Nina,
I'm so sorry you lost Jazz. I know you miss her so much. : (

The day we all dread came for Jazz and our family today. My beautiful
girl has gone to join her brother Flash and sister, Molly. She had been
sick for the last couple of weeks and hadn't eaten for the last three
days and her breathing had become fast and shallow. I brought her in to
my GP vet this morning to get sub q fluids for her. During his exam, he
became concerned about the faintness of her heartbeat. We took xrays
and it wasn't good. Her lungs were pressed against her trachea, her
heart was enlarged, and her liver deformed. So, you see, all the Dox
and VO in the world wouldn't have helped. This came on so suddenly. My
first indication that something was wrong came about a month ago when I
noticed her sitting in the same spot, just staring into space. Then,
about three weeks ago she didn't respond to my call and scared the heck
out of me until I discovered her sitting in a corner of the garage, (all
my babies come when I call, this was very unusual behavior for her),
then the signs of anemia began. The last week has been the worst, more
and more lethargy, less and less of my sweet Jazz's joy of life. Today,
before we went to the vet, she looked at me and I swear I heard her say,
Mom, I love you, but please don't force any more medicine or food on me.
She'd lost 2 lbs over the last month and when I picked her up she'd be
like a limp doll in my arms. Still, I never expected this morning to be
the last morning we'd share.
I'm so sad, so tired, in way too much disbelief, given the
circumstances. I just can't believe my beautiful girl with the glamor
tail won't be bugging me anymore when I make myself a cup of tea. She
used to somehow know when I'd reach for the box and come running out of
nowhere begging for the balled up tea wrapper to chase around the front
room. Who's going to jump on my lap when I'm fresh out of the shower
for a warm, humid, love session? Who will be nice to Kimba Cat now? My
beautiful, naughty, sweet loving girl is gone. She just turned 18 months.
