   Sorry to hear of your loss. We had one of ours pass away Wednesday night. Until last weekend he seemed to be fine but suddenly quit eating or moving much. He went to the vet Wednesday (couldn’t get in Tuesday) and an xray showed a large tumor on his liver. He was brought back home and passed away during the night. It’s easier than having to make the decision to put them down like you did but still a loss.
