Thge "mystery problems" can be so frustrating! You did the right thing getting him in sooner rather than later. I hope things turn out ok!!

So I went to pick him up to take him to the ER vet for care overnight. Apparently he had gotten a lot worse during the day and the vet, as well as the other vets there all felt it was cardiomyopathy. In such a young cat the prognosis as far as long term is not good. In order to find out for sure, I would have to go to a cardiologist just to make it is that. When I walked in and saw him, he looked really bad, and after talking to the vets I made the hardest decision I have ever had to make, I had to say goodbye to my best friend Franklin. Needless to say I'm extremely broken hearted and not really quite sure what to do. I know I made the right decision but losing a close friend is nothing easy. Please say a prayer for my Franklin as he rests in peace.

Thanks again for your support

Oh no, I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved Franklin. What a wonderful loving mama he had, to do such an unselfish thing for him. Franklin is in Good Company at the Bridge, I can assure you.


Hugs and tears from me.

I am so sorry to hear that you lost Franklin, but you did the right thing by ending his suffering if there was no hope for him. I just lost my Maverick last month, so I know how you're feeling. It's little comfort, I know, but they are in a better place now and playing happily at the Rainbow Bridge.

Rest peacefully, Franklin.

Thank you guys so much for the warm responses! I have lost animals before as a child, but this was my first animal that was 100% mine. I live alone so it was literally like having a best friend as roommate. It is just hard coming home and hes not waiting by the door when I walk in and seeing a lot of his things remind me of him. Its just a hard time, as many of you know. I know in the end he is in a better place and I did do the right thing, its just hard to swallow that Ill never see my pal again. Again, thanks for the support, every post does help!

I felt so sure that he would be OK once I read you'd been to the vet that I only checked back out of curiosity to see what had been wrong. I'm so sorry that it turned out this way instead.

I'm so sorry to hear your sad news about Franklin. Out of respect for him, I will close this thread now, and when you feel up to it, perhaps you'll start a thread for him the Crossing the Bridge, where you can share some more remembrances and we can continue to hold you both in our hearts.
