Hi...I just found this site and need some words of encouragement. Last night my cat TJ died in my arms. He has been my best friend for the last 22 years. My husband got him for me right after our honeymoon at the animal shelter. He has been with me for all the milestones of my life including the birth of my children. I had TJ longer than my son. TJ was diagnosed with CRF in March. I started giving him Sub-Q therapy on a regular basis along with Gaviscon. Last Monday I took him to the vet because he was getting weak...diagnosed with anemia as I suspected. He was started on Winstrol and seemed to be improving. However, over the weekend something seemed to change. He was extremely tired but still eating small amounts. I spent all weekend and all day Monday with him lying on the couch comforting him. If I would get up to get something he would lift his head to see where I was. He didn't seem to be in pain and wanted to be held. Last night at 9:25 as I was holding him...he looked up at me...took a few last breaths...and was gone. This morning we buried him in my flower garden near the deck that he loved to lie on. I can't believe that he is gone. I knew the time was near and I had him a very long time but it hurts so bad! How am I going to cope?

Thank you both for replying to my message...I was afraid no one would. I used to be a member of another board called purr-fect paws...but that board no longer exists. All of us members had become very close. I think I have found another caring and understanding board. My heartfelt sympathy to you both on your losses. It sure is hard going through this. Even though I have 4 other cats, 2 dogs and 2 rabbits does not make it any easier. Muffin...another one of my cats who is 19 was diagnosed with cancer in April...one month after TJ was diagnosed with CRF. So I am also dealing with that. It's so joyful having furry friends until they get sick and we lose them.
Thanks and hugs to you both... Lisa...NOAH'S ARK |
