    The guilt a couple weeks later

    I want to thank everyone who kindly replied to my last thread when I wrote about putting my baby down. The support on this site is amazing. Well it has been a few weeks and I still have tears, but I am really struggling with guilt. I keep thinking her last few weeks alive were spent in pain...

    The guilt after putting my baby down is consuming me and I am left with questions.

    I put my baby down on Wednesday night. It was a hard time leading up to it, and since it happened I have been a wreck, which is expected. I can hardly eat and feel sick to my stomach. My mind is racing with thoughts.  I feel absolute guilt. Keep thinking, "If I hadn't made this decision she...

    My baby is scheduled to "cross the bridge" tomorrow and I am freaking out!

    Let me just state, this is the first time I have ever had to put a pet down, let alone lost anyone in my life I was close with (and I'm 29). For over a year now vets have been suggesting to put my baby down due to severe dental disease. Whenever it would flare up I would put her on antibiotics...

    Tramadol side effects?

    My cat has been having these seizure like episodes lately where she falls over repeatedly and kicks her legs and yowls. Her latest one was sat night and it scared me so bad and lasted so long that I got a friend to drive us to the emergency vets. Lots of tests later showed she has a mass on the...

    I sure hope this was her arthritis acting up a few days ago.

    I got home a couple days ago, and my cat went under the bed (she never does this). She came out later yowling, so I popped my head around the corner to see her walking sideways, hunched over and limping. She kept laying down and her left leg was twitching, also her left paw was curled inwards...

    Cats litter box habits have changed

    Hello all, I had my cat at the vets a couple weeks ago. She got a urinalysis. Since I brought her home I also changed her cat litter because she was getting "cement paws" from her clumping one. I know, I should have switched the litter slowly, but cleaning her paws was stressing her out. I...

    My cat has "cement paws"

    My cat is recently having issues with getting clumping litter stuck to her back paws. And by stuck I mean in between her paw pads real good. I switched her over completely to non clumping litter (luckily she didn't seem to mind this sudden change!). But not before one of her paws got a good dose...

    My cat suddenly has dry litter stick in between her paws?

    Hi everyone, I brought my cat home from the vets on Friday. She had a urinalysis, whatever that involves. I also changed her litter over and gave her 2 fresh new boxes. I used the Superstore noname brand which I have used before, actually I have used multiple clumping cat litter brands and have...

    Buprenorphine for pain relief

    My cat is 19 and I recently had her at the vets. He prescribed buprenorphine for her dental disease. We are awaiting blood tests to see if she is even healthy enough for a dental cleaning. But since she is so old it is also a risk. I basically just want to keep her comfortable. I have heard...
