マールの事 About Marl

退院後、咳はないものの呼吸自体が弱く十分な酸素を取り入れらていないような感じだったので酸素マスクを用意。もう、水もゴハンも口にしません。薬は出されたのですがこの状態で無理に飲ませることに抵抗があり、このまま見守ることにしました。

After being discharged from the vet, her breathing weakened even though she’s not coughing. It’s like she’s not taking in enough oxygen, so I prepared an oxygen mask. She’s not touching any water or food. I prepared some medicine, but I have my reservations about forcing her to take it, so I’ve decided to just watch over her like this.

尿毒症からの発作が起きたら、その時は楽にしてあげようと決めていました。

I decided that if she started having seizures due to uremia, I’d put her out of her misery.

だんだん弱くなる呼吸。それでもオシッコがしたくなると「オシッコがしたいよ〜」って呼んでくれて、体を支えてあげるとシートの上でちゃんとオシッコをしていました。

Her breathing’s getting weaker and weaker, but when she wanted to pee, she hollered over to me like, “Hey, I want to go potty!” I supported her over the potty pad and she went fine.

そして退院して４１時間後、発作を起こすことなく静かに息を引き取りました。

Then 41 hours after leaving the vet, she passed away quietly, without any seizures.

保護した時点ですでに心臓が悪く、ずっと薬を飲んでいたマーくん。

僧帽弁閉鎖不全症、気管虚脱、慢性気管支炎、副鼻腔炎、どんどん薬が増えたけど上手に飲んでくれた

Marl, who had had a bad heart from day one of entering my care, and who had always been on medicine.

Mitral insufficiency, trachea collapse, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis—her medicine piled on quick, but she was a good girl and took all of it.

肺水腫になり危ない思いもしたけど元気に退院してきたよね

She got pulmonary edema and was in a dangerous place, but she came back home well.

気が強くて、けんかをして病院送りにした子もいたね

Some kids were stubborn and fought me when I tried to take them to the vet, you know?

写真を撮られるのが大嫌いでカメラを向けるといつもプイッと横を向いてしまうマーくん
これはカメラ目線で撮れた貴重な一枚

Marl hated cameras and always looked away as soon as you angled one at her.

This is a special one where I got her line of sight.

これは２００７年に作ったワンズのアルバム

今はチャコを除いてみんな逝ってしまった

This is my album of the kids I took in in 2007.

All of them have gone to heaven, except for Chaco.

保護した時は何歳だったのかな？歯石だらけで穴もあいちゃってたから結構年なのかと思ったけど、意外と若かったのかもしれないね。

How old was she when I took her in? I thought she was up there in age because her teeth were riddled with plaque and holes, but she may have been surprisingly young.

保護して７か月後、真っ白な被毛も伸びてやっとマルチーズらしく
After 7 months in my care, she grew back a nice white coat, and finally started looking like the Maltese she is.

ママのかわいいマール。マーくんのいないベビーベッドを見るのはつらいよ
もう少しめそめそさせてね。大好きだよ。ありがとう　　　

Mommy’s cute little Marl. It’s hard to look at that baby bed without you in it.

Let me cry just a bit more. I love you. Thank you.
