Thanks for your kind words! It has been hard. I keep looking for her :( I know with time it will get easier.  

Thank you all for your kind words! It helps having a site like this to share your feelings. I feel so drained today. The final few days she would get in bed with me, wrap herself around my head and lick me. I knew she knew her time was ending as this was not typical behavior for her.  

I just had to make a very difficult decision today. My Katie girl has been ill for about a month. She was 18. She started really going downhill about a week ago although I could see her life draining everyday. I had to put her down this morning and I am so missing her. Its been hard looking at...

My 18 year old kitty has been dealing with health problems too. She was sedated a short time to get some matts off and thats when trouble began. She was rushed two days later, being very sick, finding out that she had a severe urinary infection. Its been a slow recovery. She was having a hard...

My Katie is just getting over being sick and is just starting to perk up a little although her appetite has not returned. Shes 18. She has lately taking spells of crying at night. What I thought was going to be a peaceful sleep after working 7 days in row turned out to be just the opposite. She...

Katie had a very bad UTI...and the strange thing is she didn't have one before i took her in to be sedated. I really think stress brought it on. Its been a week since shes had the shot and shes actually starting to come around. She has been zombie, shes old but i have never seen her like that...

Well I talked to the vets office and told them about how I thought the Convenia was making her lethargic. They said they never heard of that happening. So I asked for some oral medicine for her to give her when her 10 days are up after her convenia injection. This is a liquid stuff, new they...

Another question. If she needs more antibiotics and I ask for the oral liquid kind, is it okay to give it to her where she was given a covenia shot a week ago? Its so nice to have a support group here, I am so worried about my girl.

She is eating canned food but there are days its just nibbles. She seems very lethargic, wants to sleep sleep sleep. I understand she is 18 but shes far from her old self. We did do some blood work on her, kidneys are ok, not bad for an old cat. When I took her on tuesday, they just gave her...

Thanks all for your replies! First i should tell you that they did insert a needle into her bladder and tested her urine that way...they said it had alot of bacteria. I don't think it was the anethesia that made her sick as she didn't get sick until 2-3 days after her sedation. They feel it was...

Thanks for replying. They (the vets) feel she may have had one before being put under sedation but she never showed any signs before and shes had UTI's in the past but not for awhile. She never got as sick with them as she did this time. Its been over a week now since her sedation and only a few...

I am so sorry for your loss! You certainly did the right thing. He was suffering and you held out as long as any great parent would. I am dealing with my 18 year old baby, who in the last week has had it rough, with infections. I'll keep her going as long as I can, I only wish I didn't work a...

I took my 18 year old cat for some grooming last week, she had some bad matts on her and I just couldn't get them out. Shes a wild woman in the vets office so they had to sedate her long enough to do the job. She came home looking groggy and not feeling well. She continued for two days and I...
