Ah right - my vet has tried that before, it isn't a nice place to be in.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #120 on:** January 10, 2008, 20:54:01 PM »

Des, Sean just wouldn't have allowed it because of the financial side, it's easy vets saying they won't allow you to do something, but Sean forgets, I do rescue, he is a vet and I can't put a price on a kitten's life if it's possible he could have been saved. Somehow, I would have found the money but sadly I didn't get the chance.

Roz · « **Reply #119 on:** January 10, 2008, 20:44:51 PM »

You've got friends...we could have sorted something out, I'm sure. A life is always worth trying to save...and the money can be found afterwards.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #118 on:** January 10, 2008, 20:41:33 PM »

Dawn, it sounds like you can't feel guilty if Sean wouldnt have let you put him through the op, regardless of his strength.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #117 on:** January 10, 2008, 20:36:13 PM »

It's basically where the blood bypasses the liver instead of filtering through so causes problems.

Maybe he would have been too weak but last week he may have been fit enough to go through it

Sean has said he still wouldn't have let me put him through the op, as it would have cost thousands and he would have to been referred.

Hi Gill

It's the liver. Do you remember Adam, the little guy we helped in America (I think we were on CC then). The Feral Cat Alliance (who we made contact with when helping Abyss) e-mailed us to see if we could help towards the funds needed to operate on Adam. He was a gorgeous little blue boy who had been living rough and was a fraction of the size he should have been at (if my memory serves me correct) seven months and was suffering from liver shunt.

Dawn posted some pix of his vet holding him following the successful (hooray) op and we all fell in love with his handsome vet. Don't you remember?

Dawn reprimanded us all for looking at the vet instead of Adam

but Adam would have been your ideal little guy...he was completely blue and had the sweetest little face.

I wish Jake could have had the same successful outcome....God bless his little soul

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #115 on:** January 10, 2008, 20:19:02 PM »

Gill, I am fairly certain it is a liver problem, although I dont know much about it.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #114 on:** January 10, 2008, 20:09:51 PM »

Roz is right Dawn cos little Jake must have been so weak

I have to say I dont know what a shunt is, its something in the brain isnt it?

Roz · « **Reply #113 on:** January 10, 2008, 20:08:05 PM »

Oh Dawn..

.but would the little babe have been well enough to have the op even if you had had the results back earlier?

So, so sad.

Dawn (DiddyDawn) · « **Reply #112 on:** January 10, 2008, 19:40:34 PM »

Just got back from the vets and Jake's results are back. Sean said it's pretty certain he had a shunt, his Bile Acid levels were more than double after he'd been fed so it would signify a problem there. He is going to phone the labs in the morning to confirm. I feel gutted now

DD, i know you are heart broken , but think of all the love and care you gave to little Jake in his short life and i am sure he knew how speciall he was.

I just wish he could have been saved

I felt so optimistic last night about him thinking his sugar levels were the problem and that could easily be sorted, how wrong could I have been

When I can talk to Sean without bursting into tears, I'll have a chat to him, I know it's not going to bring him back but might it make it easier if we could shed some light onto why it happened.

Quote from: Maddiesmum on January 09, 2008, 15:03:22 PM

Sean sounds like a fantastic vet.

He is and I would trust him 110% and if I had my way, he would be the only one to treat my animals.

ccmacey · « **Reply #96 on:** January 09, 2008, 21:38:22 PM »

Aww so sorry Dawn

RIP Jake, send your mummy a rainbow x

Cheesecat · « **Reply #95 on:** January 09, 2008, 21:01:23 PM »

Oh no, I have been checking this thread and opening it with fingers crossed today

So sorry to hear about poor Jake Dawn - but nobody could possibly have put more effort into helping him than you did - sadly he wasn't meant to last long with you. You can be glad that he had you to look after him and care for him and love him until the end.

Thinking of you xxxxx

So sorry Dawn, he was obviously too good for this world

RIP Jake, safe and sound at the Bridge until your Mum is ready to collect you xx

Thanks for all your kind words everyone

I am going to have to make sure Sean is there before we leave Lily tomorrow

Sarah, it might be best just in case. He was ill yesterday afternoon as well and he was supposed to be doing evening surgery tonight but he didn't, I didn't ask why though, hopefully he'll be okay to go in

Bless you little Jake...you put up such a brave fight sweetheart but heaven wanted you more. Go play in those sun-filled meadows where you will never feel pain again....just joy and love.

I'm so, so sorry Dawn...nobody could have tried harder for the dear little chap than you.

R.I.P. dear baby Jake....you were loved so much and will never be forgotten.

Thinking of you both Dawn

You knew a lot of love in such a short time.

DD, so sorry for your loss. You did everything you could.

Yvonne · « **Reply #83 on:** January 09, 2008, 17:56:38 PM »

Hi Dawn,

So very sorry - not the news that we hoped for.

I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path that has been laid you see.
I took the hand when I heard the call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day.
To laugh, to love, to mew or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void, then fill
it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.
The Bridge wanted me now and set me free!

Jake
