    Default well, fuck

    I'm leaving for the vet in about an hour to be with my kitty while they put her to sleep. She's been in the clinic since Sunday night with a raging UTI infection. She was looking so much better yesterday, even managing to go off of her IV and walk around some and drink some water on her own. But today she is ten times worse and is in full blown diabetic ketoacidosis. I've already spent about $1000 on her over the past 2 weeks, and as much as I'd like to, I absolutely cannot afford 1000-1500 more.

    She's on painkillers right now until a friend can get here to take me to her. There is no way I'm going to be able to drive after
    that. My heart is broken.

    So sorry to hear about this...

    It's been years now since I lost the last kitty that was exclusively mine--and I still miss her. I even dream about her sometimes.

    Whenever I drive by the last place I saw her, I get sad (she jumped out of the car and hid in a big wild lot, and wouldn't come out--they tell me she was ready to die and they do that sometimes when they get that old).

    She looks like a very sweet kitty, and I know you'll be upset and miss her--but at least she had an attentive, caring owner, and no doubt a happy kitty life while she was with you.

    She's adorable. Lucky to have had a caring, loving owner to spoil her throughout her life. Good luck in this hard time, and give her a big kitty hug for all of us SWers.

    I'm so sorry for you. Try to be brave, kiss her, hug her, tell her it's alright to go and that you'll be fine. I honestly believe that our pets go to Heaven. Our pets love us unconditionaly, trust us completly and bring us so much joy. How can God deny them paradise when they are the ones who truly do what God expects us to do without even having to ask.

    Liz,

    I am so sorry to hear about this. Our pets our are dearest friends and members of the family, and it is so hard to have to deal with their passing. I've always owned cats, and a few years ago, I had to put one of my babies to sleep also...I don't think I've ever cried as hard as I did when I had to do that.

    What made me at peace with it is looking at her photograph on desk next to her urn, and knowing she's in a place where fish fall from the sky, catnip grows in fields, and milk spills from fountains....


    Hugs, big hugs
    Ava

    thanks everyone. it went really fast, about 2 seconds after the stuff went into her catheter she laid her head down and that was it. she was so doped up on morphine i don't think she even realized i was there. i keep going into my bedroom where she should be sprawled on my bed mussing up my clean sheets, but she's not.

    Believe me, Hun.. She knew you were there, even with all the drugs. You gave her a very good life, and you were there for her when she needed you the most.

    My Sympathies to you again. She'll always be with you.

    Wow.. how old is/was she ?? Mine is 13 years old. I demanded that she not die until she is the ripe ol age of 20 yrs because I would have hit 30 by then and (hopefully) will be in a position where I will be able to 'survive' her death.

    Regardless of how she is going to die, I am going to be an absolute utter wreck! She has been the only constant in those 13 years (friends come and go) and been through alot with me... I'm getting teary now at the thought of it.

    You have my condolences. Really you do.

    Take a week off from your life (if possible) and just grieve. Grief may be selfish however it is healthy. Unless you are one of those people who cannot grieve (I've met a few).

    I know what you mean! I was so upset when we had to put my dog, Sam, to sleep. She was 15...I'd had her since I was 6. Since I'm an only child, it was super hard to lose her (since she was pretty much my "best bud" since childhood). It gets better after a while, though- it just takes time.

    These threads always make me cry.
    I wish you love and good memories. Putting down a friend is always heartbreaking even if it is for their best.

    I'm off to go sob.

    You poor thing. You have my heartfelt condolences. I had a cat that had FIV and had to be put down, and it killed me. Just know Precious is peaceful now.

    Sweetheart, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Your cat was so beautiful and I'm sure she will be missed.

    I was really worried about her diabetic state when you posted the original thread; ketoacidosis is a nightmare that even the best-trained owners of diabetic cats dread. That's why I posted the link to . I almost lost my cat to a hideous keotoacidotic state induced by some damn infection I couldn't detect and it took a team of vets three days in intensive care to bring him back.

    What they don't tell you is that the final costs can really be astronomical (as much as 5 times more than they quoted you) but it's really not even about the money -- it's about luck. You could easily spend all the money in the world and still lose the cat. It happened to me with another stray cat with heart disease that I adopted off the streets.

    I know how painful this is and I am so very sorry.
