Emergency Prayer Needed For Emma... UPDATE

**Jessika** · 07-27-2009, 12:41 PM

I am sad to say that Emma was euthanized this morning.

I found her under my bed, in pain and would not move. I took her vitals; she had a weak pulse, was anemic, and in shock.

The doctor said the tissue was necrosed around her rear due to decreased blood flow because of her spinal injury. She also had internal bleeding, so my mother in law made the difficult choice to end her suffering. The doctor said this was nothing that could have been prevented and he was surprised she lived as long as she did following her accident; he originally prognosed she wouldn't make it a year, and she made it a year and a half. I told my mother in law to take solace in that fact -- she gave her an extra year and a half of life that most others would not have been able to.

RIP, sweet girl. You're in a better place now where you don't have to wear diapers anymore

I am so sorry. It's nice to hear from you, but not on this sad note. But Emma is all better now. And like you said, she got an extra year and a half thanks to your mother-in-law.

Rest in Peace Emma.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. She had an incredible spirit and such a pretty girl. I know that the absolute best was done for her and you did even better by ending her suffering. RIP, sweet Emma and peace to your humans.

{{{{HUGS}}}} Bless you and your mom - I remember how all of you fought the vet's immediate decision to put her down, and how he decided that only because you were the first owners that wanted to give Emma every chance in the world!

You all loved her and took her in good times and bad; that is true commitment.

She had another year and a half. That is huge in kitty years.

Play free and run at the Bridge, dear Emma.

I'm so sorry to hear this.

At least she had 1 1 /2 years more with your mother in law. Now she's pain free and up at the Bridge with my Pepper and Starr. RIP sweet Emma.

I was not a member of PT when you were going through the original struggle, but I went back and skimmed the details. I'm so sorry you all (especially Emma) had to go through this, but she is now in a better place, free from pain and trauma. Take solace in that.

RIP dear Emma, you were a sweet, brave little Tabby!
