Sad Vet Trip
No, not the ULTIMATE sad vet trip, quite yet. But I took Pan in for a
follow up vet visit today, and while Pan's thyroid is normal, Dr. Mell believes his kidneys are going. There is very little he can do, and that would only delay the inevitable. When you're an eighteen year-old cat, you're an eighteen year old cat. Pan has noticeably slowed down even since January, and although he's getting enough thyroid now, he's still very thin, but not very interested in his food after taking the first few bites. He's lost strength in his hind legs, and spends most of his time sleeping, and he can't seem to get warm enough. I definitely don't want to see him suffer. Dr. Mell said "He's ready to go, it's a matter of when you're ready to let him go." So......probably next week, I'll have to send him away over the Rainbow Bridge to rejoin Isadora. I just couldn't do it today, and I doubt I could do it tomorrow, either. Melissa |

It took me a week to say goodbye to Frank after the vet told me it was his time. Since Pan is not suffering yet, take all the time you need. Pamper him as much as you can. I'm writing this through tears. You know that I know exactly how you're feeling. {{{{hugs}}}} -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

Can you give him a hot water bottle wrapped in a blanket to sleep on? My Simon enjoyed one of those during his last months. We'll be purring for him and for you. |
