As many of you know, I just buried my beautiful baby girl Chloe yesterday.
Last night Berach appeared to be breathing heavily, it was barely noticeable. In fact everyone thought I was imagining it and I was overacting because of Chloe. I called the vet, but they were closing and I didn't get a chance to talk to a vet. It didn't appear to be an emergency so I waited and took him to the vet today. He was OBVIOUSLY breathing hard when I got home from work so I took him a little early.
The Dr. took xrays and told me that his chest cavity is full of a foreign substance, most likely fluid, and that it is crushing his lungs. They were very candid in telling me that they don't see this turning around for him.
He was fine a couple days ago... and now I'm afraid, and the Dr.'s are afraid, that Berach has FIP also. Right now they are doing a chest stick to check the contents but it doesn't look good.
I've cried some but I'm mostly just numb. I just spent weeks and thousands of dollars trying to nurse Chloe back to health. I'm so stressed I can't breathe. I'm not ready to do this again.
Please pray for Berach. please... my little fur family is dying around me...
I'm devastated, words cannot describe how I'm feeling.
To top it all off my sister met a lady today who's kitten (same age as my kittens) died TODAY of FIP. and guess what... she got him from the same rescue I got my babies from... this is just the worst thing ever.
ever...
