in a plastic container, and wrap two plastic bags.. Dont wan friend to see a dead animal in fridge..
Then i went to call n msg n sms a few person.. Dat is who i trust in SG forum..
This morning went to PetShack after a few calls n msgs, decided to go to a vet. Hands and Paws.. Going with Joan and Bonai.. Thanks guys!! A great help there.. As we wanted to find out the real reasons.. Dr. Mervin did a post mortem.. Thanks Dr. Mervin, kind enuf to explain everything in details..
From the post mortem :-
1 ) Lung = floating in a bowl of water [good coz got air rather than water]
2 ) Kidney = Bright red colour [signs of healthy]
3 ) Heart = Bright red colour [signs of healthy]
4 ) Urine tract = got urine [signs of she drinks]
5 ) Stomach = no food [NOT GOOD, as seems like Letika only chew the mealworms i gave but not actually eat any]
So, Dr Mervin concluded the joey is in a healthy condition, the reason she died maybe the coz of :-
A ) Cold Stress, or
B ) Lack of Glucose, or
C ) Combination of both [this makes it much more prone to death]
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
This announcement was made to notify all the forumers in Sugar Glider Thread bout my experience [a BAD one],
I can conclude this as :-
1 ) Please do a good research on
AFTER BUYING TIPS on joeys sales.. Like going home str8 after u get ur joey.. [Learnt my lesson the HARD and SAD way]
2 ) If my joey at 8weeks plus, can GONE like that, just like that, what do u think bout
UNDERAGEDs?
3 ) And please
get from responsible and caring breeders/petshops, not only to the pets, but also customers/petlovers : PETSHACK feels responsible and so caring to me! They took me to Hands and Paws! And deal the matter there. Not their fault [I DIDNT BLAME THEM] and it is not my fault.
Just sometimes we missed the small details like glucose.. I never knew bout the glucose part.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
So, the above are from my experience.. Hope u all can learn something from my own HARD and SAD experience..
Just PM me if u wanna discuss/flame or what-so-ever ya to me.. I dont intend to get sensitive over this issue..
Please respect my LOST, and I really HOPE u all can BENEFIT from my LOST of Beloved n Dearest Letika..
Thanks [Jack Joan Bonai = Thanks for bringing me to the Vet, Bonai n Ninang, thanks for sending me back to UKM - they scared i too stressed.. huhu]
~A happy day turned 360 degrees upside-down!~
