Don't kick yourself, love! There is no evidence of what may have happened or anything, and if it is related to muscle weakness and arthritis, there is still no way of anticipating or preventing this . . . at least not that I can think of. You do so much for his health and well being, you are an excellent owner. Don't blame yourself for this.
I am anxious for your news. Thinking of you!!

He'd had a fall and broken his back. We hadn't noticed but the other leg was cold and unresponsive too. Over the past few days he'd got incontinent and was struggling to get about, despite appearing reasonably well.

I'm so sorry. He had a great life. At least the decision must have been straightforward if not at all easy.

I'm so so sorry. 😖
At least he's with all the other goos who are no longer with us now! They'll keep him very happy, imagine the size of the degu pile ❤ he's had a wonderful life with you x

I'm utterly shocked and heartbroken! Uglibug, I am so deeply sorry! I never for a minute would have thought this is what had happened. Oh, sweet Mater, how we will miss you!! I am so sorry, love, so sorry. Sending you love and hugs.
How is Buddy? Is he looking for Mater? Will he come out to you?

All you can do for Buddy is heatpad and soft toy and your company, as I'm sure you know. Can he see any of the other goos? Difficult question, but did you bring Mater home to show Buddy?

Buddy can see all the other goos. We didn't bring Mater home to show him. The whole room seems subdued tonight, like they all know somethings wrong. It's so quiet, it's eerie.
