I don't know what happened. I took anap with the babies this afternoon, got up when my older boys came homefrom school. As I was loading up the truck for footballpractice, I see Ozzy laying on his side, eyes wide open. Mymiddle son sees me stop and looks at Ozzy and says, "look Mommy, Ozzy'ssleeping." I tell him I don't think so...I poked him and hedidn't move. He was gone, gone, gone.
He was perfectly fine when I put the babies down for theirnap. Before I went in to nap too, I went and refilled theirwater. Ozzy was fine. He has been pooping andpeeing and eating and drinking. He's been moving around,sniffing Ella's bottom through the cage, hopping on his house, notusing the litter box. No signs of distress; nothing!
I thoroughly checked him out when I found out Lexi was Lex. Nothing out of the ordinary.
I have no clue what it could have been. I spent an hourdisinfecting his cage and all of his stuff. We even crematedhim, because I have no idea why he died. I cremated all hisdroppings everything.
I am soooo mad! I haven't hit the mourning partyet. I've only had Ozzy 3 weeks!! I am never buyinganother animal from a pet store!!! I was still getting toknow him. He was still getting to know us.
This has just been a bad bad summer with animals. First Susandies, then my dog is incarcerated (locked up in the pen) because she isin heat, and she is mad as all that at me, then Madi gives birthbecause Susan was really a Bob, then the one baby still alive dies,then I find out Lexi is actually Lex and Jenna may be pregnant, but Ican't be 100% sure because of the heat and the fact that I never sawany copulating going on, and now Ozzy goes and dies on me.
I am very worried about Ella. She is acting normal.I gave her a bigger litter box because she kept doing the deed over theside and now is digging in it, but she is making it into thebox. I took her into the living room when I was cleaning outher cage. She sat on the couch the whole time looking likethe queen, and when I put her back into her cage she went straight tothe litter box to potty. I've checked her over thoroughly andcan't find a thing.
I'm sorry this is so long...I'm just frustrated, confused, angry,bewildered, sad. Someone is not happy with me and I don'tknow why!
Thanks for letting me vent
