Update On My Kittens & Cats

[catmandu]

We are praying hard for you Rory and we are all praying that you are well soon.
After all you are an Owesome Orangie!!!

Thanks everyone. The kittens seem to be doing much better already. As of last night Radar still had diarrhea. My vet told me to try a 1/4 tablet of Immodium A-D for only two days. I tried it yesterday morning and it seemed to make him worse so I decided not to give him any more of it. So far so good with him this morning. Every day is challenging when trying to give everyone their Lysine. This morning went much smoother than yesterday. I can't catch Colby to give him his eye drops so he won this battle. His eyes seem to have cleared up on their own though. Maybe it's due to the Lysine.

On a much sadder note. Storm's back legs are only getting worse. Last night while he was trying to pee in the litter box he almost fell over. If he even tries to run he immediately flops over and he looks like a fish out of water. I just can't sit back and watch and act like there's nothing wrong with him. I also can't wait until he can't even walk any more or even use the litter boxes any more. I've thought about this very long and hard and I've had to make the difficult decision to let him go. I've decided to let him go some time this Sunday. I e-mailed my vet about this and I don't need to make an appt. for this. She won't be able to do it though because she's become allergic to the medication that's used for euthanasia. I'm hoping to be able to take this Fri. and the following Mon. & Tues. off so that I can spend some extra time with him and so I can go through the greiving process before I have to go back to work. I can't type any more right now because I'm getting too upset.

I am so very sorry.

Hugs to you and very gentle pets to Storm. God bless you both.

((Hugs)) to you and Storm. It's such a hard decision.

Oh Tracy - I'm so sorry. I had no idea that Storm was so sick. What you're describing sounds like what I just went thru with Sherbie. I know you're heartbroken, just as I was, but you are doing the very kindest thing for him that you can. Give him a gentle little kiss from me please.

Hoping that the rest of your crew is soon back to par.

{{{Hugs}}}

(((Hugs))) to you. Prayers for the younger kitties and for Storm too.

Oh Tracy, my heart is breaking for you. So difficult to leave them go, however, I think you are doing the right thing by him though. It just shows that you do love and care for him by letting him go. We are all here for you.

[katladyd]

When they tell us they are done with life and are ready to go, it is the one last act of love we can do for them to let them go. I know how you are hurting, Tracy, but you are definitely doing the right thing for dear Storm. You will see him again One Fine Day, along with all your other kitties! Love never dies.

[Bengalz]

My heart is with you and Storm. There is never a right time for this to happen ... it just happens and amazingly they know when it is time to go. Spend some precious moments with your beloved Storm - he will understand.

It's so very hard to see someone you love so much suffering and so many feel one's kitty is "just a pet." None of us here do. I went through a tough time when my sweet prince Nicky seemingly went from healthy to severely ill in 2 days and despite the best medical attention nothing could be done except the right thing for my boy but a very hard decision for me. I don't know you but your devotion to and love for your kitties comes across. Take good care.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and sweet Storm.
I know its not easy saying goodbye. I went though the same thing with my Calico Girl.
Give Storm a kiss and some rubbies for me.
