Mogs was the same and ate jist before we went to the vets. I think she knew what was happening and was thanking me before hand if that makes sense.
love

Philip

*hugs*

I'm sure if you are wrong the vets will tell you when you get there

It does sound like you have done everything you can for Delphi and maybe this is just her time

Such a difficult and sad time for you

Thinking of you

So terribly hard Phillip but you have been here before and am sure you know what you are doing. I feel for you so much

Philip · « **Reply #44 on:** February 21, 2011, 14:12:49 PM »

Carol I hope so.

I couldnt bear to think I have got this wrong.

Oh this hurts so much.

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #43 on:** February 21, 2011, 14:05:49 PM »

I think she knows you are giving her the ultimate gift and the purring is her way of thanking you.

Oh Philip I am so sorry to hear this, I know what you are going through, I have just lost my Dad and I am going through something similar to you with my Spotty although he is not incontinent.

Thinking of you - enjoy your last hour together xx

Philip · « **Reply #41 on:** February 21, 2011, 13:58:32 PM »

Less than an hour left with my baby.

To make things worse, She has just eaten some chicken and purred.

I had to ring the vets to check I am doing the right thing.

I think I'm clutching at straws. She hasn't eaten properly for days and she does look miserable.

I have tears streaming down my face now.

Thinking of you and Delphi.

It doesn't matter how many times you go through a situation like this it never gets any easier.

I have made the appointment for 3pm today to send her to the bridge.

She was incontinent of urine all over the carpet last night and she looks uncomfortable on her heat pad.

She wont purr when fussed and her poor nose is just running with an associated eye discharge.

I have tried antibiotics, vitamin B12, I gave her subcutaneous fluids, She has no interest in food at all.

I feel so torn apart. I know I have tried everything, but I still feel like I'm letting her down. I know that sounds stupid.

So please keep us in you're thoughts and prayers this afternoon. I love this special girl so much. A very much loved and cherished member of the ragdoll gang. I am going to find this really hard even though I have gone through this in the past.

Thank you for all you're support and kindness.

Here is a picture from when she was better. She is such a pretty girl.

So Sorry Phillip and hope Delphi is having sweet dreams

Philip · « **Reply #16 on:** February 20, 2011, 23:18:25 PM »

Sadly I think Delphi is dying.

She has stopped eating and is just sleeping on her electric bed.

I don't feel she is suffering so there is no need for my vet to intervene tonight.

Part of me hopes she goes in her sleep peacefully. It's like when my mum passed away. She just fell asleep and the next morning passed on, but she wasn't in pain and wasn't suffering.

I feel so sad right now. I have battled hard over the last 3 years with Delphi.

I truly believe I have tried everything and have gone way beyond.

I hope I am wrong, but I just don't think I am. I have seen this so many times in humans being a nurse.

cazzer · « **Reply #15 on:** February 17, 2011, 18:22:20 PM »

hope she continues to improve

Very sad time.
