I got this e-mail from BlueBird today. Joy I just came from the vet. I KNEW Little Bit was sick.

Maybe because I just love them so much and have had a LOT of them...... whatever, I knew even though I don't have the money this month, I HAD to take her. I was right, but wish with all my heart that I'd been wrong. Her kidneys are shutting down. It's BAD. The vet, because I asked for the bottom line with no games etc...... told me that she will probably have to be put to sleep within a week's time. He told me to call him in 4-5 days. He tried some things, but told me honestly that he didn't believe, because of all his years of experience, that anything would work. He knows what she means to me. She has literally saved my life, or at the least my emotional health. She's made my life so much better than it was. I owe her so very much. I know I'll deal with it and get through it somehow. But right now, I just don't know how !!!! I feel like my heart just stopped beating. I want to spend every second I can with Little Bit. Trouble is all she wants to do is to hide, like an animal normally does when they know they are dying. My heart is breaking. So sorry to hear that your Little Bit is so sick. Purrs and prayers that she beats the prognosis. |

We all go through it, sooner or later - ufortunately our pets just don't have as long a life span as humans do, but it's never easy. (And of course hardest of all when it's a fur person you've been really close with.) Melisande and I send purrs that you will find the strength and courage to get through it, and find another furry friend to console you, when the time is right. |

I talked to BlueBird today. First, she wanted me to thank you all for
your messages. She is printing them and saving them in what she calls her LittleBit book. She says it will give her great comfort to read them later. Second, she explained a little more about LittleBit's problem. It seems she was born with defective kidneys. BB said there were holes in the kidneys. I'm not sure if that's it, but apparently it is a problem she was born with. BB has since learned that a littermate of LittleBit died a few months ago of the same thing. LittleBit is about a year and a half old, so apparently it's a genetic defect. She appreciates the suggestions, but apparently her doctor has already thought of everything. Someone mentioned the possibility of a transplant, and she said the doctor had told her LittleBit was not a good candidate for a transplant. She says you people are the best! -- Joy Normal is in the eye of the beholder. -- Whoopie Goldberg "GKiuchi" wrote in message ... Hi Joy! Yes! We agree with Fuga's slave! Comet was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure last fall. We too were devastated at the news...but with treatment her quality of life is very good. There is hope for Little Bit! Please let Bluebird know we are sending Power Purrs!! Gennie, Alan and Comet Can you let bluebird know not to give up. There are lots of people who have kitties with CRF who have rallied back ok. The best thing for Little Bit right now is probably getting sub-q fluids or being on an IV for a couple days. There are great resources online for this stuff.. Fuga was diagnosed with kidney failure 1.5 years ago and he's still doing ok. If there's anything I can do let me know..my addy is f u g a @c a n a d a . c o m (without the spaces). Fuga |
