I dont think I will be so late in the end tonight So I only went 1/4 of an hour later.

I keep dreaming about Mar Lei being sick. I wake up feeling like he is dying, like its a warning sign and I need to prepare, .

I feel so much Grief. Today I am all tears.



He has stopped sleeping on my bed. He always does this when hes not feeling good.

But then in some ways he seems ok.

Maybe it's all muddled I'm sure with everything that is going on in the world. So many people are 'dying suddenly'.

I dont know whether I am catastrophising and actually hes doing ok, or its my instinct that he is not well.

I dont know if I should take him to the vets. He HATES the vets. It stresses him out for weeks, no exaggeration. I don't trust most of what they do in terms of medicines, though I know testing is pretty useful for various physiological markers, (and then I can do my own think treating).

I feel like everyday I am wearing this hundred tonne weight of death around my neck. But i would choose this everyday over him leaving.

I just feel like I am not getting it right.

If I know how long he had it might be easier. I need to earn more money but I dont want his last few weeks to for me to be out the house loads. I'd rather go into more debt and be with him and make it up after that. But if he is going to be here many years yet, I need to get on with things! Its so confusing.

Many people around me think I am absolutely mad (he's just a cat, you are wasting your life etc) but to me hes a soul like any other and as important to me as the humans I loves.......

Do lots of people in this community feel these things?
 
I believe that alot of us struggle at times and feel like we are failing I know that I do. Take a deep breath this disease is a marathon not a sprint.
Just know that you are doing everything you can for your furbaby.
I also have family members and friends who don’t understand the time and commitment that it takes to treat this disease and why I would be willing make that commitment for “only a cat”. My closest friends know how much he means to us and that he is not “just a cat” he is part of our family and we will take care of him the way we would any other family member.
You also have to be able to make sure you take care of yourself so you are able to keep taking care of him, keep breathing :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
I am very sorry for what you are going through. My kitty is also very ill.
I have been giving her gambapentin before going to the vet and she is sedated and doesn't feel anxious.
Sending prayers.

Aw thank you so much for you message and prayers. I am so sorry your kitty is so ill. I really hope with all my heart she gets better. Thank you for the tip about gambapentin. Is that something you can get over the counter?

Thank you so much for your kind words. Its good to hear of your experiences and to be connected to others who understand and feel similar.

I feel death is all around me. We went to my Aunty's funeral today and it was quite far away - the furthest ive been since Mar Lei has been ill so I was anxious if the car broke down and I couldnt get back to inject him. (Totally irrational fear unlikely to happen....but you never know).

Tomorrow we are visiting with another friend dying in a hospice.

And with Marley's big bouncing and just not being on form...... its just been intense!
 
Im switching from Alphatrax Pet metre) to Freestyle lite (human metre)

Do I need to do something with ,y spread sheet?
 
Ok thank you. This next result (Ive tested, just haven't put it in yet) is from an alphtrax, shall I put it in or wait and do something else first?
 
Thank you but I have to freestyle lite for this mornings AMPS only. That shot before was still alphatrax

The AMPS is freestyle lite

Freestyle lite is in md/dl so I am totally lost in that world.

Do I just fill in the US part now?
