My cat JJ was diagnosed two weeks ago with Chronic Renal Failure and I've been a basket case since. This has to be one of the hardest things for me to watch my cat deal with this disease. He was diagnosed as a diabetic in October and it has been downhill since.
Monday, after being up with him all night I took him to the vet and he is now staying there and I'm visiting him three times a day. I'm feeling guilt leaving him there, but the vet is a personal friend and I know that she will look after him while I'm not there as will her staff. He is being allowed to stay in her office in a peaceful environment away from the other animals. But here is why I made the choice, I live alone, I'm a very nervous, emotional person. If JJ were to die during the night, I would be alone and I don't think I could handle it, I know I'd go bezerk. The arrangement with the vet seems to be working out for the both of us. As for me, I'm actually eating again, I stayed so upset that I could not eat, much less perform my job. Does this make me a bad fur mom?
I need some feedback on this issue from other cat lovers who are close to the end with their kitty.
Thanks,
