It is with great and intense sadness that I post this post. Tawny passed away just after midnight.
She was in the ER.
Wednesday night when I got home from work she didn't want to eat. I assist fed her all night but by morning she was hiding and weak and lethargic. So off to the ER vet in Mandeville (where they saved her before a few years ago) we went. She was in critical condition by the time we got there early yesterday morning (it's about 50 miles). They triage'd her and she had to be hospitalized. At about 5 p.m. they said she had stabilized and that she was sleeping peacefully.
The first call from the vet came in at 12:06 a.m., the next at 12:08, the final at 12:38. I don't have a landline anymore and since I live waaaaaaay out in the woods and I have an antique cell phone it doesn't always ring and even the voicemails don't always get delivered for hours, sometimes days. I woke up about 3:45 a.m. (just a few minutes ago) and just as I started pushing buttons on my phone to call them & check on her it showed that I had 2 messages--the vet had called & left messages just after midnight that she really needed to talk to me. I knew what that meant and of course I called right away.
She said Tawny had gone into cardiac arrest just after midnight and did not respond to anything they did, but that her passing was very peaceful.

I love you, honey.
