As said, I too agree Nansilude, I wish I had let Franny go to Heave the day before because the last night was miserable for her. She was almost in a coma when she peep herself.
I'm reading through quickly tonight, but I believe with the photo's etc you baby came home. Do not let a sick cat out anymore. They will leave and find a place to die and you don't want that. The predisone is another issue too. I took my cat off it to quickly to start another Vet's regime...
As said, I did the same thing with the fluids everyday and in the end...it was the end...You want to do EVERYTHING you can but when life is ending you have to let it go. What I did was prolong my Franny's life and it was not pretty. But I tried for 2 extra days hoping she would pass at home and...
BTW the picture is Franny 4 days before she left me. She made it out to the living room to see outside for a few minutes. I got this very special shot of her.
A year ago I lost Franny at 12 years old and her brother Lemmy is still here and very strong too. I feel sad that you are going to go through what I did. The same things happened to me. When I noticed Franny was skin and bones it happened so fast. She also had Lymphoma. A tumor in her...
BTW...that is the sister cat in my picture that pretty much terrorized my boy Lemmy, but I had no idea until she died and he became my new best friend and a lovely cat. He actually tried to be nice but she really took him down a lot for 12 years.
Lemmy my 12yr old boy has dry flaky skin on his back. He has very long hair and it gets matted for years. But after his sister died a year ago he actually became happy and started being really affectionate. OK now the guy friend that helps take care of my cat when I go to work tells me that he...
Today I had time to check back in and see what happened with Theodore. I am so happy for you!!!! I lost Franny last July after a 1 month battle you may remember. This site really helped me along and also helped me to do the right thing and send her over the rainbow bridge. It took about a...
I rescued a brother and sister cat at 6 weeks. And now 12 years later I learned about cats. My first rescue cat Ali lived for 12 yrs. After 2 years I decided to rescue 2 cats because I travel and they could keep each other company. Well they never really grew together. They tolerated each...
Been a while since I have been here...Franny died in July as you know but my boy Lemmy is hell on wheels...he loves life with out the stress of his sister...I learned a lot since she passed. I miss her all the time. But most of all I am so happy Theodore is doing well....good for all of you!
I will post one more time in hopes that you will understand THERE IS NO PERFECT DEATH. Franny started losing weight May 30/14 and by the time I figured it out I WAS TOO LATE!!!! I spent too much time with the first vet thinking I HAD TIME and then when I got the 2nd opinion...it was to late...
I think as I said before the most important thing is that you tried EVERYTHING. I tried everything but got there to late to make a change in Franny's life. Going forward you and Theodore will look forward to a better life ahead. Prayers for all of you.
I am truly wishing you all the best with Theodore. You have to remember you have and are doing everything to make him better. When you get the blood work you know better. It killed me to put Franny to sleep July 22/14 but today i know it was the right time. She was never going to get better...
LOL...thanks for that...Lemmy and I just played roll the ping pong ball down the hall way. He loves it...give it a try....and yes...he seemed less stressed and much more talkative...meowitive....
One more time...MnM...you are so right. My sister was given 6 months to live and she lived for over 3 years. But in the end...when I took her to the hospital I had no idea they were going to tell me you sister has 24hours to live. REALLY....My family flew in and we sat for 9 days while she...
I am in the exact same boat. I am sorry for your loss. It's hard but this website really really helped me make the right decision. I had thought I should let Franny die on her own her in the house. And then I had the really bad night. The night she peed herself and every time I brought her...
MnM...wow you said it all. I am actually crying. I lost Franny July 22 2014. I went thru many things Catconcern did with guilt because it all happened so/too fast. I rescued my brother and sis cat 12 years ago. I always said if I had not they would have been put down. Franny had a great...
