Yesterday was a sad day. I had to make the hardest decision and put my 6yr old cat Isis down.![]()
In the blink of an eye Isis had started to lose alot of weight rapidly. She was a healthy, active 16lbs cat. A loner when it came to the other cats and dogs, but would love on me. She had hidden herself under the stairs and when I pulled her out she was very skinny and boney. He complexion was yellow overnight and I knew it was her liver.
I took her to the vet immediately. She had lost 6lbs in a matter of days. She stayed there for three days while they ran lots of blood test and tube fed her as she would not eat or drink.
He liver was failing her. When I went to see her yesterday, she jumped(litterally) into my arms and buried her head into my chest and arms. She let out a painful meow and then went limp. She lost control of her bladder and started to drool. She wouldn't lift her head...she just cuddled into me. It was my last hug from her.
The vet prepared her needle and I held her close and told her I loved her and to let go. She was gone before he was even finished injecting her. This was a sudden and unexpected tragedy and I am crushed. I put a memorial to her on my facebook and she has gone to be creamated. Hubby is building her a memorial box to keep her ashes in and my Pa is having her picture and name put on a plaque to go on her box. Money has been tight, and my Pa graciously paid for her vet bill and creamation. I don't know what I do without him.
Here is a pic of my Isis who if only her for a short time, forever left her hefty footprints in my heart. And through my thoughts and heart shall she wander, may she be as loved in her next life as she was in this one.
