I am in shock as I write this thread. Our Nicholas was put to sleep at 626pm last evening. He fought a good fight against liver disease that came on so suddenly on Dec. 8th. When his blood results came back, the liver enzymes were thru the roof!! The vets promptly started him on meds, scheduled an ultrasound and biopsy. Nicholas was taken on Thursday evening to a very good 24h emergency clinic, and received excellent care. He was loved by all who cared for him. Nicholas was on " pass" for Christmas, and was to return on Wednesday. However, that was not meant to be. He had projectile vomiting Sunday morning, and became weaker as the day progressed. He collapsed at the water bowl and could not get up. At that point, Barry and I made the very sad decision to let him go. I called the vet at the ER clinic and she agreed that it was right thing to do. Then the call was made to Animerge and we brought Nicholas there. And he was put to sleep, he went very peacefully.
Nicholas came to live with us on 3/1/1997 at about 8 months. He was THE personality at the house, the " Ring Leader" as our vet called him. Nicholas and Barry were devoted to each other, and Nicholas would play ball with Barry for hours!! And when Barry did not drop his bags when he walked in the door when he came home from work, Nicholas(who we think has some Meezer in him)would let Barry know in VERY graphic language!!!
This was Nicholas' favourite time of the year.He loved the Christmas Tree and was known to be found napping amongst the branches, or among the presents under the tree!! His buddy, Riley, is very sad right now...
Sleep softly, our sweet and dear Nicholas...We will look for you among all the stars tonight...We will always love you.....
Sandra & Barry

Oh my, I'm so sorry about your Nicholas. Thank you, though, for doing the one last act of kindness for him, helping him to the Bridge. He's peacefully resting under a Yule tree now, enjoying the lights and their warmth. A candle burns for you all......

I am so sorry for your loss of Nicholas. Your fur baby is happy at the rainbow bridge enjoying the festive season with all the other rainbow bridge babies.

I am so sorry you have lost Nicholas.

I went back through some posts to find a pic, and didn't - but he sounds like a very handsome boy, a white meezer mix?

He had a bit of a battle with mast cell, and made it far past his tenth birthday...but that isn't ever long enough.

HUGS to you, and I am glad Nicholas' passing was peaceful.

Join the other kitties and batting the snowflakes, dear Nicholas - you are free and well now.

{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}} to the family you left behind.
