I
really feel for you, Rachel--that must have been one awful journey. At least
Kelly knew she was being cared for. Thanks for being there for her. And don't
beat yourself up. You did more than most, and sweet little Kelly knew at the end
that she was loved.
love
& hugs, Kerry

Please add Kelly to the CLS.
She went to the rainbow bridge last night. She went from
looking/acting/behaving perfectly normal to gone in a matter of days.
It was just last week - Thursday - that I caught her and brought her into the room with the kittens. She never liked to come close to me and I let her be. I am kicking myself right now about that.

Last night I came home from work and she was a total mess. She had
lost control of her bladder and was so out of it she didn't move. I picked
her up - she felt light - and I was thinking maybe the kittens had worms or
something and she had caught it. Well, I took her into the bathroom to
rinse her off. She cooperated too easily and I knew that wasn't a good
sign. After a minute or two she opened her mouth to meow at me and her
gums were so white.
I knew that was REALLY bad. I toweled her off, wrapped her up and sat
with her for a few minutes. She actually started squirming a little so I
got the carrier and put her in. She was making a little noise here and
there but not squirming so much.
I started the trek to the emergency vet. She died sometime during the
ride there. I was afraid that happened at one point and didn't dare check
until I got to the vet's office.
They were very nice about everything and are making the arrangements for
her to be cremated and I will have her ashes returned to me in a couple
weeks.
