    Nor sure if this where I post this. But Malcolm was put to sleep today. It was just so sudden. He ate all of his breakfast, he had a normal poop, which it had been a while on his own without miralax or lactouse. And his AMPS was in the 200s. He did seem off but he's been like that since his second solensia dose. The vets believed his brain was swelling from the tumor from the acromelagy. So I had to make the hardest decision and let him go. He was finally getting good bg numbers too. :(

    ((((Heidi)))) I am so sorry you had to let Malcolm go. :bighug::bighug::bighug: You were doing such a good job with him and he was such a complicated cat. I'm sure he knew how much he was loved.

    This is the hardest decision of all to make. Know that you did all the right things. Take care of yourself now - this is a hard time.
    Fly free sweet Malcolm. cat_wings>o

    Oh Heidi, I’m so very sorry to read this post. Malcolm was such a sweet boy and you did such a wonderful job taking care of him. I know he knew how much you loved him. What a kind and generous thing you did for him if he was suffering.
    Wishing you healing and in time, peace. It’s so difficult to go through this.
    Sending you prayers, strength and gentle hugs. My heart aches for you :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

    My heart breaks for you. I'm sorry.
    And although the most compassionate thing we can do for them, it hurts the most.
    May Malcolm fly high and land softly on the other side cat_wings>o:rb_icon::cat:

    Thank you everyone for your kind words. They really mean a lot to me. I'm having a hard time since he was finally getting low numbers, only to have his acromegly get worse. :(

    The pain is real. I'm sorry for your loss. Looking at my Leo's last few weeks makes me cry huge! I couldn't even make a GA post until today. I always cried when I read these kind of posts because I knew one day it would be our experience. Then it happened, 3/28/24.

    Now I'm crying for your loss. I probably shouldn't reply until I have something positive to say. Hugs to you.
    XOXO
