Re: kitty check-in
Murphy was put down Saturday morning. We took him to an emergency hospital Friday. They did bloodwork and a scan on his organs. He was beyond dehydrated, and needed to be hospitalized. We couldn't afford to board him for 3 days to do dialysis. (would've cost $3k+) His condition was so bad, his gallbladder shut down, his kidneys were $%#@, and his heart was weakened (he was born with a murmur) We took him home, and in the morning called our vet. He had gotten the reports faxed over, and said we were doing the right thing. He was too sick to be saved, no matter how much money we had. I held him until he passed, and it was the most hearbreaking moment of my life. I just wanted to hold onto him forever. He was only 6 years old
But he was always sick. When I found him at 2 weeks old, my old vet told me he wouldn't live a year based on his heart and asthma. At 8 months, he needed a life-saving surgery. We were lucky to have him as long as we did. And I'm just trying to stay grateful instead of remorseful.
oh wow, city i'm sorry! i don't go on FB much so i hadn't seen the update. i hope you're doing okay. i'm sure he is grateful to be out of pain. i'm sure you made the right decision, too. you gave him a lot longer than nature would have.
City: I'm sorry you had to let him go. I know that that day might not be too far away for us and it's heartbreaking to even think about it...you're in my thoughts.
Winky's doing okay right now. We gave her the iv for the first time on our own last night. It was scary! We were soo nervous we would do it wrong. She seemed okay after though, so hopefully it'll get easier.
We realized that she likes drinking filtered water out of our drinking glasses, so I hope she'll start to drink more water and that the meds have been helping.
i would be the same way. i am very worried for that day.
congrats on the fluids! I'm sure i'd be intimidated too. i hope it helps her feel better!
I'm glad Winky is doing better. That makes me smile
I think I missed her diagnosis.. what was it again? But kudos on the iv. Sticking little kitty arms with anything is nerve wrecking. And, funny thing... Murphy started insisting on bottled water from our drinking glasses. I think he could taste the chlorine in the water. But he wouldn't drink it from his water bowl. Oh, no. It had to be one of our juice glasses! Now Pepper thinks he can get away with it too.
