Bye Bye Esmo!

Friday, August 11th, 2006

Unfortunately Esme will not be joining us in our New House.

Esmes condition worsened overnight and she died peacefully in her sleep.

We are devastated by her loss, she will be sadly missed, by Lindsey, Andy and Esther.

Bye Bye Esmo, love you, you will always be remembered in our hearts and minds.

Esme’s Condition

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

The Vet confirmed after examining Esme this morning, that she is suffering from Aspiration pneumonia. To help her breath more easily she was given oxygen, late this afternoon, the oxygen was removed. She’s been kept in overnight for observation and agressive treatment for Aspiration pneumonia. We will be updated on her condition tomorrow morning. A sleepless night ahead! We are deeply concerned about her welfare, and hope she fights this illness.

Aspiration pneumonia (or aspiration pneumonitis) is caused by aspirating oral or gastric contents, either while eating, or after reflux or vomiting.
