After 10 hard fought months battling advanced crf (chronic renal failure), Bones let me know that he was just too tired to fight anymore. I just couldn't put him through one more procedure. At the vet's office he just layed quietly while he was given an injection of Telazol to put him to sleep. I spent a few minutes holding him and talking to him as he drifted off. Then my vet applied a tourniquette and gave the final injection. I was holding him and it was very peaceful.
I miss him so much. We had 10 wonderful years together. He was a little "monster" in his younger years. I'll never forget the morning I woke up to a shredded loaf of bread all over my counter.
You see Bones was a starving "dumpster" kitten when we found him. That is how he got his name. Food was very important to him. When I couldn't get him to eat anything no matter how hard I tried, I knew it was time to let him go.
This is Bones hanging out in one of my closets just two days ago. This is pretty much what he did the last week of his life. Unfortunately I learned a lot treating CRF. If it happens again to one of my cats, I will be better prepared. I think I made mistakes treating Bones and it will haunt me forever.
I love you Bones and will miss you very much!!
