Hi,
I am new here although not to the grief. I lost 2 of my best friends in the last nine months. Creseant at age 17 suddenly of cancer I had one week and had to put her to sleep. Jinx at age 16 of liver and kidney failure, I fought to save her life for 6 weeks with medications force feedings s/q fluids. I finally put her to sleep when her quality of life became an issue. Just a mere 2 weeks ago I fell in love with a little orange tabby female her name was Peanut. She came to me with a sore paw. I took her to the vet for an exam the day after I adopted her and she was put on antibiotic for a fever and there was no fracture. She continued to limp and favour that paw. I picked her up when I came home from work on the 25th. She felt warm she was in pain and the paw appeared more swollen. Of course I rushed her to the vet again. They found an abcess in the elbow joint of her left front paw. They drained it she stayed at the vet recieving antibiotics and fluids. Her fever never came down so they irrigated the joint out on the 27th. On the 28th in the morning she appeared to be doing better and it looked like I would be able to have her home for the weekend and see if she would need an amputation on Monday. Then in the afternoon not 1.5 hours after I spoke to the vet she went in to septic shock and died. I did not even get to say goodbye. In the short time she was with me she showed such bravery and heart. She even kissed my nose. I feel just awful I was ready to commit to another little furry friend and she died. I wish I had taken her back sooner. Did I miss anything? Did she know how much I had come to love her? I am an ER nurse and know how difficult it can be to see things and yet I so totally blame myself. So much loss in so short a time...
Thank you for letting me vent. I could not even get 4 hours off work yesterday to grieve. Some people just do not understand. She had become my child in fur clothing.
