Dear my friend Bailey and Belinda,
Hi, Belinda, I just read your posting –
I am so very sorry to hear about Bailey – I am crying so very hard
reading to find out what happened. And I am crying also because I know how
difficult for you not to be able to hold Bailey.
But as you mentioned, he is free now..
there is nothing that prevents him from feeling good anymore – I know
that Bailey’s soul is right besides you and telling you not to be lonely
because you are not.. Bailey loved and and still loves you, and will always
love you just like you have, and do and will ----
I know that the pain of losing him is not
going to go away – but I will be praying that there will be a way for you
to be able to live with the pain a little easier in time – and that’s
what I pray for I lose mine…
Love to you and your beloved Bailey –
Hideyo

nothing I can say will ease your pain, but please know that you and that sweet
boy are in my prayers.

Bailey left us at 6:20
this evening. He took a bad turn for the
worse late last night and when I took him in this morning for his
surgery it was evident he wasn't in good enough shape. We gave him
fluids for a couple hours because he was dehydrated, his blood pressure
was 60 and his temperature went from 103 yesterday to 98 today, his
blood work was normal except his platelet count was low so he wasn't
clotting and suregery was out of the question unless we could get his
platelet count up. After two hours of fluids and a blood transfusion
his platelets came up but his temperature was now 94, 96 puts kitties at
risk for heart failure and she couldn't even get a blood pressure.
My vet said we have 3 options, we could continue the fluids and support
and see if things changed and if they did he could have the surgery
tomorrow.
Go ahead with the surgery and get in and out as quickly as possible or
she could euthanise him.
I asked her what she honestly thought of his condition, she said she
though he was leaving on his own, I agreed. We talked, I asked her what
to expect if he was going to die and she told me what the likely
scenarios would be, she gave me a syringe of pain meds incase it got
really bad for him, it would basically knock him out so he wouldn't
suffer and pass on his own, she had a dinner engagement but told me to
call if she was needed. I had told Bailey it was his decision to stay
or go, and told him to do what was best for him. I brought him home on
the fluids to keep supporting him and if he did turn for the better we
would consider the surgery later. His breathing got worse just taking
him to the car so I knew in my heart we didn't have long.
We had about an hour, he was home with us and we were with him when he
left. He is whole now and FeLV free for the first time. We were so
lucky to have him for 11 years, his birthday was Monday. I will miss
his bouncy, happy personality. He was so special and I learned so much
thanks to him. He was our only positive and the one that was
responsible for my learning everything I have about FeLV+, he has helped
me save many positives and for that I thank him. I miss my little
Baidely boys so much already ... take care all. Give your special guys
and extra special hug for Bailey.
