Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2007Purrs please for Breeze (RB)
Hi all Can you spare some purrs for a d*g thing? Yesterday morning my brother and SIL had to send Breeze their 9-year Staffie across the Bridge. It was rather sudden, Sheila (my SIL who regarded Breeze as "her dog") had been thinking Breeze didn't "seem right" for a few days, nothing she could specifically say the dog was eating, drinking etc etc fine but Sheila felt she wasn't "herself", so they booked a vet trip for Saturday morning for a check-up. Then Friday Breeze had a seizure so they rushed her to the vet and she had a second seizure when they got there. After that the vet said the seizure had left her blind and kept her in overnight. When they called the vet Saturday to get news, they were told she'd had two more seizures and was now deaf as well. They went to see her at the vet's and she was obviously very distressed so Sheila held her for the injection and they sent her on her way to join their 9 cats already waiting for her (she was always good with cats i.e. she knew who was in charge, their last cat, Pin (Also RB) will be glad to see her as he's probably been missing his favourite pillow over there- I've seen the pictures of this tiny little cat sound asleep on her and her afraid to move) They don't know the cause but the vet suspects it was a brain tumour Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > Hi all > > Can you spare some purrs for a d*g thing? > > Yesterday morning my brother and SIL had to send Breeze their 9-year > Staffie across the Bridge. <snip> > They don't know the cause but the vet suspects it was a brain tumour > > Lesley > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs How very sad.

Purrs for Breeze and her hoomins. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. I called Sheila my SIL to tell her how sorry I was (I didn't see her Saturday) and I told her about this ng and read back all the messages and she asked me to pass on her thanks Trouble is she's now going through the worse bit (We all do this), she's distracted (I didn't know about this) because it is starting to look like her mum will need to come and live with them/go in a home and it is one thing to say "I wouldn't put mum in a home" (as she said about my mum) and another to face the reality of having to quit her job and become a full time carer and the stresses that puts on their finance (A year or two back, Jim was offered the chance to buy into the company where he works and become a managing director/part owner and he had to re mortage to raise the cash so things are a bit tight even with Sheila working) So she's now saying she wonders if she hadn't been so distracted- would she have picked up on a problem with Breeze earlier and maybe got her to the vet in time to make a difference? We all do that I think- I know I did with Fugazi and Isis Still I hope I reassured her after all she did spot the beginnings of the problem last week and she's ultimately sensible- apparently at the vets on Saturday, Jim was crying and telling the vet whatever it took to save Breeze do it and Sheila said she just stroked Breeze for a moment and she says she could feel how distressed she was and she just turned to the vet and said "Take her out of the cage and let's do what has to be done. I'll hold her..I don;t want her last memory to be sitting in a cage I'd rather she went to sleep with her mum holding her" Sheila is a very sensible woman (She has to be...my brother without her would probably forget to do his shoelaces up!) and I am sure she'll be okay but at the moment she is having a bad case of the "If only's" Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs > I called Sheila my SIL to tell her how sorry I was (I didn't see her > Saturday) and I told her about this ng and read back all the messages [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Lots of purrs and hugs for Sheila, Polonca and Soncek > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Oh, how very sad!
