Thank you again for your support.
I was reading through a thread about megacolon. And remember my girl had something going on in her intestines? She had suffered from constipation for a long time. Now I wonder if we should have had her scoped before all this started? I just wonder how we could have stopped the bleeding. I know it doesn't matter now. I know there is nothing I can do-but I still have 2 cats alive that I am now petrified that I will miss something like this again.
Luckily Miralax works wonders on the oldest that has always had constipation. I just worry that it wont work after awhile so for now I give her a pinch every day. I found if I gave 1/4 tsp that its too loose so I stick to a tiny bit and it works like a charm. She is still eating ok. Last night she didn't eat as much before but I notice that the hotter it gets during the day the less she eats so I am trying to not freak out.
We have been doing ok. Honeybee sits outside looking sad because she knows Floey is gone. I presented her Floey after she passed away and Honeybee ran away from her. I hope my girl doesn't get depressed. She used to hang out with Floey or at least follow her around pissing her off. Floey was always a hissy cat but purred at the same time. I think that's what I miss the most now. is her purr when I sit down at the toilet.Flo used to come over and lay across my feet and claw them like she was kneading. And she would look at me with those eyes and slow blink at me. I know she loved me. I know she knows I love her. Still.
I just hope this sadness disappears soon because I don't like how it makes me cry and no one wants to hang around with a wet blanket person. I just hope I can save the next sick cat before it gets out of control but that is a hard lesson isn't it? We can't control death no matter how much we do and try to stay on top of it. Its going to happen whether we intervene or not. We can try treatments and see if it makes them comfortable but in the end we have no control of birth or death. Or illness. I hate giving up control. this has to be the hardest thing-feeling so very helpless.
