Dick the degu

I have just got back from the vet and little Dick had to be put down. All three of my degus are underweight and I think they have been eating the wood based cat litter we were using in their cage. We didn't know this could harm them but we now think this caused constipation and filled them up so they didn't eat enough normal nutritious food...

The other two (Tom and Harry) are still at the vet and they are being warmed up and specially fed so hopefully they'll pull through.

I wish I had taken them to the vet yesterday but they weren't bad till this morning...

Can't stop crying- feel like it's my fault and Dick was my favourite little degu. He had a bald end to his tail which is how we told him apart from his brothers.

Run free at the Bridge little man!
