Minnie is my best friend. I am twenty four and she is nineteen so we have been together for most of my life. She has fallen sick and I fear nearing end. At the end of April she was sick and not eating and I took her to the vet and we gave her antibiotics and thyroid cream and she pulled through happy and eating 2 cans a day and even ate one bird. Then in the middle of June practically overnight she was sick again. I took her to the vet and she said I could give her antibiotics for ten days or put her down as she would likely dye a slow death and nautilus death from kidney failure. I expecting the vet to suggest putting her down. I put her on the antibiotics but if I don't see a difference I could not stand to let her suffer. Both times I put Minnie on antibiotics was heart breaking because she hated them and she would avoid me under the house or deep under the bed, she won't let me give it to her and I have to force her which makes her not trust me at all. I feel awful and wanted to stop but knew the infection would poison her. Last time was a success but I don't know that she will pull though as she isn't eating. I am so sad and so selfish as I could hardly bare putting her down, nor can bare to watch her slowly die, nor can I stomach waking up and her not being alive, or dying in bed with me like her mother did. If I take her off the antibiotics she might forgive me as she did last time but that is completely giving up after four doses and while I think I should I am finding that hard too. I wish I could just wake up and she would be eating and showing signs of feeling better. Despite all she still purrs a lot from a distance. She wouldn't really let me touch her except overnight when she knows I am not going to medicate her. It is only a tiny pill once a day. Any comments or suggestions appreciated
