Teo Didn't Make It To Surgery

I just want to thank you guys for your help, I did take Teo to the vet in the morning, they started iv fluids, antibiotics and pain medication. The plan was to make an ultrasound and very probably a surgery. But he got worse very suddently and passed away before surgery. My heart is so broken. The only confort is to know that I was with him all the final hours, talkin to him, kissing him, and he was at peace.

Oh, I am so, so sorry about your baby Teo. My heart goes out to you. I am so glad you were able to be with him and know that he was at peace. As saddened as you are, that has to help at least some.

RIP Teo.

Rest you gentle, Teo, dream you deep. You walk in someone's heart forever.

My heart with yours.

so sorry to hear about Teo. He was loved by you and that is all that matters, and sometimes you can do everything and still it doesn't change what happens in the end.

I am so sorry for your loss. Hang in there.

Rest in eternal peace, Teo.

He was just so overwhelmed, he was too weak to fight anymore.....this sometimes happens with the best of interventions, I really don't think there would have been a different outcome with whatever you had done. My heart breaks for your pain.
When our little ones leave us, there is left such an incredible overwhelming sensation of emptiness, of loss, it is impossible to comprehend. The pain and anguish, all those should haves, could haves, come crashing in and rule our world for as long as it takes. But there is no way for our minds, or our bodies, to sustain such anguish for a long period of time, and we start to embark on the long journey to healing a broken heart. And that takes a lot of willpower and the help of those who have traveled that road before you to begin on the path to acceptance and healing.
Right now you need to grieve. You need to feel the loss, to feel the pain, but the trick is to not let it rule your world any longer than it needs to.Teo's life and the time he spent with you is infinitely more important and precious than his death. In time you will realize this, but it takes a lot of time, one day at a time.....
Teo will always be as close as your thoughts and prayers. You loved each other, and he now depends on that connection to keep you close for eternity. Because that is what love is, a binding of the soul that can never be pulled apart, "Death cannot take that which never dies" and because love is spiritual, not like the frail physical body, it never will.
Some say it is not right to speak for someone else and say taht Teo would never want you to be in such pain because of him leaving, but i know in my heart that that is true. How do I know this?Because that is what true love is, only wanting what brings happiness, what is best for the one you love so much. So I know that which brings pain to the one you love cannot be tolerated. Just as you would not want it for him if you were the first to go.
Guilt will try to creep in, because grieving always brings guilt over things you have done or failed to do. Remember one thing, to let guilt take over means you had intentions to do something wrong. You cannot have guilt if you do not have intentions of bringing harm. and all you did was love him, you did what you did at the time with what you had, that can never be wrong Guilt has a way of trying to correct something that has happened in the past, and that in itself is futile. We only have the present and to use what we have learned in the past to form a future, and that will never change.
The binding of your souls is for eternity. He is a part of you and always will be. His love will never leave you, so send him thoughts of love and comfort and he will do the same.
My heart goes out to you, I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.....RIP precious Teo. You will never be forgotten, you will forever have a secure place in a loving heart. May the good Lord bless and keep you, until you meet again!

I am sorry to hear of your loss, perhaps it was better this way that he didn't have to go through surgery and all that, it sounds like he made the decision for you and spared a lot of pain and also cost, he was telling you that he was ready to go and didn't want to go through all that and put you through it too. But it doesn't lessen the grief and the loss, I am so sorry that you lost your little friend but he is just fine now, healthy and happy again and just fine, you will see him again one day and it will be wonderful.

"Their last breath on Earth is their first breath in Heaven"

I hope your heart heals a bit more each day, God Bless.....

I am so sorry for your loss. I know well what you are going thru. It has not even been a year for me yet.....but, I now have a very lovable new baby who makes me laugh. I still miss my big boy, Oliver, but Theodore is a nice distraction and a new best friend. We all understand.

Thank you all, you are such a confort to my heart, because I know you all feel for cats as I do.
Teo is the white one on the picture, and there is also Maia, my 8 year old female cat.
I’ve been trying to avoid all guilt thinking and to trust in everything I did was with my best intentions and with all my love. But it is a true battle! I also hope this case taught something to the vets and to all they did (or not) to take care of him.
I was sitting beside Teo traying to confort him, and to keep him calm for some time while the vet decide what to do, then I noticed that he started breathing very fast and to lose consciousness so I prayed to God and ask him to take Teos life before surgery. The vet came and I told her that he was getting worse, so she took him to the OR very fast. I was in the next room and everybody was moving quickly doing things to get ready. All of a suddenut I hear not a sound, so I knew he was gone.
Even when my heart was broken, I knew God answered and did the best thing for Teo and for me.
Teo was a baby, he would have been 2 next month and that make no sense in my mind because all my cats have lived a lot longer (17, 15, 10 years) So this has been so unexpected and horrid. He was so full of life until last Saturday!
Maia, my female 8 year old cat is also missing him, so we are spending a lot of time with her. As for Alex and I, we will be missing his loud purring, his big personality, sweet carater and playfull soul forever.

Thank you all, again!

Bless you and Teo - and Maia too.

God answered your prayers and it was teos time even if it was for a short time, he still was loved by you and cared by you and he couldn't have been in any other better place than with you in his life. God stopped the suffering cause he may have suffered longer after the surgery. Suffering for one day longer is worse. Teo will always be with you and around you and looking after you until you meet in heaven.
