RIP Sesame 2006-2011
Sesame had to be put down this morning. The last couple of days he had been vomiting a lot and stopped eating. Last night he seemed really out of it, his temp was really low and he wouldn't move. This morning I took him to the vet and we did some bloodwork. His kidney enzymes were off the chart and he was in acute renal failure. The vet said that it was likely congenital and that something triggered it (stress, who knows what). His kidneys were large and abnormally shaped. He was an indoor only cat with no access to toxins, but I don't know his history other than the few weeks he spent at the shelter.
I only had him for about 2 months, so I am sad but we never really fully bonded so I am not as heart crushed as I was with HoneyBoy. Needless to say, we've lost three pets in the last year. We are taking a break from animals.
