YAY, Krista!
Dana- You've been through so much. So sorry for your loss. Hang in there.++++ Good morning everyone!! I just wanted to pop in and say I really need a hug. Sunday night my kitten (she's 4 actually) was throwing up. Yesterday she wouldn't eat, and wouldn't come out of hiding so I took her to the vet. At first the vet thought she might have had tinsel from the Christmas tree obstructing her somewhere so they took x-rays. Turns out, there's a multitude of things wrong with her. One of her kidneys is much smaller than the other, the large kidney is really bright on the x-ray, and she has some sort of mass around the area where her hips meet. She also has high blood sugar and an unusually high amount of sugar in her urine, so she might be diabetic. The vets want to do ultrasounds and biopsies, along with a feeding tube, since she won't eat. After a lot of talking and crying last night David and I have decided to let her go. I saw the x-rays, and truly don't think there's a chance to help her, even if we could financially afford it, which we can't. So the best thing for us to do is let her go without suffering.
To make matters worse, as many of you know I lost a son in 2003. Everytime I have EVER gotten pregnant we have gotten a new animal. Well, she was the one I got when I was pregnant with Matthew. I know it sounds REALLY stupid when I say it out loud (or type it) but it just feels like it's worse because of this. I don't know how to explain it. I am off to go call the vet and set up our appt, but I just wnated to ask for as much pixie dust as you guys can spare.
Thanks,
Dana
