At first I thought that it had been attacked by a fox but on close examination decided that this was not the case. I know that nothing can be done for 'Blossom' but would like to know what the problem was as I have others of the same age ( 15mths old) Ant information greatly appreciated Back to top CP Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 16087 Location: Hampshire Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2006 10:42 pm    Post subject: Sorry to hear of your sad news. When you say her insides were hanging out - where from? Was there a wound?
