Alfalfa was part of a little crew we called the Curmudgeons, which also included Buckwheat, Spanky, Stymie, Button, and Rhonda.
The vets at the University of Tennessee found a tumor that ran the length of Alfalfa’s body. They estimated it was half of her body weight. Her body condition and the severity of the disease meant she was not a surgical candidate. She was treated with kindness and respect today for her “freedom ride”. We followed their professional advice to euthanize to end her suffering.
We are here to help the animals…and we are honored to do so. Individualized veterinary health care does not mean we can fix everything. First and foremost, it means we stop any suffering.
See you on the other side, Alfalfa.
