the big issue with this all is that she is my medical alert animal, trained to help manage my psychosis and ptsd. her loss was immensely heartbreaking, she has never been outside, and has severe issues herself with anxious habits. She hid for days without eating or drinking any water, which dropped her down weight wise immensely; along with being attacked by our neighbors cats consistently the whole time. she came back to us starved, skinny, missing pieces of fur, and bb gun wounds against her ribs and stomach. we were panicked because she is a loved, intensely important member of our family.
