Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2006Sad Vet Trip
No, not the ULTIMATE sad vet trip, quite yet. But I took Pan in for a follow up vet visit today, and while Pan's thyroid is normal, Dr. Mell believes his kidneys are going. There is very little he can do, and that would only delay the inevitable. When you're an eighteen year-old cat, you're an eighteen year old cat. Pan has noticeably slowed down even since January, and although he's getting enough thyroid now, he's still very thin, but not very interested in his food after taking the first few bites. He's lost strength in his hind legs, and spends most of his time sleeping, and he can't seem to get warm enough. I definitely don't want to see him suffer. Dr. Mell said "He's ready to go, it's a matter of when you're ready to let him go." So......probably next week, I'll have to send him away over the Rainbow Bridge to rejoin Isadora. I just couldn't do it today, and I doubt I could do it tomorrow, either.

It took me a week to say goodbye to Frank after the vet told me it was his time. Since Pan is not suffering yet, take all the time you need. Pamper him as much as you can. I'm writing this through tears. You know that I know exactly how you're feeling. {{{{hugs}}}}  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

But Pan will let you know if or when he's had enough. Can you give him a hot water bottle wrapped in a blanket to sleep on? My Simon enjoyed one of those during his last months. We'll be purring for him and for you. > No, not the ULTIMATE sad vet trip, quite yet.

Empathetic purrs to you both. Pan will indeed let you know when he's had enough and I hope you find the strength to react at once, if you keep him with you too long you'll never forgive yourself later. I missed the right moment by a couple of days with dear Aries over 12 years ago and am still kicking myself (figuratively). We'll be thinking of you Gordon, Bandit, Snowball, Claudius and Raki.

What we really want is a miracle and the fountain of youth for our loved ones. I offer vitual hugs and purrs for you at this time of incredible sadness. I have three of my babies in the back yard. Soon I will plan on this year's flowers to plant on the sites. And while I plant the flowers I am talking to each: DC, Max, Amber. I find it a very comforting ritual as i remember them. I hope you can be comforted with a ritual of your own. -- CATherine > So......probably next week, I'll have to send him away over the Rainbow > Bridge to rejoin Isadora.

Nobody likes to have to make this realisation about an older friend and you & Pan are very much in our thoughts and prayers. Helen M > No, not the ULTIMATE sad vet trip, quite yet.

Spicey sends purrs for your hurting heart. Suz&Spicey Thank you all for your kind words. {{{RPCA}}} Pan and I have spent the weekend doing serious cuddling and heavy petting. I cannot yet bring myself to make his last appointment, but the contrast between his weariness and general weakness and the two young, healthy girl cats is too clear to ignore. In the meantime he's getting lots of treats, and lots of love.
