Scooter Bug - decision made - upd #41

[Anikaca77]

I'm so glad Scooter Bug is eating some.

My prays are coming your way.

The vet says most of Scooter Bugs blood work is normal. The only thing that is "slightly" high has to do with his liver. Vet says this could be b/c of an infection (which we are going to treat with antibiotics) or something worse, such as fatty liver disease or a possible tumor. I will have all of the test results in-hand tomorrow so I can ask everyone questions... I just want to know the best decision to make regarding my sweet kitty.

Vet says one of the possibilities that comes into play is Cancer. I am not ready to think about that option... so pray the antibiotics make my baby boy well.

My heart is breaking. Scooter is still so very weak and appears to be thinner. The round of antibiotics didn't help. He is still so happy though, and the instant he gets snuggled up to me he starts purring. My eyes are nearly swollen shut from crying. I can't bear the thought of not snuggling with my baby.

I am so afraid it's almost time to make the decision and let him go.

LES Your Scooter Bug reminds me so much of my Taz. I just posted in his memorial thread yesterday since its been 6 months now that I let him go. Yet I feel your pain like it was just yesterday I said goodbye.
I am so sorry. I do not like hearing how so many of us have had to go through this here lately. I relive it with each and every person all over again.

Hugs to you Crystal and hugs to Scooter too.

I sure hope this isn't the case, Crystal, but if so, you'll get through it somehow and w/lots of help and love from PTers, that's for sure. Having just been through it myself last week, the pain is still fresh for me, so I know how raw it is for you right now. (((HUGS)))

Oh my- I am so sorry about Scooter. We lost our Tigris to cancer of the liver and the peritoneum in September- it all went very fast.
I hope that whatever it is he may be a happy snuggling kitty for some time to come.

I wonder whether Scooter Bug might find kitten food tempting?

I wonder whether Scooter Bug might find kitten food tempting?

Love, Columbine

He doesn't even find canned tuna tempting these days.

I am just worried that he's going to start showing signs of suffering (hurting, etc) and I won't have money to take him to the vet. I'll go days without eating if I have to, but he will have to come first.

Still thinking of you and Scooter.

I'm so very sorry.

Thoughts and prayers going out for you and dear Scooter Bug.

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

[Scooter's Mom]

He is more and more frail as the day goes on. He's having trouble walking now.

I talked to my vet's office... it's $65 to have him pts... and an additional $180 for cremation & return to me. If I don't have his ashes returned to me, it's only $75.00 for cremation. But he's my heart kitty... I'll do what I have to... but, I have always said his ashes would be buried with me. I love him so much.

I just don't have the money... hubby is going to call his mom (who is NOT a pet-lover at all) and see if she will pay for it. Please, pray that she will help. I can't let him suffer.

I just have to decide when to make his appointment if she says she'll help.
