RIP Kiwi

Kiwi didn't eat for 2 days.
Started vomiting.
Lost so much weight bones were showing.
Was happy though and still had energy.
Temperature and heart rate were ok.
Went to the vet.
Did an Xray.
Did an echography.
Did a laparotomy.
The problem is that the intestine is not transitting food.
No exact cause to the problem.
No obstruction.
Maybe bacteria, maybe virus, maybe tumor.
Kiwi became very weak.
She got treatment.
Fluids.
Painkillers.
Prokinetics.
Antibiotics.
Ulcer prevention.
Anti-nausea.
Anti-emetic.
Became very weak.
Refused water.
Refused everything.
Losing temperature.
Placed next to warm bottles.
Force fed treatments.
Became lethargic.
Like that for a day and a half.
Started panting.
Became rigid.
Still breathing.
Stopped breathing.

She's burried at the entrance of the forest, at a place she would always pull on the leash to go check out, and I would always pull her away from.
