I am so sorry for your loss - I just had to euthanize one of our cats last week....it never gets easier, as some people who don't understand seem to think! I remember every cat, dog, bird, mouse we ever had....detailed circumstances, etc. - like a video going off in my mind! Natalie
I Am Always With Her And God asked the feline spirit, "Are you ready to come home?" "Oh, yes, quite so," replied the precious soul, "And, as a cat, you know I am most able to decide anything for myself." "Are you coming then?" asked God. "Soon," replied the whiskered angel, "But I must come slowly, for my human friend is troubled For, you see, she needs me, quite certainly." "But doesn't she understand?" asked God, "That you'll never leave her? That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity? That nothing is created or destroyed? It just is....forever and ever and ever." "Eventually she will understand," replied the glorious cat, "For I will whisper into her heart that I am always with her, I just am....forever and ever and ever." -----Original Message----- From: felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Claudia Veiga Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 5:41 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: [Felvtalk] My cat Cheshire crossing over My sweet, beautiful little Cheshire crossed the rainbow bridge last Wednesday night. She had only been sick for less than 10 days. She was on antibiotics and some pred for 10 days for gum problems. I was going to schedule her for a cleaning in a few weeks, but her health seemed to decline a few days after that. She started hiding under the bed, and not eating, when seh came out, I saw a growth on her throat area, adn took her to the vet. They weren't sure if it was a abcess or worse. I took her back seveveral times over the course of 6 days, she had to be given fluids through IV, and I syringe fed her. I've never been through anything like this before. I was praying for her. On wednesday they told me they couldn't do surgery to remove the cyst 'cause she was so anemic and her blood count was so low, it looked like she had leukemia. The only thing to do was bring her home or try to get her more help at the vet hospial where they have cancer specialists for a transfusion. I brought her there. They had an extensive list of treatment for her, and costs. It was stressful. I gave them permission for treatment and a deposit before they could do anything. They told me she started to go into distress when put in the Oxygen tank and tube, I wanted them to do whatver they could to help her, and Cheshire blinked at me when I was in the room with her right next to her. She wasn't really blinking before that as whe had a tube in her mouth that was helping her breath. This was so painful for me. Her heart gave out, and that's how she went. I don't know if anyone on here has been through anything like this, but I've wondered if by brining her to that hospital and trhing to get here more help to stabilize her for a transfusion caused her more distresss that lead to her passing? I've talked to the doctors who told me no, that didn't do it, she was just very sick,a nd even if i'd brought her home, she would haev onyl survived a few days or 24 hours. I even had jsut bought the Mega C plus which I had heard good things about reversing felv. I told her how much I love her and she knows that until I see her again. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
