Sad news...
It is with a VERY heavy heart that I write this...around 10pm last night (Sat.) my beloved Peepers passed away. As Nic was leaving for the store she noticed that Peeps had not eaten her dinner so I went out to check on her. She seemed out of sorts so I watched her for a little bit and when she laid down and could not get back up I knew it was time to go to the vet. We got to the emergency vet a little before 8 and they checked her in and told us they would take x-rays and stuff and give us a call back. Me and the doctor were both pretty sure she was egg-bound again which is familiar territory. So we went on home and waited, then a little after 10 we got the call that she had passed. Apparently she had some sort or violent tremor or seizure and then went limp and they did all they could to try to revive her but sadly could not. I have cried and cried and I am sure I am not done crying yet but I take comfort in knowing that my angel that already had wings but could not fly, now has a halo and is flying to her little heart's content. She went from being a little ball of yellow fluff that someone did not want to being a beautiful duck full of personality that along the way touched so many people's hearts and she is already missed very much.

That is very sad news, my condolences.:(
The entire time I was reading your post, I was crying! I cannot believe the duck (Peepers) that gave so much is now in heaven with Sammy & Abby (Nic's doggies). And all my kitties, too. Peeps had a GREAT life with you and Nic and the rest of us. I will certainly miss her! I love you Peepers!
I am so very sorry for your sudden loss. We have 2 pekins, both 9 months old, a boy and a girl. The girl has been laying an egg every day since last Oct -- over 100 eggs now! We are worried that she may be egg-bound one day. We had loss another Pekin back in 2004 -- tell-tale sign being they stood up straight and walk like an Indian Runner duck. Again, I am so sorry you lost your fluffy baby girl. She was a feisty and independent soul who knew what she wants and when she wants it. Rest in peace Peepers.
