Please all say a goodnight prayer to Tai Tai she has gone to the rainbow bridge. She was the 8month old that was abandoned at my vet hospital after being found under a porch. I had her such a short while yet I miss her prescence so much. She was sick the whole time I had her which makes it so hard to know I did right by her, but I know I did what was best, it just takes time to accept that. I was with her while she fell asleep so that brings some comfort. She fought sooo hard her PCV was around 6 and she weighed only 3.5lbs. Its so sad having to make the decision for them when they are fighting. She sat upright today and was mewing, she even raised her butt the tiniest bit for a pat but also Tonight her breathing was more labored than ever and after getting fluids (which she hated) she started open mouth breathing and gasping, I rushed her to my clinic where she only did well while on oxygen. I was grooming her and cleaning off her fur while talking to the doctor abo!
ut what to do and her skin actually came off, I know its horrid to talk about but its late right know and I'm alone and I know that all of you understand. The doctor said it sloughed because of lack of blood supply, Tai didn't even flinch, which meant it was dead tissue. She also said that when they are as sick as Tai they will have lucid moments when the end is getting nearer, almost appear more loving. It was then we decided it was time because if that was what it did to her skin what did her organs look like, and it was an open wound that wasn't even bleeding. It just makes me stunned at what a fighter she was yet hurt that I took that fight away no matter how much I feel it was the right descision and despite having had to make it before I never feels quite ok even if it is the right thing to do. I'm sleeping with all my other fur kids tonight, I need all the purring I can get, and maybe they and I will talk about how much we admired and loved Tai Tai.
Thank you all for listening (reading) and for your being there to get this off my chest, this is a very supportive group.
Sincerely,
Kristi, Homer, Val, Gretchen, Matilda, & Nala ( they appreciate your support too)
