    Fate radix

    This afternoon I went out in the backyard to do a radix sweep before I cut the grass. Out in the middle of the yard I found this poor little blind female. I don't know what's going on with her, whether she's received some kind of head trauma or whether she's got an eye infection. In any event she's going inside. She took a worm from me and did drink some water. Her overall health looks good. Her weight seems normal for her size and she's doing a good amount of tongue flicking.
    I'm really glad I came across her as she was a sitting duck(radix) out in the middle of my yard.

    This fine little female passed tonight. I had to put her down as she was in convulsions.
    Not sure what happened to her but it was catastrophic. RIP little scrub. The suffering is over.

    Oh darn. I noticed one of those eyes looks swollen. I'll bet there was an infection that got into her skull causing convulsions. Poor little thing.
