DBF and I lost Memphis yesterday to a lower urinary tract disease. He was a Persian apparently this is the #1 killer in male Persians. His body was rejecting the meds and the only other option was a surgery with a 9% success rate and a lifetime of suffering and infections to follow. DBF really regrets putting him to sleep but we both realize that it was the only way.
We both cried all last night and I have been crying all morning. I don't see how we'll ever feel better but I know we will. Memphis was only 3 years old and is survived by his brother Caesar who is also a Persian, and his step brothers, who are my cats, Sebastian and Amadeus. I know they won't miss him because they weren't yet living with him but we are a little worried about Caesar. We are just trying to love on him a lot and cuddle him. Hopefully he won't get depressed. He is always loving and affectionate so right now we can't tell a difference in his behavior.
How do you deal with this?? How do you control the emotions and the feelings when you think about all of the little cute things your furry babies did that made them special? It just sucks a whole lot, we are going to bury him after work today.
It is really reassuring to see this forum and know that lots of people are going through the same thing and feeling the same feelings.
