I feel a lot like Bob right now, it's hard to tell if we are making progress. I'm trying very hard to be patient but time is not on our side and it's difficult. Mo has been eating less and less every day and won't really lick the gel off anymore so I'm going to try the baby food today. With how

Thank you Bob, I appreciate your kind words, I'm so very sorry to hear that little Jelly passed. I'm thankful that you showed him such love and that surely outweighs the discomfort in the end. Mo is very weak and has lost control of his bladder or lacks the energy to try to get up to urinate. I

I have done this too, but I'm really hoping Mo can pass at home. His whole life was meds and surgeries and needles and clinics and shelters, I don't want his last moments to be the same. He left my bed in the night and had an accident on the floor. I have laid potty pads on his spot and put him

Mo's appetite hasn't improved and this morning I found him in my daughter's room laying in a puddle of his own urine. I gave him his buprenorphine but I am done forcing meds on this angel beyond comfort care. We were going to see the vet today for bloodwork, but I don't really see the point now.
