Hello TCS family. I am not sure if anyone will remember me ,as I haven't posted in awhile.
Life has not been good lately.
I am now sitting here holding my precious Mittens. Tears are streaming down my face as I know I am losing him. To try to sum things up briefly , several months back I noticed he was drinking and urinating much more than usual. I immediately thought of kidney disease. Since he was due for his annual check up anyway I made an appointment with his vet and told him of my concerns.
Immediately full blood work up was done ,urine test , the works.
Several days later results were in. I was right kidney disease. Vet said there was hope. Medications should help greatly , if he responded well , he could still have months maybe even years left.
I was hopeful. However, he seemed to respond well at first but then did not if that makes sense.
The vet added more medications and I kept hoping. Nothing seems to be working.
I know that his vet and I tried everything to help him , but I still feel like I failed him. It is somehow my fault.
He is now cradled in my arms purring away.
I keep telling him how loved he is and how my life will have no meaning when he is gone.
He is such a sweet kitty who had a hard life before I adopted him.
He does not deserve any of this!
I don't really expect many responses. There is really nothing to say or nothing that I can do to stop this from happening.
I think I needed to just write this all out to people that I know would understand.
If you have even read all this , I so appreciate this.
Prayers for Mittens please and for me that I can cope once he is gone.
