Hi All,
Just so you know
ahead of time, I may be putting Angel down tomorrow. He is just
getting more and more uncomfortable. I'll wait to see how he is in the
morning but I'm not expecting anything except that maybe he might not
make it through the night.
For Jonathan, since you
haven't seen him in a while, he stopped eating about 6 days ago, had a
fever. He has taken two rounds of antibiotics with no help. His blood
work was good except for just slight anemia. He now is so weak (living
on just subcutaneous fluids that i administer every day) that I have to
take him to the box to urinate, and today he defecated on himself
because he couldn't get there. He is constantly nauseous with a lot of
drooling, so he might be in liver failure. He is also having labored
breathing now. He's 12 or 13 but has had some health problems over the
years and had a rough start in life but at least he didn't have to live
like the feral cats and fight to survive every day. I personally think
that he even is taking the dying part like a trooper.
So,
if you can't say goodbye in person, you can say it in spirit. Ashley
probably said her goodbye today when she picked Jacob up.
He may not have been an angel at first, but he sure turned out to be an angel amongst all our cats. He was our pet therapy cat.
He
will be remembered for Jenalee giving him walks outside, sleeping with
Ashley and Alison and Jenalee and love from Jonathan, as well as me
taking him in for a good home and no more trying to find food every day,
and most importantly, getting neutered that helped change his behavior
to an angel along with all the Brink's love.
He almost, and
should have, died one year ago and was about to get the death shot, so I
guess that was his 8th life. This must be the 9th. He is the
strongest and toughest cat I have ever had.
love, mom xxoo
