The vet checked Mylo for a heart beat and told us Mylo had passed. My spouse

Mylo a kiss on his head as that was my favourite place to kiss him. It was 
difficult as we walked out of the room and I looked back at his motionless 
body. It hurt to leave him there. When we got home we talked a lot about 
Mylo. I cleaned out his litter box and put his dishes in the dishwasher. I 
slept with the blanket that I took him to the vet in. It was difficult for 
us to fall asleep. Even though I knew what we did was right for Mylo because 
of the state he was in, I just wanted him back. In the end, I tried my best

Mylo was exactly where he was supposed to be..with people who loved 
him and cared for him even after his body left this earth.  He is always 
close and very grateful for the love and attention.

Chris, I too went through that, too much times... and every time,
one just cannot believe it hurts so much, and to bear it once more seems
impossible... but...
Today, while I was at the vet's with Rompi, there was a lady with a
black kitty, female, two years old, with asthma... she was black with
a small white whiff under her neck... she was just so MAGIC, with that
look in her eyes, so tender... the look of "the good cat". I was about to
steal her right there! :) In that moment I understood that,
notwithstanding anything, it's impossible to live without cats, and that
the horrible, exhausting experience of "letting them go" is the toll for
what we have received from them during their life. We could discuss if
that toll is fair or too high, but that's it.

P.S. I'm going to call the vet's to ask when the black kitty with asthma
is scheduled next time... ;)

You're right. I wouldn't have given him up to avoid the pain of losing him. 
I try to remind myself that I gave him as much love as I could. I'm sure he 
knew that, as I often cuddled him when he wanted to squirm out of my loving 
grip. But when he was ready to come to me, on his terms...then it was okay 
to hug himfunny.

i read something once that really struck me--oddly enough, it was in
an ann landers or dear abby column

it was whether we would give up the joy we've shared with a loved one
if it meant being spared the pain of losing them. looked at that way,
there's no question for me--nor for anyone i've ever talked with--that
the answer is "no." it is ALWAYS hard to say goodbye, even when we
know it means peace for the one who's gone on, those left behind will
always hurt. another, sort of kitschy, but sweet thing that i've heard
is that the intense pain of a critter's passing is just their clawing
their permanent space into our hearts

they come to US, instead of to someone else, for a reason--because
there is something only we can give them, and because there is
something we need to learn that only they can teach us. i can't prove
this, i just KNOW it. sometimes i feel guilty, because i think the
furry ones who have blessed my life, be it for hours or years, have
given me far more than i could possibly have given them.

you gave mylo love, food, a roof over his head, the best medical care
that you could provide, and a gentle passage surrounded by those who
cared for him. think of how many humans cannot say that about their
last days. your gifts to him were priceless, and he knows it.

Subject: Mylo's Passing


Thank you all for your support. I took Mylo to his vet appointment 
yesterday. I was nervous with a pit in my stomach. Mylo seemed subdued, 
almost like he knew why he was there and that he was ready to let go. His 
little frail body lay on a blanket on the metal table. His head still up. 
The vet gave him a sedative to relax him and within 10 minutes it had shown 
it's effect on Mylo. His tiny head slowly drooped down to where his nose was 
touching the blanket he lay on. My spouse and I continuously stroked Mylo's 
head, neck and paws. The vet came back in to administer the leathal needle. 
The vet checked Mylo for a heart beat and told us Mylo had passed. My spouse 
and I stayed with Mylo privately in the room.  We said our goodbyes and gave 
Mylo a kiss on his head as that was my favourite place to kiss him. It was 
difficult as we walked out of the room and I looked back at his motionless 
body. It hurt to leave him there. When we got home we talked a lot about 
Mylo. I cleaned out his litter box and put his dishes in the dishwasher. I 
slept with the blanket that I took him to the vet in. It was difficult for 
us to fall asleep. Even though I knew what we did was right for Mylo because 
of the state he was in, I just wanted him back. In the end, I tried my best 
to help him. I loved him and cared for him like he was my child.

Chris, I am so sorry to hear about your sweet Mylo. 
We don't want to let them go and yet we don't want to
see them suffer.  Your story reminded me of my dog
Shelby when I had to take her about 45 mnts. from home
to see if the University of Tennessee Vet Hospital
could do anything for her.  She was a big dog and I
had her up front with me.  Her backside was paralyzed.
 She just loved the ride down there looking out the
window.  In the end nothing could be done for her and
I had to make that terrible decision.  It was months
and months before I could drive back by that Hospital.
 I know you and your spouse's hearts are broken.  You
loved Mylo so much that you put an end to the pain.  I
know Mylo appreciated that and all the love you and
your spouse gave.

Mylo's Passing

2007-01-31 Thread Chris Ramzy

Dear Belinda and Wendy,
Mylo was given fluids by the vet through a needle and through IV. As well, I 
placed water in front of him until he drank and I shot water down his throat 
with a syringe. Hydrating Mylo was one thing but there were so many other 
diseases inside Mylo that he needed so much more than hydration. He needed a 
cure and sadly there is no cure for all his ailments: FeLV, lymphoma, 
possible liver disease, inflamed kidneys etc. He barely moved and barely 
ate. He was not happy. This went on for a month as I tried to find him some 
sort of solution to his deteriorating heath. He was not happy and it broke 
my heart to see him like that although I didn't want to let him go.

Hi Chris,

Last year I learned to do subQ fluids after my kitty
Julie was diagnosed hyperT, and I've done it on two
other of my kitties who got sick since then.  It's
pretty easy, although I was scared at first to learn,
because I didn't want to hurt my furbaby.  Julie gets
200cc a week because of her health, and it makes so
much of a difference for her.  If you want the
company's info. that I order from, I will get it to
you.  They are good and fairly inexpensive.  But if
you don't feel there's much time left, at the very
least, I agree with Belinda, that getting your vet to
give Mylo fluids would be very compassionate of you.
Dehydration makes kitty feel horrible.
