Marta
After surviving so much, and having such a strong heart throughout, Marta caught a tick-borne disease called Erlichia. It can be fatal in healthy dogs unless identified quickly, but to animals with immune systems under stress, like Marta, it is often too much.
Marta post surgery
On 4 December, some weeks after her successful amputation, she suddenly stopped eating, and became lethargic. Despite this, we were hopeful as her spirit was undimmed - she still managed a little tail-waggle when she saw the staff. She passed way quickly, just a couple of days later. She knew love and companionship at the end.
