September's not doing so well.. by Talathia

somethings wrong with her, and i don't know what to do. i wish someone else was here to make this decision....

her kidneys are more than likely failing.

and i do not have the means or the money, or the heart to force her through that kind of life style change at her age. just to keep her alive because we can't let go.

:(

i can't do this. she is my rock. she's been my constant companion and pillow and rock and best friend for the past 12 years. she's my first cat. she's my baby. my little hell spawn :C miss temby.

    :( i am so sorry, this is such a hard thing to go though. i know that it sounds terrible, but sometimes the best thing to do for them is to let go, so they do not have to suffer. i never got the chance to do that for dorian because he had a stroke, so i had no choice in the matter, but i'm sure she would not blame you if you eased her pain...still, it is something you have to decide yourself, and i know its hard. message me later if you need to talk. i'm around somewhere.

    you could do an indiegogo and try raising money to take her into the vet for help? but even then, kidney failure isnt easy... but maybe its just an infection. cats get UTIs pretty frequently. and indiegogo is really good about raising money for pets and stuff.

    but if thats not possible, i completely feel for you man. sometimes i lay awake at night overwhelmed with the fear and horror of what it'll be like when ren finally dies. cats live so long that you almost forget they're not always going to be with you.

    i sincerely hope it's just a UTI or something and sept starts feeling better soon...

      she perked up a lot since this morning, the vets are gonna maybe give her another found of anti antibiotics.
      gonna check out indiegogo when I wake up mores...or am sober. I have no idea what to even ask for right now, current bill is about 240. (that includes her rabies shot earlier last week.)
      I looked into places where I can have her pts... the spca is the only one who is "affordable" to me.. everywhere else is 200+ for that and cremation (I wanna keep her askes ;;) and I hate thinking about that, when I was making the calls I kept choking up and would sob afterwards, ugly sobs and now my allergies are shot ><... What super bugs me is I can't be with her in the spca when she's pts... everywhere else I can... ><

      If it IS her kidneys I just wanna make her as comfortable as possible until its time... she's active now and not acting all acey and odd like she was this morning.
      Its just.
      :C Cats. Rambling babble.

      On a light side my doc gave me some tranqs so I can uh, not feel too much. I'm going home for a week, so it's either she shows vast signs of improvement by Thursday. Or I make a choice... Or we see how she does while I'm gone (I have a trusted friend watching her) and make a choice when I get back. My dad was even.... kind of getting weepy when I mentioned I'm considering pts for her if this doesn't change.... hopefully she'll keep getting betters :<

      Better, shes made a full recovery :3, a lot has happened since this post though... but yeah she's fine now. We just had a battle royal a few seconds ago over seeing if her harness still fit 8| and she got me good.
