We didn\u2019t realise how bad things were until mid-last week when we contacted our veterinarian. They didn\u2019t have any appointment before Monday and told us to contact some other place if he became worse. And he did. So on Saturday I went to the animal clinic in Lund to see what can be done. He was barely able to walk when we got there. Just skin and bones. The veterinarian told me she was surprised that he lived with that low of a body temperature. There were only very slim chances of him ever getting well and the best thing would be for him to die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So he left us. Back home we gave him a nice little burial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"778\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wolfmaier.se\/wolfie217\/files\/2020\/05\/F-2020-05-02-20-00-18-778x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Siams grave\" class=\"wp-image-1572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wolfmaier.se\/wolfie217\/files\/2020\/05\/F-2020-05-02-20-00-18-778x1024.jpg 778w, https:\/\/blog.wolfmaier.se\/wolfie217\/files\/2020\/05\/F-2020-05-02-20-00-18-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/blog.wolfmaier.se\/wolfie217\/files\/2020\/05\/F-2020-05-02-20-00-18-768x1011.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.wolfmaier.se\/wolfie217\/files\/2020\/05\/F-2020-05-02-20-00-18.jpg 912w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hi is missed.

It took him a while to start to connect to us, but when he did he really enjoyed my company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They soon started to enjoy our garden and the surroundings. Making life difficult for all the rodents and some birds too. The wild bunnies moved out of our place rather quick after one of them losing to Siam.
