Isis started wheezing last night. I started feeling worried about her. We took her to the vet who informed us that Isis has fluid on her lungs. She was given 2 shots and a steroid shot. I have to watch her tonight and see. She's either going to get a lot better or a lot worse.. and if she gets too much worse we will have to take her to an emergency vet and put her down

This is ripping me up inside. I don't want her to go.

Oh sweety...
Is there nothing else they can do other than just put her to sleep? Couldn't they drain the fluid off her lungs? Or does Isis have a pre-existing condition that I'm unaware of?

Either way, I'm so sorry you're having to go through this right now and you and dear Isis are in my thoughts.

They don't know what's causing the fluid on her lungs... if she makes it through the night I have to take her for an echo test tomorrow

This is really ripping me to shreads... I've never had a pet die on me before.

I am so sorry to hear about this. Do they know what's causing her to have the buildup of fluid on her lungs? Does she have another health issue going on as well? My prayers are with you. Try to stay strong
sometimes when they look the worst, they magically seem to pull through with a little extra love and care

I'm so sorry to hear about Isis's trouble. I hope you see quick improvement, and she's better soon. Whatever happens, though, we're here for you. This stuff is never easy.
Sending vibes and prayers for Isis to be well, and for her Mom to be strong for her.

They are not sure what is causing the build up, if she makes it tonight we have to take her to the vet tomorrow for the test.. You guys are the greatest.. You have always been here when I needed help when my first cat Sephie first came into my life. It means a lot to me that you guys are here for this hard time. I wrote a poem for her should this be the end for Isis (crossing my fingers and hoping it isnt.) Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers

Oh I hope the vet can figure out why there's fluid in her lungs tomorrow!
