My Heart Is Broken
So, Neechee made it through being abandoned at 4 days old, epileptic seizures, and a virus that nearly killed him last month, but it may just be his liver that takes him down.
I noticed he had a yellow tint to him, and took him to the vet yesterday. Yellow kitty is a bad thing, he is in liver failure.... Even with the most aggressive treatment, the chances of him turning around are slim. So he's at the kitty hospital right now (gonna go visit him in a few) and will be there for a while. He's not eating, drinking, or defecating. He has lost a third of his body weight in less than a month (went from 12lbs to 8lbs). He is so frail and sickly, they have his whole front leg shaved for his IV, and is just stuck in this little cage. I just want to snuggle him....
Needless to say, I'm a fucking wreck. I could barely make it through last night without him, I have no idea what I will do if I lose him. I know he's just a cat, but we have such a bond, I adore that little thing so much. I have this knot in my stomach that won't go away.
This sucks!
