I remember reading soon after the fight happened, but I didn't realize this was all still hanging over you .. and Buckley! OH NO!

Prayers for all of you. He can't feel well at all, wants to be home with his humans and his dear Jasmine.

Look at that, from the wee sickly kitty with the blue icky eyes to the lovely lady! You did a great job helping her, and it sounds like she returns all that love many times over.

After a heart to heart with Claire, our vet, the very difficult decision to put Buckley to sleep has been made. I posted more info in Dog general, but the bottom line is the present surgery isn't holding. What he would have to go through would be the same as a person with burns. Multiple harvesting and grafts over a several month period with no guarantee that it would work. His organs are compromised from the sepsis. He wasn't happy today, kinda had that bad smell again, and I felt like he was looking at me saying, "Mom, I've had enough." I don't know what time Tuesday, but that will be when we will help him pass to the Bridge. Please keep the prayers going. As always God's favor on all of you. Julie

I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear this news about Buckley. He will be in my prayers as will you. Because of you, Buckley knew what it means to be loved and cared for. A candle has been lit for Buckley.

I am so sorry for you and Buckley. There comes a time that you have to face that keeping them here may be cruel. I had to face it with Leonardo. It is such a hard thing to do but if they are suffering with no chance of recovery it has to be faced. Know that the love you have for him will go with him.
Lots of prayers and love for you both.

I hated to hear that. It is so hard to say Good Bye to a loyal and faithful friend..

However, if you think he is telling you he's had enough, then he probably is. My son is a burn patient and I just couldn't see putting a animal through what he has been through. Humans understand what they are doing to get them well, I am not sure a animals can. Skin grafts are not any fun, they are painful but the donor sight is the worst pain.. You are doing the right thing for your faithful friend. May God Bless you for doing everything you can to help His creature He entrusted to your care, even if it means sending him "Home" and back to Him.
