We lost our beautiful little girl Esme today.
She's not been herself recently, holding her head funny, not eating, drinking a lot.
So yesterday we took her to the vet. He said that she had an irrengularly shaped and enlarged kidney, and said he thought he could feel some kind of growth. He gave her two jabs and told us to go back today.
Well, we did, and the news wasn't good. He said that he couldn't be sure that she definately had a tumor but he was 99% sure she did. They could have done tests on her, but they would have taken a long time, all the while her suffering, and even then there was no guarantee that we'd find out what was wrong.
I know so many people out there don't agree with putting pets down, but my mum and I really felt that it was the best thing.
We left her about 45 minutes ago and we're in pieces, but I know that it'd hurt even more to prolong her life, putting her through strenuous tests and the discomfort of travelling to thet vet.
So RIP Esme, my beautiful girl. Your zing and your spark were taken too early, but at least you can be with your old friend Barney to terrorise him again wherever you are.
