We are loosing Scooter
Took our sweet little guy Scooter to the vet yesterday. He had been loosing
some weight, but lately he appeared to have breathing difficulties also. Vet said his heartbeat was badly irregular and lungs did not sound good. X Rays revealed fluid around his heart and lungs as well as a partial lung collapse. There was also evidence of a probable lung tumor. We felt further diagnostics such as echo cardiagram, cardiac specialists, and exploratory surgery were not in Scooter's best interest. At this point we don't really need to know *exactly* what will kill him. He is going and nothing can stop that now. The fluid can not even be aspirated since it's in several locations as opposed to one main spot. So we brought our kitty home to spend his remaining time with his family in his familier home. One bright spot in all this is that Scooter does not seem to realize how sick he really is. He still wants to be with us as he always has. He always felt more comfortable around his human family members as opposed to our other two cats. (Ripley and Jack) So we plan to treat Scooter as our little buddy as usual. Not our dying little buddy. This is going to be rough. My wife and I have had Scooter for over 15 years and we can hardly remember a time when he was not around.

I'm so sorry to hear this, Phil, my heart goes out to you. Try and focus on all the good years he had that most kitties don't get the chance to enjoy. You gave him the most precious gift a cat can have, a good safe home and lots of love. Hugs, CatNipped |
