Last week was a tough week in the Ledezma home. We almost lost our good buddy Frodo. He ended up spending two days in the hospital because of a condition called Addison's Disease, which basically means his body doesn't produce the necessary hormones to cope with physiological stressors. He collapsed on us late Monday night and was unable to eat, drink or walk. When mommy got him to the vet, he told her that it was just in time as his heart rate and breath were dangerously low. If any more time had passed he would have been gone from us.
Not only were mommy and daddy worried about our little guy, Frodo. Ginger and Abs weren't quite sure what was going on. While Abby didn't seem to notice his absence too much, Ginger sulked around the house for the days he was gone. She only wanted to lay around and wasn't much for playing with anybody, even Abs. Fortunately, Frodo is doing well and now the family is all back together. We will have to continue giving Frodo artificial hormone injections for the rest of his life, but he is doing great and we are very relieved it's not something more serious.
Much Love,
Moises & Jennifer
