As you all know kitty had to go to the vets earlier in the week as i believe she has feline ashtma she has an appointment for tommorrow to do tests but i have just now had to phone the emergency out of hours vets as she has been coughing loads and cannot breath without panting like a dog she has cry all round her eyes and is breathing very heavily :'( :'(
Im sorry but i just had to share this with someone as both me and my gf are both very upset she is only 1 years old and really don't want to loose her.
I think even the kittens know she is ill as they are both laying right next to her and keep licking her :Luv:
I will let you all know on any progress
-
oh how awful.... i really hope she improves soon :hug: are you taking her to the emergency vets tonight? best wishes x
-
Yes,
Ive called them out and they are now going to come out in the pet ambulace its costing £150 just to call them out but i cant risk loosing one of my babys :'(
-
well i truly hope she'll be ok. she's very lucky to have a lovely slave to love her and look after her and do this.... :hug:
let us know x
-
I will do,
She has now gone i wanted to go with her but obviously couldn't
I bet ill be up all night worrying and wanting to call them to see how she is
Thanks for your support i know its only a few words but it helps :hug:
-
I am so sorry, I hope they can work a miricle with her :hug: :hug:
-
Oh Tez, I'm sorry to hear this, I Really Hope she will be Ok
Keep us updated on Her Progress :hug:
-
:thanks: :hug:
Me 2 she was till panting like a dog when they took her im so worried about her and my gfs blaming herself for not taking her to the vets when she first started coughing a couple of weeks ago but like ive told her it seemed like a furball we gave her the paste and she got better so she isnt to blame.
Hopefully theres some good news in the morning, Dont know how im going to pay the bill as according to the vets my insurance wont cover the emergency call out fee :Crazy:
Going to read my policy now
-
Oh Tez, I'm sorry to hear this, I Really Hope she will be Ok
Keep us updated on Her Progress :hug:
I will let you all know as soon as i know anything, i doubt i will be able to wait for the vets to call me i know ill end up calling them i just wont be able to help it
-
They should cover emergency treatment as long as you are not up to the limit but dont know about Pet ambulance........wish we had something like that here.
-
its very handy even though the first time i have had to use it and hopefully the last, Doesnt say if it covers eithier so will have to call them in the morning
-
Oh Tezz....Sending you positive vibes for kitty to be okay :hug: :hug:
-
insurance should cover an emergency call out if it is actually an emergency. They require a statement from the vet that it was a life-threatening incident. Hope she is better by now.
-
Fingers crossed for her.
-
Hope she is getting better. Lots of :hug:
-
I'm keeping everything crossed for her. I hope she's better today.
The insurance will cover emergency treatment provided your vet can verify it was necessary.
-
I do hope she's OK :hug:
-
I hope she's feeling better today. I think asthma is very controllable these days. :ahh:
-
Any news on Kitty :hug:
-
Thinking of Kitty, any news ??
:hug:
-
I hope shes ok?
Please dont change her argos policy now or you could find yourself without full cover!
-
How is Kitty doing,really hope she is ok :Luv:xx
-
Kitty peacefully pasted away at 4:30 this aftrenoon :'( :'( :'( :'(
They done some xrays and you couldnt see her heart as it was surrounded by fluids and her lungs were tiny they tried to drain all the fluid but sadly her heart stoped whilst they were doing it they tried to bring her back but had no luck :'(
They think it was a tumour of some sort but may of even been FELV they are sending the fluids of to the lab to be tested.
Me my gf and her mum havent stopped crying since we got that phone call. :'(
-
So sorry to hear that Tez. Sounds like congestive cardiac failure from your description but I guess the vets know best. How sad to lose her. It seems like fate that you have those two busy little kittens to keep you distracted. :hug:
-
I don't think the vets really know what was wrong with her to be honest, We saw the xray and there was no heart to be seen it was that bad but she didnt seem that ill at all the little fighter just couldnt fight no more.
Atleast she isnt suffering and im quite relieved we didnt have to make the decision wether to PTS or not they rang me and explained and said we needed to think about it as thingd didnt look promising then 35mins later they rang to say her heart had stopped whilst they were draining the fluid :'( :'(
She was only just over a year old and we had her 3 months atleast the life she had with us was good :'(
-
They keep looking for her and sniffing her bed there really going to miss her as she was just like a mum to them :'(
-
I am so very sorry tez, what a terrible thing to happen.
At least you did everything you could to help her and the vet gave her his very best shot.
My thoughts are with you and your gf :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
RIP Kitty taken too young but you will never be forgotten.
-
I am so sorry for your loss, Tez.
She had a wonderful life with you, that is the most important thing. :hug:
-
:thanks: gill
all this support helps at the moment she was only a baby :'( all 3 vets at the practice tried there best but nothing more could be done :'(
She is now buried under an oak tree at the bottom of my gfs mums garden as we will be moving near there soon and can see her whenever we like she is there with lots of other cats and i know she would love it under that tree as when she went to stay there she would lay under that tree.
I would of got her crematred but just havent got that sort of money :'(
-
So sorry Tez, thinking of you and your GF at this sad time.
RIP Kitty - play hard at the bridge little one xxx
-
I am so sorry for your loss, Tez.
She had a wonderful life with you, that is the most important thing. :hug:
In the time she was with us she climbed and got stuk up a tree, Made a friend/BF who she brought back, Sat and watched birds from the window, Woke us up in the mornings for her breakfast and loads of other lovely things.
I spoke to the rescue that she came from and even the lady there cried and blamed herself as they dont test for felv
-
ach!!! :(
I'm So Sorry Tez, Like Black cat said maybe it was not meant to be :(
You did your best and gave Her a HaPPy Life while she was here..
Thinking of you both :Luv: :hug:
R.I.P. Kitty have fun at the Bridge :Luv:
-

You may well be right and that could be why the 2 little kittens came in to our lives which are both curled up on my gfs lap atm
The vets believe she has probably been poorly all her life as her lungs were small and like the vet said as she has grown her lungs havent so tiny little lungs had to controll a adult cat.
The way we are tring to cope with it is thinking atleast she isnt suffering because if she hadnt of died whilst they were doing it she would of died very soon or had to be PTS.
Thanks for all the support everyone it means alot :hug:
-
So sorry Tezz :( :hug: :hug: RIP Kitty.....play hard and the bridge with all our babes :Luv:
-
I'm so sorry - poor Kitty. She knew she was loved and was well looked after by you, and as you say maybe this was the best way for her in her situation as she didn't have to suffer and struggle for a long time , but very hard for those of you left. :hug: :hug:
-
Thats sad. RIP Kitty :(
-
Tez that's so sad. RIP little Kitty. Enjoy the little babes you have left they will bring you comfort when you need it most

I think its probably made it alot easier by having tiggy + pippin,
Me and my OH have stopped crying for now and just thinking back over all the lovely happy times we had with her in her short life,
She will never be forgotten no matter what she was our first cat together and is loved dearly
-
It's important to remember the happy times and smile. Helen (Tiggy's mum) has some beautiful poems, they make you cry but are so lovely

Aw bless hopefully she sees this post and puts one in here,
I have loads of pictures on my camera and my phone which im going to get printed tommorrow and get an album full of pictures of my gorgeous baby :Luv:
-
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.
I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there. I do not die.

So sorry to hear the sad news :( It must be such a shock for you both, losing any pet is heartbreaking but to lose Kitty so young must be devastating. From what you said in your posts it seems that she was happy and healthy right up until the end, perhaps it was a blessing that she wasn't made to suffer or have a long drawn out illness :hug: If you PM me your email address I'll send you a collection of words and poems that I've gathered :hug:
Remember Our Love
I was chosen today
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry
And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone
When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.
Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.
-
Thanks you both for such lovely poems :Luv: it means alot when we are going threw such a tuff time just cant get over how young she was :'(
Ive pm'd you helen
-
I'm so sorry for your loss.

Oh my goodness i missed this yesterday
I am so so sorry -
I was praying that ^Kitty^ would be ok.
It does sound like FeLV and there would have been nothing you could have done for her, I know this doesnt help you at the moment though.
Bless her heart at least she had a Mummy and Daddy who gave her a wonderful life and loved her lots.
-
:hug: :hug: to you and and your girlfriend.
RIP Kitty babe xxxxx

Thats how we have been thinking about it atleast she died peacefully and we didnt have to make that tough decision for her, The vet had already warned us before she pasted away that if it was bloody fluid she would live a horrible life and the kindest thing to do would be PTS but it didnt come to that as her heart stopped whilst they were getting the fluid they got over half a pint from her and was still more to come :'(
Still don't know what it was but could of been one of many things the poor baby :'(
-
Have just sent you an email Tez :hug:
-
:hug: :thanks:
I will go read it now
The poor little kittens keep looking for her, Firstly they left there mum to come live with us and now theyve lost there adopted mummy who they loved very much and she loved them back :'(
-
Just thought i would post this in here aswell so that those of you who havent seen it my other thread can see it in here
The vet called today with the result of the tests they have done on the fluid removed from kittys chest and it was a tumour and they think it was on her heart as they could not see her heart on the xray, they think see may have had it from when she was a kitten and it was passed down from her mum due to how small her lungs where so her little furbabe sisters and brothers have proberbly joined her at the bridge. the vets where suprised how otherwise healthy she was as her coat was so clean and usually they just give up, he was allso suprised she had lived this long so she fought hard and pushed for one more day every day and hid her illness well from her human mummy and daddy till the very end. one more day kitty
