We went to see the vetty bean today. Rose hasn't been eating much and last night I noticed she is retaining some fluid with 2 of 4 paws swollen. I reduced her daily fluids by 1/2 and watched her for a few hours to monitor her breathing. Respiration rate is OK but breathing is shallow. Her numbers have been going up so I have been worried about constipation and pain.

Vet confirmed no physical sign of constipation but was very concerned about her overall physical condition to include weight loss of 1 lb in the last month. Blood work is slightly worse and xrays suggest some challenges for the lungs so we had to have "the talk". I'm going to start Mirtazapine, discontinue fluids and re-check in 2 days.

I will make her some chicken - she usually likes that. Thanks for prayers of comfort for Rose. I don't know what else to do. I'm terrified that the fluids that have been keeping kidney disease at bay are no longer an option to help her.

I am sorry to hear the news. :bighug::bighug::bighug: Many healing vines on their way.

Is Rosie on an anti nausea med like ondansetron or Cerenia? Best to give an anti nausea med before giving an appy stimulant. Mirtazapine comes in a transdermal gel which is less likely to have side effects than the pill.
 
I have always described Rosie as a rule breaker. Today, when she told me it was time to cross the bridge, I called the vet office to let them know we were going to come over. In the car on the way there, I told her one last time about how there are people all over the world that care about her. It kept me calm to name all the places across the US and even in Canada, Spain, New Zealand... Rose crossed in my arms hearing stories about how much we all love her.

Thank you to the many people who have offered prayers and advice through this journey. We would not have gotten this far without you.
 
Oh Carol, I am so sorry to hear this. You were so good to Rosie, she had the best mom ever. The care you gave her was second to none. She was so lucky to have you and you were so lucky to have her. She was such a special kitty. I am so sorry for your loss, this is heartbreaking.
 
Dear Carol, It is the very best thing we can do for our kitties to be there for them when their time comes. I am so sorry that it was Rosie's time. But be comforted in the thought that tonight she has begun a new adventure. At the Bridge she will be welcomed by many old friends and they will keep her "in good paws" until that wonderful day when you are reunited.

Fly free, beautiful Rosie cat_wings>o You are much loved.

In deepest sympathy,
Ella & Edward, Rusty (GA) and Stu (GA)

So sorry to hear it was Rosie's time to leave you Carol :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

You were such a good mama to her and I know when you made the decision, it was done out of your extreme love for her.

Fly free sweet Rosie and land softly. You have lots of friends at the bridge to welcome you, show you around and keep you company until the ones you love most come to be with you forever cat_wings>o
 
{{{Carol}}}

I am so deeply sorry to learn that Rosie has crossed the bridge. You proved your love for her over and over, and most of all when you gave her the ultimate gift - her freedom. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you face these first few days without her physical presence. Remember, she isn't far away - she'll always be firmly ensconced in your heart.

Fly free, Rosie, and land softly. :rb_icon:
 
My heart-felt sympathies to you, Carol.
Although we simply get used to their not being with us, a loss of a love so pure cannot be forgotten. Thank you for being a wonderful cat mom. Now it's Rosie's time to watch over you. Take good care of yourself.
XOXO
 
Thank you for helping her cross...and holding her and telling her how much she was loved and known by so many. It's always sad when we have to let go...sending hugs and prayers for you mama bean - as you're the one suffering now - she's free of all of her pain cat_wings>ocat_wings>o:bighug::bighug::bighug:

Until you and Rosie meet again.......... Fly high, land softly sweet Rosie. cat_wings>o
 
Oh Carol my heart aches for the pain you are feeling right now. You were such an amazing momma to that beautiful kitty and I think she knew how much you loved her. I am sending you hugs and vines of love, comfort, and peace your way. Fly free sweet Rosie. :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
I'm really, really sorry to read this very sad news, Carol. While these endings are always awful for the human and painful, it sounds like it was very peaceful for your girl. Many hugs to you on this sad day and all the coming days. :bighug::bighug:
