I just lost my best friend 1 week ago today. I am still so hurt, mad, and upset about this loss. He was truly my best friend! I adopted him 3 years ago tomorrow. He did most everything with me. He loved reading books and watching movies with me. This holiday weekend has been hard since that is most of waht I have done.
He was declawed at the begining of June and at that time, he was diagnosed as a diabetic. However after finding support and advice from another form, I decided to home test him and just watch him. I never did give him a shot once I got him home. His sugars and urine testing were all normal. A week ago Thursday, I noticed he was breathing with a twitch and was not eating as much. I just thought he had a cold as so did I. I watched him and Saturday morning he was not doing any better and I took him to the vet and they diagnosed with with pneumonia and sent him home on antibodic. Now I am blaming myself that I did not make them keep him and put him on fluids. So we went home and I kept a very close eye on him. He did not get any better so Sunday morning I took him to the emergency vet where they admitted him to the ICU.
He was put on IV antibodics, fulids and breathing treatments, while also in a oxygen tent. I checked on him about every hour until midnight, when I called he was doing much better, his breathing was down from 180 breaths per min to 70. I was so glad that he was doing better, so I went to bed. Then at 2:30 am, they called me and told me that he was gone.
I am not sure if I could of done something different or not. I am still having a hard time coping. Most of the people that know me and who knew JC are thinking that I am crazy because "he was just a cat". I am taking this harder than I took my miscarrage last month. I had JC here for 3 years and I never met the baby that I lost.
Thank you all for allowing me to tell this. I think that I can start the healing process now that I have found this form and have read all the supporting words that you all have offered.
I have adopted 2 new kittens to help fill the void that is in my house. So that may help as well.
Thank you all!
