Malka never fully recovered from that nightmarish January night. Mentally she recovered but physically she never got the um-pf back in her step. On September 10th she stopped eating and couldn't sleep. No matter how she laid down she couldn't get comfortable. This is the Facebook post from September 11th.

Back from the vet with Malka. Not good. We knew she had early stages of kidney disease and when she got caught in the leg hold trap in January it accelerated from the stress but the last thing I expected was an almost total shut down of her kidneys in the last two days. So the vet did "doggie dialysis" today and I'll continue it at home. She's sound asleep now, which is no surprise since she hasn't been able to sleep for two days. She even ate after dialysis and has kept the food down. She seems comfortable so for right now we take it one day at a time and do our best to give the end of her life the same love and comfort she has given us.

On September 14th her pain became unbearable to watch and we couldn't bear to let her go on that way. She passed away peacefully with her family by her side. I still grieve for her and think about her almost every day.
