My Styx Kitty Is Very Sick And May Be Dying, Please Send Him Positive Thoughts. Thank You! Options

[AngelCareOne]

I'll try to make it brief at this time since I'm keeping 24 hour watch on him. Styx, named after the band and not the "evil river," just turned 13 years old on September 10. That is if he was born in 1996 and not earlier. Can't recall and can't find his papers. Still, pretty sure I'm right and I am positive his birthday is September 10th. He was 5 months old when he chose me, I took him home and he went to work straight away at being so sweet, affectionate and precious.

All started about a week ago with him manifesting symptoms. The Emergency Vet feels it's more likely to be kidney disease or failure and not diabetes as I strongly suspected at first. Crisis was late morning of November 12th and I'll tell you later what happened. Not all tests are in yet but if it's kidney disease or failure, not much of a chance if any at all.

Please send positive vibes to Styx kitty that at least he's not in pain and won't suffer. If you're one who prays, we'd be very grateful for that, too. Remember, Angels Breathe!

God Bless and Many Kind Thanks!!!

Always,
Dottie xoxoxox

Please Hang In There Styx Kitty!!!

You are so Loved!!!

Dottie,

I am so, so sorry to hear of Styx Kitty's troubles. After all you have been through to have this hit such a sucker punch is just so unfair.

I think you are making the absolute right call on this. All things considered, he has had a good life and you are such a kind, loving caregiver I am sure he trusts you to make the best decision for him. They are like children in that they cannot understnand what is happening but look to person making us for comfort and guidance. If only they could tell us where it hurts and how much I think the decision would be an easier one. And then the thought of not having them with us in body any longer sort of clouds our thinking doesn't it?

What a heartbreaker this is for you I know but I also know from everything you do for all of us here that you do not even know that he will have the most loving, caring, compassionate person to do what is best for him.

I don't have the ability that you have with all the graphics, poems, songs and words for anyone here who needs it to comfort you during this time. I only hope the road the two of you travel for however long it may be will be filled with love, hugs, kisses and be as free of pain and sadness as possible.

Hugs and prayers to both of you

Ginger
