Saying goodbye to Missy soon

Hi all,
I just wanted to post an update about Missy. I took her to the ER yesterday and the vet said Missy’s body is starting to shut down and she’s going into organ failure. Her body is freezing, there’s fluid in her abdomen, red spots under her skin, no muscle mass, her anemia rapidly got worse, gums are pale, etc. Her back legs barely function and after she uses the litter box she just lays down in it because she’s so tired. She’s still drinking water and wanting to be cuddled, but hasn’t been eating on her own. I’ve been syringe feeding her for a few days.

This morning she ate breakfast and is acting relatively normal but I know she’s ready to go. She has light in her eyes still but we’ve both fought for so long and there’s too many issues that cannot be fixed easily or cured and will only get worse. I’ve tried my best. I’m keeping her warm and comfortable until I call a mobile vet to come over and perform euthanasia. Until then she’s on buprenex and getting lots of hugs and kisses.

Thanks to everyone for being welcoming and kind and helping me figure out how to deal with her diabetes. I wish the best for all your kitties.

Oh, Priya... I'm so sorry it's her time, but you are very brave to recognize it even though there is still light in her eyes. It's so important to not wait until that light is gone or you'll always worry that it was a little too late.

I've been following you and Missy since you joined. I promise that you didn't just "try your best", you DID THE ABSOLUTE BEST for her :bighug:

May you both find peace.
 
I agree with everything Sandi & Whisper just posted. It's so very difficult, and I, too, have followed along since you joined. You absolutely have done the best for her and she knows how much you love her. Tears for you Priya, smiles for Missy as she steps into a new realm free of pain and cares. She will wait for you on the other side, carry her love for you with you until you meet again. :bighug:
 
You did, and are doing a wonderful job for Missy. Be kind to yourself in the upcoming days and know that you did what was best for your girl and she so greatly appreciates it.
