My baby Sebastian

Sabastian will be in my thoughts this evening, wishing him the safest and easiest passage over the rainbow bridge that can possibly be.
You truly did everything you could for your little boy, and made the most loving decision a pet owner can make in the end. Please, hold that (and his love) in your heart always.
With healing thoughts,
Jess

I have read a few posts on kitty losses this week, and frankly I was too upset about my own son to cope with anyones loss. Selfish isn't it.

You did everything you could. There is no guilt in that. You did a great job as all good cat mommies do. We love like we love our own kids.

Sebastian, one of my exes named his dangley that. Must have thought a lot of it, to give it such a regal name, huh? Hope that made you laugh, laughter is the first key to heal.

I still look for my son through the house, but we have a kitten, a very chatty girl that I have finally decided to call Ethyl Merman. It's getting easier.

You will miss him for a long time to come. But another need filled cat will come along that will capture your heart and know as I do, my Luckyduck and your Sebastian will be thankful the new kitties will have such excellent mommies.

Peace,
Janis

I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP Sebastian.

He was given the last greatest act of love that could be given to him and allowed him to keep his dignity. He will always be with you and you will see him again someday and until then he will always be watching over his Meowmy.

I was not sure where to post this: I am still hurting and so is Sebastians brother, Marty. I was cleaning out my file bin and came across all of the Vet reciepts from Sebastian. I wonder now if I made the right decision. Please can someone tell me that I did: Sebastian has pancreatitis when he was about 5. When he was 8 he was diagnosed with Stomatitis and was on prednisone and interferon (sp) for over a year. The treatment was not working and he had all but 5 teeth removed. He had battled URI's his whole life. In April he had another URI. He was OK for awhile but it came back. In Oct he broke his arm. He was on Cefta (sp) then clavamox, then clavamox and Baytril, then on Augmentin. He was switched so many times because his WBC was very high. In the end it was 90,000. The vets thought that it was cancer but the pathology report was negative. They wanted to do a liver biopsy but he has lost so much weight and he was in the early stages of Liver failure and his kidneys were failing. And, his temp was 97-99 degrees Yes, I know he was very sick, but I feel like that I gave up on him. I did not He was so sick and in pain. ) When they did an ultrasound his liver, pancreas and spleen were inlarged. If he did have cancer, how could I put him through the treatment. He had stopped eating about 3 weeks before we put him to rest. I was feeding him a slurry of Rebound and wet food. But he kept lossing weight
Thanks for letting me get this out of me. I still want him back I wish that I could have done more.

It is so hard when we have to let our beloved babies go.
You did everything that you could for Sebastian.
You will always miss him but please try to remember,
Sebastian will remain with you in your heart until you are re-united at the Bridge one happy day.

Its always so easy to second guess ourselves. But you said it yourself, Sebastian was sick. Sometimes we humans keep our baby's around, when they are ready to go because we cant bare to part with them. You dug deep in yourself and chose the MOST UNSELFISH thing, to let your baby go in peace, to end his suffering. The pain is strong, but Im sure deep inside of yourself, you know you did the right thing, to let your baby be free. I have lost a baby, too, I know how sad it is. Remember the beautiful times to help you through this painful time.

Difficult as it was for you, and still is, you did the most loving thing you could do, when you acknowleged that to continue holding on and trying to treat was not going to save him -- and so allowed him to depart in peace and in dignity. Please be gentle with yourself.

I know just how hard that decision is, having made it myself just over a week ago. Know that it was for the best and little Sebastian is at peace now. I know that he didn't want to leave you, any more than you wanted to let him go, but he knew it was for the best, as do you.

Hopefully he is snuggled up with Alley at the rainbow bridge, keeping eachother company.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I feel so empty without my boy. Something is missing out of my life and it is my Sebastian. I let him go because that was the right thing to do, but my heart can not accept it. Thank you for letting me know that I am not alone and that it was OK to let him go. I had a dream last night that I got to kiss Sebastian on his head. When I woke up I was kissing Marty's head. It felt so real. I asked Sebastian to give me a sign that he was ok and not mad at me. This was the sign. When he was here, I would say "Sebastian, I love you" and he would headbutt my face and nibble of my chin. If we were laying in bed, he would pet my face and give me love eyes. If we was in a really great mood he would play lets suffocate mommy with my tummy. That dream let me know that he is OK...atleast I can hold onto that thought for now.

I am taking Marty to the vet on Friday. He is not the boy that I remember. He has changed so much since his brothers death that I want to make sure his BUN and T-4 are all good. I am a worrier mama.

I'm glad Sebastian came to reassure you. Hope all goes well with Marty's vet visit.

It sounds like poor Marty is grieving for Sebastian. The others are right that you made the best decision for Sebastian; and I am so sorry that you are now having to worry about Marty. Sending {{{{healing prayers and vibes}}} to you both. I will go read Marty's post now....
