Well, she has lost another 1/2 lb, her breathing seems very labored, so I took her in to the vet today. I finally got an xray, I wish I had known how cheap they are. Also got a blood test.

She is anemic at 22% PCV (normal 29?%) and her xray showed her whole abdomen is filled with fluid. The doc tried to drain it to help her breathing out but he couldn't get any fluid out, it wasn't ultrasound guided. we are starting her on lasix to help. So, it's likely diffuse lymphosarcoma causing all this fluid to accumulate.
She is miserable.

After a few days of spoiling her, I am putting her down on Monday.

Saddest day of my life. I love all my cats but I have always said I love Wednesday the most, she is my special girl and she will be missed.

:(
Very sad.

I am so sorry that Wednesday must leave you, but you are giving her the last and greatest gift of love we humans have to give our furry babies. We free them from their pain and take into our own hearts and souls.

Fly Free Sweet Wednesday, there will be many of our GAs waiting for you at the bridge and will keep you company until your Momma can join you, never to be parted again.

I'm sorry that I don't know your Wednesday, but I am so sorry that you have to go through this. I have one fd/acro kitty and now my civie is in the process of bein diagnosed-- it may be ibd or lymphoma. So this hit close to home for me. Fly free, Wednesday wings_cat

Thank You.

I am having a hard time deciding if i should put her down sooner. She seems really sad and uncomfortable.
She has been this way for awhile, really, but now that I know how bad it is....

I am waiting to hear from the vet to see what my options are, since I work everyday until Monday.

Do you think it is incredibly awful to wait until Monday? She is uncomfortable, I am sure of it. But, it is unchanged, no better or worse, it seems?
When is the right time???

Dear Alexia,
I can't tell you what is best to do.
I have had cats that i had to say goodbye to and i've wished i had let them go sooner than i did.

I am so sorry for you. So very sad.
But like Mel said, you are giving sweet Wednesday the greatest gift of all...to be free of pain.
May the Angels comfort you. You have been such a good mom to sweet Wednesday.

I'm so sorry ... I don't think any of us can tell you what the best choice is ..

But I can tell you that when my girl bandit (GA) was getting sicker and sicker, even though I didn't see it at the time I do now, looking back .. and I wish I could have let her go sooner .. I should have done it for her and not kept her going for me .. It's hard to live with knowing that and I promised myself with any future babies I'd let them go when it was their time, not mine .. much easier said then done though isn't it?

Big hugs to you all ...

Dear Alexia,

Even though I am new here and do not really know you or Wendnesday, I feel so sorry you in this situation. :sad:

Like others have already said, I cannot tell you what you should or should not do. As I read your story, it made my think about 2 things. What I would do if it was Casey and I in this position and about my mother refusing to pass-on, dispite how much she was suffering, until all her children were with her.

If it were my Casey, knowing she is very much a Mamma's girl and is terrified of strangers; I think she would have a more peaceful passing if I was with her than if I was not able to be there when she goes. The other though is how sometime loved one hold on so the can be with the ones they love when they pass on. I would have to weigh what would bring Casey more stress, her pain/suffering or her having to be among strangers.

You know Wednesday best, I can tell how much you love your Sweet Wednesday. I know that whatever decision you make...it will be the right one!

Farewell Sweet Wednesday as you move on to the next part of your journey.
And Alexia, may you both be in peace.

Roberta
and Casey
