Short spoiler alert short version to skip trauma:

There was nothing Isabella could do and Perry dies. Everyone in the Flynn-Flecher family is sad. You can move to next chapter now.

Long version:

After working with Perry an hour, Isabella calls Lawrence.

She explained to he father in law," I did every test I could do on Perry. There are not any physical problems. He just seems to be in emotional stress. He is also aging. 35 is a long time for a platypus. He has lived a long healthy life. I think that if he is given extra attention, he will be fine."

So Isabella brings Perry home. Lawrence decides to have a family gathering that night. The entire family is gathering at Lawrence and Linda's house. They even have a cook out and serve Perry's favorite food. Perry nibbles some, but is still sulking.

Phineas picks up Perry and is very worried." Oh Perry, I wish I could understand you. I wish I could help you", he said.

Ferb sits next to Phineas and starts holding Perry." Stay strong Perry", he pleaded.

Candace comes over and starts petting Perry." Oh Perry you have to get better!"She begged.

It starts to get quiet while the Flynn-Flecher kids are petting Perry.

Phineas is holding Perry for what becomes the last time. Perry closes his eyes.

Phineas pleads,"Oh, Perry please pull through. Oh Perry!"

Phineas can't hold back any tears. He soon learns that there is no more that can be done to save Perry. The rest of the family gathers around Perry. This includes cousins, aunts, uncles, second cousins, cousins first time removed etc.

Perry takes his last breath and the house goes quiet for some time. Then Phineas takes Perry to the back yard. They knew this was going to happen someday soon, but without any pressing health problems, this was sudden.

Ferb has dug a small hole in the ground. Phineas places Perry into the ground.

Phineas declared," Perry you will be missed, but you are in a better place now."

This ends the sad part of the story. There is more to come. To be continued. The best is yet to come.
