Oh Joy, I am so, so sorry to hear that. Please accept my condolences on
the loss of your loved one. Purrs are headed your way to help heal your
breaking heart, and a candle will be lit tonight to help guide Lindy on
her way to the Bridge.

{{{{{Joy}}}}}

Hugs,

Lindy woke me up this morning, vomiting on the bed. It looked like clear
fluid and blood. There wasn't a lot, but I called the vet after they
opened. They said to bring her in, along with her food and medicine. I
also took a couple of pictures of the places where she had vomited, with
a ruler so the vet could see how much there was. The vet later said the
pictures were very helpful.

They had me leave her. The vet called about half an hour later. She
said Lindy's gums were pink and she was dehydrated. She said the
bleeding was probably caused by ulceration of the stomach, which could be
the result of either the Prednisone or the cancer. She said, "If we are
going to continue ..." we'd need blood tests, x-rays, infusion, shots and
more oral medication. She gave me some time to think about it, but I
realized there was only one thing to do.

I called the vet and said I wanted to come and say goodbye to her. When
I got there, I took care of the financial part. Then they brought her
out in the waiting room, and I held her for a few minutes, but she was
trembling, so I said let's get it over with. They took her, put in a
shunt and brought her back. I sat in the examining room holding her, and
she kept crying, so I told them to come finish. They had put a towel on
the counter where the animals are treated. I set her down on the towel,
and she started purring. When the vet and the tech came back, she kept on
purring as the sedative was injected. Then she laid down. I think she
was asleep as the vet injected the rest.

She started purring because she knew you were going to send her where
she would know no pain or vomiting. She loves you and, if she can, she
will wait for you. You may well know her persence again.
