Well, Rocky finally came back to sleeping in bed with me last night. I noticed he was scooting his butt on the floor so I searched this forum and after watching a couple of different video's I washed his butt (no soap, just warm water) and he actually didn't mind it at all to my surprise. He...

That is very interesting that Rocky may be staying away to avoid disease (makes sense to me). Animals are truly amazing aren't they? The story about the rescue dog and 9/11 is also fascinating. Well, Rocky has been sleeping which he normally does and I have been so busy cleaning, mopping...

Thanks everyone. I didn't know that cats could grieve as well. I started cleaning yesterday (it was hard for me as I'm still upset) and today I will mop all the floors with pine sol as Silver urinated almost everywhere including my Mom's blanket. I had towels placed most everywhere where...

The new cat who was 18 years old was put to sleep.

Thanks. I think Rocky knew that Silver was dying as well. I will give Rocky time to adjust. He used to approach Silver and try to smell her but would back off when Silver would hiss at him.

Morning everyone, in a different post I was left with an abandoned cat Silver (by my Aunt and her grandson) who I took care of and yesterday I brought her to my Vet and she was very sick and was put to sleep. For the past 4 days or so my cat Rocky who I have had since he was a kitten has been...

On the medical paper from my Vet he wrote Fractured Tail, Peripheral paralysis, Unable to urinate or defecate normally, Suspect Renal Failure. I woke up this morning and I couldn't stop crying. I really miss Silver! And my cat Rocky has been sleeping in my Mom's closet and is ignoring...

Thanks for your beautiful words. And you are right that IF my Aunt had taken Silver with her then Silver would have suffered even more. I still remember my words to my Aunt around a year ago when I noticed Silver was drinking excessive water which was "Silver needs to see a vet" and my Aunt...

Hi all, Silver was put to sleep (my heart is so heavy). The vet examined her and told me that she had an obstruction with poop the size of a baseball inside of her for a long time. I guess the diarrhea I saw earlier came from Rocky not Silver (it was on the floor). The vet also told me that...

Thanks white shadow, Silver went "gently" in the carrier. She did tried to fight me but I managed. There are 2 towels inside the carrier. I do have a record button on my phone, thanks for reminding me! All I know is I want the best for Silver and if my vet can help her that's what I want...

I can't wrap her in a towel because when I touch any part of her body except her head she attacks me by biting me, scratching, etc. She could be a vicious cat. I didn't mean I was going to drop her, I was planning on gently letting her inside the carrier and yes, I already put in a towel...

Good morning, I just wanted to say that this morning I am bringing Silver to my Vet. I'm a little worried about getting Silver into the carrier because she doesn't like to be touched except for when I pet the top of her head. I'm going to grab her neck and put the carrier upward and gently...

Thanks. I won't know what Silver is suffering from until I bring her to the Vet on Wednesday. Thanks for the information regarding Dasuquen!

I had chronic lyme and conventional medicine (big pharma antibiotics) only made me worse. I used alternative medicine or some called it snake oil and after being sick for 10 years I got 100% better in 1 year. Here is a link to the benefits of Manuka Honey based on Science...

Thanks for your reply. I'll wait until Wednesday to see what my Vet tells me and will inquire about the cost of giving Silver a senior wellness panel. She's not anxious at all but very loving, playful, purrs a lot when I rub her head, etc. She also likes to poke me with her paw and let me...

I researched the laws in my state (Vermont) and by not giving Silver the medical care she needed when my Aunt was living in my house is considered animal cruelty. Animal cruelty is associated with or identified by intentional cruelty or abuse or neglect. Associated human behaviors might...

Legally I don't think she can because I'm the one who is bringing Silver to the vet for the medical attention she needs when that was her responsibility not to mention taking care of a pet that she abandoned.

As I wrote just now this Vet is the most compassionate caring doctor I have ever met. He looks to save animals not put them down unless it's absolutely necessary. I was frank about my financial situation and was given prices already and so far they are affordable. I will learn more next...

I spoke to the Vet's office this morning and explained all of Silver's problems to an assistant who works there and she told me she would talk to the Vet that I like and call me back which she did. Silver's appointment is Wed. Sept. 16th (that's the earliest the doctor could see her). The...

Thanks!
