I am so very sorry that Scooter has left
us – I feel your loss and your pain. You have a wonderful vet, Peggy –
and she is absolutely right – he is free from the body which gave him
some limitations to do all the things he wanted to do – now he can –please
also know that his soul is right there besides you forever.. Love to you and Scooter, Hideyo From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of Peggy Ankney Our little baby wasn’t strong enough to hold on over the
weekend. The vet called yesterday to say that his condition had worsened. He
was no longer responding to their petting or holding him, and didn’t even
stand up during the examination, and seemed to be in much more pain. She had
given him more pain medicine and he was basically out of it. I asked about the
dex cocktail, and she said his kidneys were even more enlarged and felt hard
and she didn’t think it would help at this point. My husband and I
didn’t want him to continue to suffer, so we decided to let him go. We
are comforted by the fact that he did find us, as he would have likely starved
to death from the mass in his mouth, so at least we were able to help him
finish this life in comfort and warmth. We only had him for a couple months
but this little fellow really worked his way into our hearts, and the house
seems so much quieter now. But I am so grateful to him for teaching us so much
about this virus, and should another stray kitty come to us we will know a
little more about what to do. I requested a post-mortem in case they can learn
anything more about his condition and if there is useful information I’ll
post it. We’re going to bury him in the back yard sometime this week.
Our vet was wonderful and said that we should envision him in his healthy 7
pound body running around free of pain. Thanks to all of you who have helped
us through this difficult time. Prayers for all the kitties still fighting
this disease, and to all of the compassionate caregivers working so hard to
help them. |
