My iguana just died

Post Reply New Topic

She had what the vet and I thought was a respiratiory or sinus infection.I gave her the meds and followed all instructions,but she crashed on me today.She couldn't seem to breathe and died with me holding her,she wanted to be with me all day,I carried her around the yard,told her how much I loved her,she gasped several times and died.I did everything right,lights,humidity,heat, correct food,everything,I feel like I've been punched in the stomach.This evening I will dig her little grave.I feel like just banging my head and yelling why,why the f**k did she have to die.Her name was Poppy.I keep wanting to go in her room and check on her,but she's not in there now.She is laying on my bed,waiting to be buried.I already miss her more than anything.

I am so sorry

*hugs*

I am so sorry for your loss. You adore your companions and I am sure you will find comfort from the others too.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I know the pain of pet loss. Maybe you could paint her name on a stone to put on the grave.

It's horrible to lose a friend (pet). Remember the good times you had together. You did good man!

I'm sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear that, I've always wanted a reptile and it sounds you had real bond with your iguana.

Sorry to hear about your iguana its sad when you lose a pet.

Thank you all,she meant so much to me.

Oh, MissLizard, gosh I don't know how to comfort you but I want to. Poppy has a little piece of your heart with her to comfort her in the great beyond? Big virtual hugs from a fellow animal and creature lover, me.

We're sorry to hear that.
