Today was a bad day. I had to say farewell to my cat Drooler. He had kidney failure caused by the medicine he was given to combat a hyperthyroid. Until a few months ago, he had no problems with his kidneys at all but he'd stopped eating and loosing weight. After a blood test they found he had a hyperthyroid so put him on Methimazole. One of the side effects is kidney failure according to my vet. The medicine seemed to help for a few months until he started having trouble urinating last Tuesday. He had a UTI and the vet put him on Clavamox. He seemed to improve until a couple of days ago when he started stumbling and falling over. He was given fluids under the skin yesterday which did seem to perk him up but it was temporary because by this morning he could barely move so I made the ultimate decision to let him rest and not suffer any more. Never an easy decision. I held him until he drew his last breath.
I shall miss him begging me for steak, salmon, chicken, turkey, hot dogs, pork chops, milk and whipped cream. He was the last of my cats who did beg for people food. Indy and Kitty never beg for people food and are content with canned cat food and dry cat food.
I will miss you so much Drooler, Drooler. Miss you lying on my chest or at my side. Miss rubbing your belly, miss you drooling all over me when I pet you. But I know you're with your cuddle bunny Sweeie Pie who has been waiting for you
