It's Jager time!
As some may know Clementine has not been well for a few weeks now. She came down with a sudden lethargy, refused to eat and was having some neuro problems. After weeks of intensive round the clock care and medication my poor girl died of massive kidney failure last night whilst in the care of a top reptile vet. Her blood work was absolutly shocking. Kidney count should be 4-500, hers was 13-1500. Her white blood cell count should have been 2-3000 and it was 36000. How she made it those last couple of days I will never know. I am getting a full post mortem done and having her major organs sent off for biopsy just to 100% confirm cause of death and to check for the dreaded IBD.

Sleep well Clem, I miss you already.

The first day I brought her home, almost 2 years ago.

And the last pictures I have of her when she was big and strong. I never photographed her during her illness as I didn't want to remember her that way.

Thanks Nanci. I cannot tell you how heart broken I am. I just know I did everything I possibly could for her and no expense was spared. I travelled 2 hours each time to get her to the best reptile vet I know of in Scotland. I nursed her day and night, giving her fluids, critical care formula, anti biotics and calcium suppliments as well as tube feeding her. She seemed to be on the mend until 2 nights ago where she was having real difficulty even lifting her head. At that point I just knew she wasn't going to make it so when I got the call at 8.30 this morning I was ready for the news. I had already been in mourning for the last 2 days. But the tears keep coming and I will never forget my very very special girl.
 
I know how hard this post must of been, for you to make, Elle.
And my deepest condolences to you.
I know we may not see eye to eye on certain things, but please take this as a genuine (((hug))) from a fellow snake lover.
And rest assured, we all know you done everything you could possibly of done
RIP, a very beautiful little snake.
My heart goes out to you.
 
Thanks for making me cry again Mike. I do appreciate the support and condolences, but there is no consoling me right now. She was just so special to me.
 
Oh, Elle ... I really feel, for you, and am saddened by your loss.
My deepest, most heartfelt, condolences.
Clementine was, truly, a beautiful gal. She will be missed.

Thank you Deb. I miss her so much it hurts. I have just washed and sterilised her box and furniture. Staring at the empty box just makes me cry even more. I am going to be rather grim and ask for her body back after the PM has been done and her organs taken out and sent away for biopsies. I would quite like to have her cremated and kept in a special little urn so I can always remember her.

And I am 100% sure now that my tattoo of a snake wrapped round my ankle with the head resting on my foot will be Clementine. I wanted a boa anyway but couldn't decide which even though I have been designing for months.
 
Elle ((((HUGS)))) I was so sorry to read this.
R.I.P. beautiful Clementine. Elle my thoughts will be with you all day today.
 
I am tearing up, reading your words, as I can sure empathize.
{{{ Hugs }}}

What a wonderful tribute this will be to Clementine.

I am so sorry Elle...she was a gorgeous little girl.
I know that in her snakey little way she knows you did all you could for her.
I hope whatever illness she had won't hurt your other babies.....
 
Oh Elle... I'm so sorry about Clementine...
She was an absolutely beautiful lady, and I know she must have been very happy in your care, I know you cared greatly for her, and I hope your heart can repair itself soon. It will never heal completely, but with your tattoo tribute, you will always have her close to you.
My condolences, love.
Rest In Peace, sweet Clementine.
 
Oh Elle...I'm so sorry, sweetheart. Clementine was such a beautiful girl, and you captured that beauty so perfectly in your photos. RIP, lovely Clementine.

((((((Elle))))))))
 
Aww Clem :(

*huggles Elle* You need to just take solace in the fact that you did everything you could for her, you fought for her and that's important.
I've also got my fingers crossed that she didn't have anything to spread.

*hugs again*
RIP Clem
 
I am so sorry Elle. I know how special she was to you. She was a beautiful girl and had a wonderful life with you. I know how hard it is. The tears will keep flowing and there is nothing wrong with that, it just shows how much you loved her.
Sending hugs and love your way.
