Prayers for Peanut.....(pic & vid added #41)
......one last time.
First of all I must apologize again for not being around much. I can see there are some important threads I need to respond to, but for now....
The mobile vet is scheduled to come out tomorrow. :-(
Peanut is straining more and more as she pees, and nothing is making it better anymore. She is also straining significantly to poop and I know it hurts her. Along with that, we know her one remaining functioning kidney is getting worse because even with the fluids she is becoming more and more lethargic. And finally the topper, she has gone blind. I could tell her eyes were getting worse, but just two days ago I noticed it was really bad and yesterday she started bumping into walls and walking around in circles like she was lost. We're afraid she's going to fall and hurt herself since she is so frail to begin with. I haven't weighed her lately, but she has to be down to about 4 1/2 lbs. She is a frail tiny little old lady.
Now that she can't see at all, she either sits in a lump on the rug on the floor, or wants to be on one of our laps. Even a week ago she was perky, happy and interested in what's going on around her - i.e. sitting and sniffing when the front door was open, etc. Now all she does is sit in a lump on the little rug on the floor. It's as if when she's there she knows where she's at and she doesn't want to move. The only thing she perks up for is food - silly little girl - which makes us question our decision, but we know in our hearts it's time to let her go.
So, please send prayers and good thoughts for her that her last hours are relatively pain free and she makes a peaceful crossing to the RB.
