Goodbye Tigger :(

[RedHedd]

OMG! Not Tigger! My only experience with this is on my Goldie's last day with me. Her tumor had grown so large I guess it was impinging on nerves and she lost the ability to use her back legs. It was so sad! I hope Tigger's diagnosis is something simple.

Oh my, poor Tigger. I will be watching for an update. Hope all goes well. How scary for everyone involved!

Prayers for Tigger. The only thing I can think of is a fractured spine. This happened suddenly to my poodle (AnnaBelle). She is now paralyzed from the waist down ... for 4 months now. We keep her in baby diapers, since she is incontinent.

I hope that it is something easily "fixed" for your Tigger!

Hugs,
Kim

Poor Tigger -- my RB Tiny was like this and the vet told us it was a result of a stroke. Lets pray thats not the case for Tigger. Please know I am praying for you and your freckled nose boy.

I have had no experience with this.

Tiger is in my prayers, and I'll be looking for an update.

My boy is gone The tears will not stop coming...I'll give a brief explanation and will try to come back later...

He had a heart condition/murmer? that did not come up during any of his check-ups. It threw a blood clot, and that's what happened to his legs. We had some different options, but his breathing kept sounding worse, and getting heavier. The vet was also not hopeful. I wanted him to be happy/pain free...so I had to say goodbye

I want to thank you all for thinking of him. This was so sudden..and too soon

OMG! Robyn! I'm SO sorry. I can't type as I'm crying so much. Tigger was one of my favoritest orange kitties on PT! Play hard at the bridge, you big beautiful fluffy boy and say Hi to my Goldie

[Donnaj4962]

Oh my... NO....I am so sorry to hear this news! I am crying as I type this. RIP little Tigger, RIP.

Know that you made the right decision. You were right when you said that you didn't want to see him in pain. He is now painfree, and playing at the RB with our other PT RB kitties. I am so sorry for your loss.

Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry that this happened to Tigger and can't even begin to imagine what you're feeling right now. This was definitely too sudden. Please know we are all here for you.

**hugs**

I am so, so sorry to hear this. Rest in peace, sweet Tigger.

I know he'll find my Divot at the Rainbow Bridge and that they are romping free of pain and healthy. I can't tell you how bad I feel for you, Here is something I wrote when Divot left for the Bridge. Maybe it can ease your poor heart a bit.

When sorrow stretches out extended arms,
she grabs up everyone of us she sees,
seduces us with false and fleeting charms
that bring us way down to our trembling knees.

She crushes us and scarcely lets us breathe;
her taloned fingers rake our bodies raw;
she pushes us down under seas that seethe;
we feebly try to slip her grasp and law.

One day so wearied by struggles long,
we see a tiny glimpse of sun above;
we hear the sweet strains of a simple song,
and we remember what there was of love.

And slowly slowly new dawn does arrise,
and we at long last can wipe our eyes.

I know just how you feel. Here is something I wrote when I lost my Sweet orange boy Divot. I hope it gives you some comfort:

I am so very sorry. I just now saw this. I know nothing will get rid of the pain. When it's unexpected like that, it's harder to accept. Just know that we are here for you. I know too well the pain of having to make that choice. Rest peacefully, Tigger. You were well loved.

oh no! I am so sorry for your loss! (((HUGS))) you will be in my thoughts.
