He has been so good with the diabetes. His numbers have always been perfect. Yet he continued to lose weight and his legs getting weaker and weaker.

He stopped eating for 3 days and I took him to the vet. She suspected kidney failure and wanted to do blood tests. I wouldn't let her because he is getting older and he is just so weak and I can tell its almost time :(

For the last week and a half I have been contemplating euthanasia. I cant bring myself to do it. Then I feel bad for Wease. Then I feel guilty, then I feel selfish... Ahhhh.

Id like to test his creatinine at home is possible? The problem is he wont use the litterbox anymore!

I plan on putting him to sleep tomorrow. But his little face next to me right now makes it seem like a dream. I wish he could tell me if he is ready to go or not :(

I plan on having a vet come to my house and do it, less stress for Wease. Then im going to get his ashes back and pour them out where I ride 4 wheelers and snowmobiles.

I love this kitty and my heart aches!
 
Hi Jason and too stinkin' cute baby boy!

I can't answer your question but I know how hard it is to love him across - KT just completed the dance yesterday. It sucks but we do it because we don't want to see them suffer when we can do something about it.

BIG HUGS!!! Thoughts and prayers too...
 
I don't think I can do it yet... I just leaned over wease with my head above his but I couldn't reach him for a kiss. He reached up with his paws and pulled my head closer to his and kissed my chin.... How can I do this to him? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 
When to continue living is to continue suffering, you will give him one last gift and help him across the bridge.
 
Yes we had to help KT cross yesterday.

Hon, think about something please. Instead of 'doing this to him', you're able to give him a gift we cannot give humans that we love just as much. My dad has Parkinson's, end stage - the 'end' will be him unable to suddenly take a breath and he'll suffocate or suddenly be unable to swallow and will drown. We can't do anything to help him....he's laying there softly gasping for breath already. His BODY is wearing out. If we could help him cross, we'd all do it in a heartbeat - that's what HE wants..but we can't. As a parent of a fuzzy feetz, you CAN give him that gift WHEN it's time.

NO You don't have to do it now!!! When his kidneys fail, the toxins back up in the blood and poison him. There are things that can be done for kidney disease - there's a whole group on Yahoo dedicated to CRF. You DO need to know for sure and start treating it. There's others on here with experience dealing with this - hoping they'll jump in soon.

NO you don't have to do it now - not until both of you are ready. I hope it's still a REALLY long time. He'll tell you - the 2 of you have that very close, loving bond....

HUGS!!!
 
It's hard because he is still there mentally. It's as if he doesn't understand why he cant lay down without taking 5 minutes. why can jump on my lap from the floor anymore. why he can barely walk in a straight line without looking like he is going to fall over.

But he is there mentally and I can still see he loves being around me. I am having a hard time taking that away from him.

I don't have the money to keep him alive when I can tell even If I do he wont last.

He was like 22 lbs last year. Then when he got diabetes he was at 12.2 lbs. They weighed him at the vet a week and a half ago and he was only 9lbs! I think he has even lost more since! He is skin and bones! people use to say he was the biggest fattest cat ever!

I feel bad for feeding him anything he wanted thru the years. I probably shortened his life span.

But I can tell you one thing, an animal could not possibly get more love than I gave him his whole life!

He has only been nibbling a little food here and there. Hardly anything really.

It's like a nightmare you cant stop thinking about.
