Oh Tad... I remember when I lost my Jazzy, every marginally successful
post I read that sounded like her condition, I'd cringe over. I was
happy that other people's cats were responding favorably to treatment,
but I just felt so bad that I hadn't tried more, or something else, or
anything else. Once they're gone, it's so darn final. You keep
thinking, if only I'd tried this, or what if that... I got through
that time by consoling myself with the fact that she was no longer
suffering, that I'd at least saved her from the possibility of a
difficult crossing. It was even harder for me because I felt like such
a chicken. I was so scared of putting my baby, (you remember she was
one of the original bottle babies), through any additional pain, that I
pts on the vet's strong recommendation. (Not my Internist, a GP vet
that I no longer use). I finally took pity on myself and realized I
was continuing to fret over her when it was no longer in my power to
change anything. She no longer needed my protection, she was safe in
the arms of the Angels. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that I think
I understand how you feel about this. I think we probably all do. Go cuddle one of your babies, (or two, or three) and remember all the good you do. Remember the trust that Leo and all the others put in you. They're not wrong. You are their savior. Blessings and love to you, Nina Tad Burnett wrote: <>Did somebody mention frustrated ??? I told her today of Spencer and very gently told her I wish we had at least tried something and she agreed... Anyway Nina's vet sounds a bit like mine in that she will go along with what we want if we insist and it sure looks to me that the dex is working for Spencer and now I wish that I had insisted on a heavier dose... Leo was about the same size as Spencer.. He was a bag of bones when I 1st got him and weighed 9.5 pounds then... He had gotten up to over 13 pounds.. I was worried that he was getting too heavy 6 months ago and then when we went to the vet this last time he had dropped to 10 pounds.. I didn't catch it for a while because he was going to his bowl and just tasting for a while but not getting much and I have several younger pigs that clean up any leftovers...

Thanks for the link, I'll get to it as soon as I stop putting out fires around here, probably around 2am. I tell you, I'm tired! |
