Ems I'm so so sorry sweetheart  :hug:

No words will take away the heartbreak you are feeling right now, but know that you are giving your little girl the greatest gift we can give them, and setting her free when she is ready to go  :hug:

I'll be thinking of you tomorrow honey, and I'm here or on FB if you want to talk  :hug:

Much love to you and Jon, and give Nina a gentle cuddle from me, tell her to go and find Max tomorrow, he'll show her the ropes up on the Bridge when she gets there xxxxx

My poor Nina is dying, she was doing so well but then stopped eating over the last few days, made an emergency appointment for today by which time her skin has gone yellow and she is being sick with what little is in her tummy. They can feel masses on her liver now too. Basically they have recommended that we say our goodbyes as they are not sure she would even make it to Tuesday.

We are having a nice peaceful night together tonight and she is going to the vets first thing in the morning.

So many of you know this horrible feeling, I feel like my heart is breaking, she is part of me, I can't describe it any other way. I so desperately want to do the right thing. I just don't want her to suffer. My baby looks so tired, she hasn't got any fight left in her.

Am sorry I can't type anymore, thank you all so much for all the support I have had ever since I first joined Cat Chat as a first time meowmy with Nina.

Thanks everyone :)

We saw Austin today who is the principal vet (he had a scrubs type top that had a print on which was "Strays Anatomy" with cartoon cats and dogs all over it in medical gear  :evillaugh: )

He had a feel of Nina's tummy and said she is still swollen, he has put her back on the amoxycare and given us a months worth of Hepotcyl. She is due back on the 3rd September for another check up.

They seem very positive about her progress but he did take me to one side and warn me that she could go downhill quickly as her condition is obviously for the most part still undiagnosed. So just keep in touch with them and bring her in to the surgery no matter how small a change in her behaviour might be.

We have also put the claim in now with Sainsburys Insurance so we should hear back from them soon  :)

Just to update Nina has continued to put weight back on and is feeling lots better. She is being kept on the Hepatocyl for the forseeable future. Am back at the vets on Thursday to check on her progress  :)

:) Glad Nina now seems to be picking up, as Helen says baby wipes and sometimes I've drenched a cloth for things like wee.

Thanks Janey, used baby wipes and she is looking and feeling much better  :)
