Kitty update: Not good news

[fimbrethil]

Bobby tested negative for FIV and F-Luk but his kidney and liver functions were way off. The vet bathed him, deflead him and made him comfortable. He was alert when we picked him up this afternoon but declined rapidly and died about a half hour ago. I wish I had found him a couple of days earlier but I didn't. The vet and I did our very best but

He died warm and safe and cared for.

And in the end, that's what matters.

Right now, that's not very comforting. Not jumping on you at all, I get where you are coming from but I'm just pissed that he was too far gone. I really wish we could have saved him.

[kshandra]

I can totally see that perspective, too.

[fimbrethil]

Thanks for understanding. This has happened way more times than I would like. Like Ali says, they know where to go when it's time and that I do find a little comforting but I'd like to have a win or two among the losses.

Thank you.

[fimbrethil]

Thanks, Ali. Yes, they do. I am glad for that but you know.

Oh my. I'm sure he was happy to be comfortable.

[fimbrethil]

I hope so. He died warm and fed as opposed to outside and starving. Sometimes that's the best I can do.
