LeO is in Heaven now
I just got home from the vet's office. He had lost three pounds in three
weeks, and his kidneys had completely shut down so that his body was using up its own protein because the kidneys weren't functioning. He hadn't been able to walk or see for several days and couldn't hold his head up. Despite having antibiotics daily, his white cell count was very high and his red cell count was very low. He just had a really sharp decline over the past three weeks because of the protein. I wasn't able to give him all the fluids he needed because he was having seizures constantly because the fluids were stressing his heart and he was starting to have fluid around his heart. I got his lab results this morning and all the numbers had gone through the roof in the past three months. I just did everything I could, but after the past two weeks he had no fat or muscle left, just fur and bones. For 15 years, he was the best friend I could ever have asked for. I don't see how people write something eloquent when they lost their cat like this. I can't. Julie |

I don't see how people write something eloquent when they lost their cat like this. I can't. Julie Of course eloquent writing is out of the question during a time of peak stress, shock, and sorrow. Maybe there are a few who do it, but I'm sure most of us can't. When I lost my beloved soulmate kitty, I went on the RB board and all I could write was that a tuxedo cat was hit by a car and died. I only got two responses because it was so brief and devoid of emotion, I guess. Fortunately, one was very supportive and empathetic and helpful. A coule of days later I did write a more eloquent piece of love and memorium on my blog, but then I could not bear to go to my blog and read it or have others read it who might make light of my love for my cat. So I shut down my blog, and have never visited it since (a year and 10 months ago). I'm so sorry for your loss, and for another sweet kitty leaving. Hugs, Carol |

Julie, you said it all, He loved and was loved, you did your best for him,
now he is at the Bridge with all our other loved furry friends. Cry all you need to, I still am for my Sadie. "Lucy" wrote in message ... I just got home from the vet's office.
