Philip, I hope you're bearing up. Whatever has happened the emotional stress of these sort of situations is epic.

Hugs to you, hope the vet visit gave positive news for Tiffy.

Aw sweet Tiffy. Hang in there Phillip, I know this is hard. Tiffy is really beautiful.

Philip · « **Reply #61 on:** September 15, 2008, 15:49:00 PM »

Less than 2 hours left.

I have cuddled Tiffy a couple of times. He purrs very quietly now.

I cant cuddle him for long as he just wants to get away.

This is so hard right now.

I don't want him picking up on how I feel, but the tears keep coming.

Tiffy is gorgeous. He is simply beautiful. I am glad he has perked up a little and hope that the news from the vet's is better than you are anticipating. You must be feeling really anxious - I will be thinking of you both and look forward to a positive update

Philip · « **Reply #56 on:** September 15, 2008, 13:03:33 PM »

Just taken these.

MrsR · « **Reply #55 on:** September 15, 2008, 12:48:04 PM »

Oh sweetie I wish I could take your pain away

Philip · « **Reply #54 on:** September 15, 2008, 12:45:35 PM »

Thank you.

He has kept the hills AD down so far.

Might not mean much though.

I'm at that point where I am so hypersensitive to anything. One minute I feel its not time. Then I'm thinking is he suffering.

Then I'm thinking, he might rally again. Then I don't know. Then I start crying because I look at him and realise that my time with him might be coming to an end.

Thinking of You -

This must be the hardest decision, knowing when it's the right time.
I know You will do what is best for Tiffy

Mark · « **Reply #50 on:** September 15, 2008, 11:14:36 AM »

Hoping he can rally today

Stuart · « **Reply #49 on:** September 15, 2008, 10:47:24 AM »

Keeping my fingers crossed

Philip · « **Reply #48 on:** September 15, 2008, 10:44:12 AM »

Vet appointment is at 17:30. I have made it at the end of surgery so if I have to let him go, It can be done without haste and in peace.

He seems a tiny bit brighter to me today which makes this even harder.

He had his bowels well opened this morning. He seems more interested in the world around him.

Just feeding him some hills AD to see if he will keep it down and some more subcutaneous fluids.

My Vet is going to check his BUN levels. If they are too high then I guess I have a really hard heartbreaking decision to make.

My poor baby. Im not going to let him suffer.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #47 on:** September 15, 2008, 09:43:40 AM »

Hope things go well at the vet, Philip.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #45 on:** September 15, 2008, 06:41:33 AM »

Will be thinking of you and Tiffy today, hope things can be sorted and it doesn't come to the worst

Philip · « **Reply #44 on:** September 14, 2008, 22:47:49 PM »

Just done a unrinalysis caught mid stream

Positive to:

leucocytes
protein
blood

specific gravity is 1020 so slightly below normal but at least this shows some kidney function.

Negative to:

Keytones
glucose

Guess I will have to see what the vet says tomorrow.

Stuart · « **Reply #43 on:** September 14, 2008, 22:40:53 PM »

I also wish you and Tiffy strength, courage and lots of luck during this time

I wish you and Tiffy strength, courage and lots of luck.

Take care

Philip · « **Reply #40 on:** September 14, 2008, 21:55:49 PM »

I'm going to ring my vet first thing and talk it over.

If she feels its worth examining Tiffy then I will take him in first thing.

If then she agrees with what I am feeling, then I will arrange to take him back at the end of surgery so it can be done in peace.

ginge66 · « **Reply #39 on:** September 14, 2008, 20:50:34 PM »

So sorry Philip my thoughts are with you

Mark · « **Reply #38 on:** September 14, 2008, 20:46:46 PM »

I'm just sitting sobbing reading your thread. It's very hard to make such a decision but you need to do what's right for your baby.

I'll be thinking of you.

i am sure the vet will help you wtih your decision tomorrow, but both his age and the time he has lived with CRF are very good, and a testament to your love and care.

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #34 on:** September 14, 2008, 19:02:20 PM »

Philip, my thoughts are with you

and with Tiffy

Philip · « **Reply #33 on:** September 14, 2008, 18:50:46 PM »

I thought about doing bloods, but I just think he is 19 now and has had CRF for 3 years and will it really be worth it.

I have given him subcutaneous fluids and syringe fed him for four days and he isnt any better. Maybe I might be lucky and stabilise him for a few more months but I have to be realistic.

All I know is right now he is suffering. He is hiding and lying there in the sphinx position just like Jemilla did and its killing me seeing him like this. He's weak and wobbly on his back legs now Its no life for him.
