My sweet baby SOURPATCH went to the rainbow bridge this morning

**maid25cats** · 12-19-2012, 05:31 PM

I had to put my baby down this morning. he had lost another pound since he was there
in Oct. The vet felt a tumor in his intestines that was not there 2 months ago.
He was FIV pos. so the steroids would not have been good for his immune system.
He was down to 6.5 pounds
I have been crying all day.
Play hard at the bridge my sweet boy I love you baby

So sorry to hear about Sourpatch. Hugz

**maid25cats** · 12-20-2012, 12:55 AM

Thank-you everyone for your kind words.

Freedom he was about 13 or 14. He was a stray that I use to see walking through the yards.I would always call to him but
he would keep walking about 5yrs. this went on, then finally the summer of 2007 he walk up to the porch looking for food.
he was in bad shape. covered with ticks and big knots in his fur. It took the whole summer but we were finally able to gain his trust and when winter came I took him to the vet to be checked and fixed. The vet estimated him to be about 8-9 then
This is right after he got fixed. he was about 12 pounds.
