My heart is broken

I am so upset..... devistated!
I had to put my sweet baby girl down last night.
This pain is unbearable.

I want her back with me...... I love her so much.

Out of the blue, one day she is fine, next day kidney faliure........ She spent four days at the emergency vet, one at a critical care vet getting dialysis...... nothing worked to restore her one kidney function. (she only had one kidney.... it was discovered while in the hospital)


A big hole is in my heart.
And feel I had to tell someone, someone/someothers who know the dispair of losing their precious baby.

I can't even include my signature, because it was "our" Christmas signature.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I truly, deeply believe we see them again someday.

I'm so sorry to hear of your terrible loss..we are all here to listen and offer support

I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss.

I'm so sorry. Your thread brought tears to my eyes.

I am so sorry for what happened to you and you cat. I had the same experience in July when I lost my soulmate cat Max to kidney failure. He was the healthiest one of my three cats. He got sick on Thursday and after the weekend at the vet's office, we had to part with him on Monday. It hurts, and my heart hurts for you, having had the very same experience so recently.
Cry all you want to, it helps. One thing I did was to write a story about Max and his life with us for twelve years. Life will never be the same without him, but I am trying to love my two remaining cats with all that is within me. I have considered getting a new cat to see if that helps, but so far, I haven't done that. Right now, I have a friend trying to give me a young black and white tuxedo cat who looks just like Max. I am so mixed up about it because I wonder if it would just be a constant reminder of Max. So for now, I am on hold.
You just remember, we hurt with you. I am so sorry.

Thank you all so very much for your kindness and loving words. It means a lot to know others understand the unbearable pain I am feeling.

Bugaboo, thank you for sharing your story. It's haunting how simaliar our experiences was/is.

I am so completely distroyed emotionally right now.

I forgot to click the box to not have my Happy Holiday signature. My holidays are anything BUT happy right now.

My sweet Rocky girl is the second from the right.

Bless her little heart

Theres never a good time for something like this to happen, but it always seems to be worse being so near to christmas

But your little girl is well over the bridge by now and suffering no more, and you will see each other again some day

RIP Rocky, enjoy yourself over the bridge with all your new friends

I am so sorry about Rocky. It is so heartbreaking to lose our four legged children. I lost Bubba last year to cancer at this time. One day he was healthy the next it was deadly. I am losing his mother Mort to kidney failure and it hurts so bad to see them in a decline... We have been helping her along for 6 months with sub-q's, and each day I have with her is 1 more cherished day... I hate being at work thinking that she is dying at home....

I hate saying goodbye to my little soul mates. We out live them and it is the cycle of life.. I have to think of it in the sense that I was able to complete their life cycle with them, and I know that they were always loved, and never went without food and a loving home..

My thoughts and prayers are with you,

Kim

KittenKiya's Clan extends it's deepest sympathy to you for your loss. Our Clan lost Kahli in October with the same thing.

Sorry headbuts and sad, sad licks.

RIP little darlin... play happily at the bridge and know how much your Mom misses you & loves you

Condolences on your loss.
The holidays are hard -remembering family and four legged family that are no longer with us. I still miss Indika, she would have loved the tree. She would have been ripping the edges of any Christmas gifts with tissue paper, she loved thin crinkly paper. she would have loved the company that is coming on Christmas day. Losing them so close to Christmas is harder stiil, we had to put her down just two weeks ago. Like yours, we had little warning, she was throwing up a lot of hairballs (so we thought) and I was trying to treat the hairballs. Then I noticed she was losing weight and realized she wasn't eating... took her to the vet, had an x-ray and exam, and she had a cancerous tumour on her pancreas. He said it was most likely inoperable and that she would starve to death within a week as it was squeezing her stomach closed, so we put her down the next day to save her suffering.

Thank you all so much for sharing your loving support and heartbreaking stories. NOT that I want anyone to experience this devistation. It is comforting to know that I am not alone in my deep grief.. that many of you too know the intense heartache I am feeling.

It validates..... how real the pain is.

I miss my "mommy girl" with every fiber of my being, and cry so much.
And feel so guilty, that I should have known something was wrong somehow before it became fatal.

((((Donna Fay)))) Please don't blame yourself!! Things like this come on so suddenly, I'm sure the outcome would have been the same. It's clear you loved her with all your heart and would have done anything to save her. She knew that too!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you on this sad Christmas. A few years ago I adopted a little black stray kitty I named Moses. He was so sweet and loving and adorable. Then I noticed he was getting wobbly when he walked. I took him to the vet but it only got worse. Long story short...turned out he had Feline Infectious Peritonitis, probably born with it. There was nothing the vets could do; they said the kindest thing would be to put him to sleep, since he would only get worse and worse.

I had to have sweet Moses put to sleep four days before Christmas. I cried til there were no tears left. I felt like I had failed him so horribly. It still hurts, but I know now that I really had no other choice. It would have been cruel to let him suffer and die when there was no treatment and no cure for that cruel disease.

Please remember the love that you and your Rocky shared. That love and that bond will never die. Your sweet girl is now in a place of boundless joy and love where she will be waiting for you. She understands that you made the only decision you could, and that you did it out of love, because you couldn't bear to see her suffer. She's grateful that you loved her enough to let her go. She will be waiting for her meowmy, to greet her with happy headbutts and tell her all about her wonderful adventures over the Bridge!

God bless you and your other babies. RIP, sweet Rocky, you know you will see your Meowmy again someday.

I know this will be a hard Christmas for you. But please take comfort in the fact that your beloved Rocky is in a happy place where she will always be safe. And she will wait for you, for that joyous reunion someday. And I promise, someday you will be able to think of her with smiles as well as tears.

Sending you warm *hugs* and wishing you peace and joy. Rocky was very lucky to have someone who loved her so much. God bless.

I am so very sorry for your loss.

The holidays are difficult when we are dealing with these things. We lost Sunni in June. It was very sudden, a death caused by otc flea medication. Unfortunately, we were on vacation, so my baby suffered without me by her side. It was so very hard to come home and deal with all of it.

As someone said, we all hurt with you. Rocky has passed on, but she will never forget your love and devotion. RIP Rocky, sweet girl.

I am so sorry for you loss. I too know the pain. I just lost my little boy Oliver, he some how got out of the house without anyone noticing. We searched for four days, but it was too late. He had already been killed. He was such a sweet cat, and I feel horrible for how he died.

I am so sorry that you are having to go through this too. Many hugs!
