    It's always a tough time when you lose one.
    With so many unknowns it's hard to say what happened.

    Usually by the time they go limp like you described, they are beyond help, and on their way out of this world. Don't let this discourage you from keeping another. It's not like we haven't all lost some over the years. These things happen in spite of experience and good husbandry. Don't blame yourself.
