well it's official, the toxicology didn't find a thing so the deaths of minnie, huck and blossom will forever remain a mystery. not only did the tox find nothing, this includes looking for some 10 rodenticides. the autopsy showed anti-coagulant poision, with rat poision being the top suspicion. alas, doesn't seem to be the case.
we still haven't found anything at all in the home. cats, dogs, adults and a toddler continue to reside in the home; they've been there for nearly 3 years now.
our good friend and foster mom to the trio brought over all their stuff, most of which came from here originally. it was very sad to go through the favorite things of these three, plus the other critters of ours she's offered a foster home to. jack, teddy, marvin, minnie, blossom, huck, handsome, harriet...all are having fun at the bridge now. dawn is donating their cage to our new partner shelter, which will be a big help.
thanks to all who sent messages of sympathy, great suggestions on possible causes and inquiries as to what we ever found out. :)
