Teasle The Magnificent 1996 - 2009
Teasle helps me on the computer.
Originally uploaded by Sarah Mooring. My beautiful boy was put to sleep this evening. He wasn't responding to the drugs from the vet and was becoming increasingly distressed and growling when held even gently, which for a purr-filled snugglebug like he used to be was quite an alarming change.
I made the decision when he demonstrated that he was just too weak to make it to his litter tray, unlike recent days and was just going from bad to worse. He was on tablets for recently-diagnosed over-active thyroid, on steroids for a long-standing chest problem and on antibiotics for an infection that the vet thought he had. He took them all without complaint as long as they were suitably disguised and tried his best.
He was very much loved and will be very much missed.
