Arctic Mama   3,640 Posted April 25, 2019 Oh Iâm so sorry  he was gorgeous.  It sounds like he freaked himself out with being stuck and hurt himself with the struggle more than any actual mechanical injury.  Thatâs so sad!  Iâm sorry sweetie. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
