Cat Health Update [negative]

Posted 5 months, 28 days ago by Donut-Toast

first of all, I want to focus on the wonderful people that have reached out with kind words and bought an adopt for the vet bills.
It's really hard to put into words the immense impact your kindness has had on my day to day life. It's literally made it easier to close my eyes before bed, knowing there are so many kind people around the world wishing my cat Eros and me well and talking about their own experiences with a sick pet. And because of your kindness and generosity, I quickly found a bit more than 200 euros on my Paypal! All because you decided to buy an adopt, donate, or give a bit extra than what I asked for. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, to the moon and back, THANK YOU! I'm not sure what I expected to happen when I made these adopts, but certainly not this!

Then now for the sour news...

Last night Eros has a horrible unable-to-shit episode, the likes of which we hadn't seen before. I'll spare you all the details, but it was so bad mum and I weren't sure if we should drive him to emergency care or if he'd even make it past the night at all... So we visited the vet today to check up on him and have another serious talk with the vet about how all the medication, food and laxatives are not working. And at the end of the evening we were able to conclude our worst fears almost certainly are reality, and he has a growth in his intestines. One located in a place so complex and sensitive, it doesn't even matter if it's cancerous or not. If specialised vets try to remove it (though the vet says the area as a whole is a really tough spot to operate on in general), he'll likely get other ailments from it. And that is not something I want to put on my boy, on top of the stress of MORE vet travels and current pains.

So right now all I can do is spoil him rotten and find the right day to have him pass on... I'm hoping to at least get a week or more with him, but I want to avoid another episode like yesterday at all costs.

I'm planning on using the money gathered for his vet bill to buy a nice urn or something else ceramic to put him in.
I'm sorry things didn't go according to plan

Again, thank you to everyone for the well wishes, donations and bought adopts.
You've all shown me that even in such a dark time there are still so many kind people all around us. I'll hang on to that throughout the next weeks.

thank you for all you've done for my baby boy. He turned 11 this year

my heart goes out to both of you <3 take care of yourself. the worst thing about having pets is that that they dont live forever :( i really wish they did, and empathize with how you feel. Eros had a wonderful home with you, and thats the best we can do while they're with us ❤️

I am genuinely so sorry for you, going through a pet loss is so hard, and I can’t imagine how awful you just feel, my heart is with you, I’m sure he’ll love spending his last days with you.

I’m so sorry Donut, that is genuinely awful news no pet owner ever wants to hear :( My lil guy Benny had a really similar problem a few years ago - kidney failure - so I fully understand how crappy the situation is and the feelings behind it. I’m really sorry you and Eros have to go through this, it’s a very cruel fate to have. Hopefully he’s happier with you beside him the whole journey, I’m sure it’ll make him more at ease knowing you’re with him the full way. Please take care of yourself too 💕

I'm so sorry that this is not the answer you wanted... I'm sure Eros has lived such a wonderful life with you and your family. We're all here for you! And I wish nothing but peace and tranquility now and for the future <3...

Gosh I'm genuinely so, so sorry.. While I'm sure it's relieving to a degree to finally have answers, I'm terribly sorry to hear that they're not positive ones. My heart goes out to you, your mum, and of course Eros! May his last days be nothing but peaceful, and I hope when he goes, it's gentle and without any trouble. He's lived a long, lovely life as is, and it's terrible that things like these happen that rob us of another good couple of years with our little family members ;; But he's been loved!! So much!!!! And I'm positive he knows that. Take care, and I hope you and Eros are able to take it easy for the next while. 💕

It's never easy to have to make these decisions for our beloved companions, but rest assured you're making the right one. I hope you can pack the rest of his days with love and affection, and send him off on a happy note <3
