Unexpectedly, our cat Strider died last night. He had just gotten a clean bill of health from our vet yesterday afternoon. He came home, played, ate, did normal Strider things... my husband and I went to find him before bed and found him dead in the litterbox.
We are devastated. We can't wrap our minds around how our healthy 6 year old black cat is dead. And I can't cope with the fact that he died in his litterbox, without us right there. We were HOME. How did we not hear him?????? The other cats are going to grieve terribly. Lancelot and Earl Grey were very close to him. They got to sniff his body before we took him to the vet, at least. I don't... I have no words. I'm lost. -------------------- When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that, in truth, you are weeping for that which has been your delight. - Kahlil Gibran |

Hi, Kel, thank you so much for sharing with us how your precious Karma and Willow are doing. Please know I share your concerns, and know that you and your husband are doing everything in your power to keep them healthy and happy. There is a paste called Nutri Cal that is high caloric and is used for cats who are ill, recovering from illness / surgery, or pregnant. This is something you might want to consider adding to your arsenal to help stimulate appetites. As with people constipation can interfere with the appetite and feeling perky. My precious Noah is now on a daily dose of Miralax prescribed by his veterinary care provider, and this has made a HUGE improvement in his solid waste elimination process. I am very sorry your primary veterinary care provider does not seem to be responding to your concerns as you would like. It is vitally important you have a veterinary care provider you feel you can trust.
Kel, I do hope today is treating you, your precious Lancelot, Karma, Willow, and your husband kindly. Please know you, your precious companions, and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers, and please let us know how each of you are doing. Peace and blessings, moon_beam -------------------- In heaven's perfect garden there is no grief or pain, and all of God's creation join the angels' sweet refrain.
The most blessed way I have of knowing God's comforting love and grace is to look into the eyes and heart of God's creatures' sweet angelic face. |
