I know many of you wonderful folks have been keeping up with my little foster kittens, Kenzie & Keiko. I really appreciate that. As many of you know, Keiko suffered a series of seizures over a week ago and has yet to walk or have control over his bowels since then. I hate to bring such bad news today- but there are no good updates on Keiko...I took him to the vet yet again today in a last ditch effort to try every possible option. I asked him numerous questions including some that I recieved from several folks that pm'd me ideas. The vet said that at this point, little Keiko is too far gone to save.
I talked to the Bartlett Animal Shelter- and everyone up there was really sad aslo. I will be bringing him in tomorrow night to be pts....this is soo devistating. This will be the third foster kitten to pass away in less than a month- this really breaks my heart.
The first kitten came in with Kenzie & Keiko and died less than an hour of him being at my house- he was beaten to the point of death by two terrible boys....they killed his momma also. / Little lex- another ragdoll/ dlh mix i was fostering passed away last week from a horrible seizure...he had been to the vet and we all tried everything possible to save him. Now it looks like Keiko will have to be pts tomorrow- this is really breaking my heart- this is by far the worst aspect of fostering kittens.
At least Kenzie is looking good- at this point, she is keeping me going. Please keep Keiko in your prayers tonight- maybe he will miraculeously walk again tonight....that would be a miracle. At this point he seems to be in pain from his little legs, he can't walk...he can bairly crawl, and he can't even get into his litter pan or control his bowels- it's soo sad....to make things worse- he's eating really well and is very alert- so it's almost like a contridiction. I asked the vet about this and he said even though he looks good alert- wise and everything, he is really not...and he is in a lot of pain from his legs. They won't give him pain meds because it will interfear with the other meds he was on. At this point- several vets have said the humane thing to do would be to have him pts. Please send me some vibes or something for the little guy- i'm devistated and I just don't have the heart to take him to that appointment tomorrow- but i also dont want to watch him continue to suffer. If some of you could spare some ((((please walk soon vibes))))....or some other ones at this point that would be really helpfull. He is in soo much pain right now- i think that it is the only humane option at this point- we've tried everything else and he's been seen by numerous vets. Right now I feel like the worst foster mom ever....
