Tuesday 11/5/2013 8:00AM My cat isn't eating or going to the bathroom and is laying around crying

[juliepierce]

Yes he does have bloody urine on him. I have pedialyte and gerber meat n gravy. I'm almost home to give it to him.

 

[juliepierce]

No they didn't give him fluids. The vet says he needs to stream pee not dribble by Monday and it could be bad if he doesn't eliminate

Sammy isn't even moving now... it is both sad and frighening. 


I don't know what else to do..

and this is Matt's cat.  He cares for him deeply.. He just does stupid stuff sometimes. 

We cannot afford to take him to the hospital 

Yes he does have bloody urine on him.

Sharing our lives with cats and taking on the responsibility to be their caretakers means doing right by them when they get sick whether you can afford it or not. Your cat is in extreme pain and distress at this point and I am sorry he will have to suffer until Monday. If it is sad and frightening to you, I can only imagine what he is enduring at this moment. No one here can help you other than to tell you to get your cat to an ER vet tonight.

I came home to give him food and pedialyte and he's gone! I'm devastated!!!!!

Okay - I feel so concerned for the guy, this is so out of my league. Still, when you are with him and giving him fluid/soft, small meals endeavor to keep your anxiety in check. These creatures are emotional sponges... if you can't keep your anxiety in check, just speak softly and cooingly (is that a word?), and imagine yourself stroking him gently and with love (I figure he is in too much pain to want to be touched).

When they are not hiding it, then they are in considerable pain... but their pain isn't like our pain. It is simply, well, pain with an instinctive response to draw all energy resources in to deal with it. What I'm saying is that animals do not experience fear (of death) in association with pain, so don't you go putting that fear into his energy field. Should it go in that direction, well, because there is no fear, to an animal it is a lot like going to sleep - and so comforting them at that time is even more important.

So I've already directed healing energy, which will empower whatever process is appropriate for his little spirit. Help him through either healing or transition... love is the way, check your fear at the front door.

Oh, I'm so sorry I've been keeping an eye on this thread and was hoping for the best . You've had so many hard times, I can't even imagine what you and your fiancé are feeling. Give those other fuzzy kids big healing hugs!

 So So sorry for Sammy's passing! How terrible....

 

[lbailey]

Yeah, I came back to ask how Sammy was doing... my heart sank when I saw he was gone. It is really hard to watch these creatures suffer, is there any insight to what caused his ailment? I feel for you.... and Sammy.

So sorry for your's and Matt's loss. It is devestating when we lose a pet that we have shared our lives with. My thoughts are with you guys

 

[my-boy-jasper]

I'm so sorry for you and Matt

 Give all your animals extra hugs.

 

[juliepierce]

Thanks everyone.  I thought I could save Sammy.  I should have kept him at the ER.  I'm upset that the vet didn't tell me to admit him.  She said the meds should work.. Poor Sammy.  He used to play hide and seek with me.  He would wait for me 'til I came out of the shower then he would put his front paws on me so I would hold him so he would soak up my heat.  He was such a good cat.  He was too young to go.  I will miss him so much!!!!!!

I'm so very sorry.
