Despite heroic efforts by vets, her condition deteriorated overnight, making surgery too risky — her body couldn’t handle the trauma, evidenced by red urine signaling organ failure. Found with severe fractures and tissue damage, Sky’s suffering was deemed unbearable. A post-mortem is underway to uncover what went wrong, while shocking records reveal concerns about her welfare as far back as March — including documented escape attempts, separation anxiety, and a dire prognosis that warned she couldn’t stay at Saps without compromising her well-being. Just ten days before her death, a vet certificate flagged her plight. Now, a criminal case has been launched, with authorities investigating both the facility and those responsible for ignoring clear warnings.
