RIP Gizmo

Our vet diagnosed Gizmo with FIP and tried several different treatments for 2 1/2 wks. to try and get him over the hump. Despite all our attempts and help from our vet Gizmo could not eat and lost nearly 3 lbs. from his original weight. When he told us we would have to put him to sleep we saw a feline specialist for a second opinion. She said his eyes and skin were beginning to jaundice and when she felt his abdomen for fluid she was overly concerned about his intestines which were roped and hard. We talked about his liver enzymes, the possibility of hepatic lipidosis, FIP, inflammatory bowel disease and even cancer.

We spent 2 hrs. with the specialty vet until DH and I finally decided it was best for Gizmo not to suffer any longer. It will always remain one of the hardest decisions any human being has to make for someone they love so dearly. Our lives are empty without him and we miss him so much. He was only 3 yrs. old and too young to have to endure this insidious disease.

I am so sorry ... Gizmo was beautiful. You gave him the greatest, and hardest, gift you could - freedom from pain. May the love you had for him soften the pain you're feeling.

RIP gorgeous fluffy Gizmo!

I'm very sorry - it's heartbreaking to lose one of your babies so young, to such a dreadful disease. , Gizmo.

My deep condolences...
RIP to Gizmo...

RIP, sweet Gizmo. Play happily with the butterflies at the Rainbow Bridge.

So very sorry for your loss.

Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and kind words. The first night after he had passed I thought I saw him out of the corner of my eye. I still cannot bring myself to take the blankets out of his carrier. One of them was the blanket we brought him home in as a kitten.

Beautiful Gizmo

May Gizmo live forever in your heart.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Gizmo was a beautiful kitty.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Gizmo
