Thanks Guy's I really appreciate the support, Just wished my mother had been a frequent user here too ( She is Registered )
Korkys Mum
But never got into the forum thing
I haven't spoken to Her yet as I am back offshore, no words could give her comfort, I just know she will not be taking this well,
and that every morning when she wakes up, she will be heartbroken all over again

I have also changed the date as it was my mum in-law that told me Korky was sent to the bridge on Saturday, I spoke to Carol tonight
and she told me it was 10:30am sunday morning, and that He did have a tumor in His intestines and that there was nothing more that
could be done

Thank you all again

I'm so sorry to hear that Stuart. Thinking of you all.

Stuart · « **Reply #59 on:** June 12, 2012, 00:52:23 AM »

Sadly Korky was sent to the Bridge on ~~Saturday 9th~~ Sunday 10th june at 10:30am

I only found out yesterday night as my mum sent a txt to Carol yesterday morning
Korky did have a tumor and there was nothing more that could be done

Korky was only 6 or 7, a real shame

Thank you all for your support

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #58 on:** June 10, 2012, 07:55:45 AM »

Stuart I can only send you, your family and Korky

every best wish I can muster for a miracle

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #57 on:** June 10, 2012, 01:43:29 AM »

So very sorry Stuart that Korky is not improving.

Hoping that your Mum can have a chat with the vet and ask him what he would do if Korky was his cat. Its very hard when a cat wont eat and if this carries on then Korky has made the decision.

I know they can tube feed but after seeing this done on Napoleon I would never go there with another cat..............I think! I guess one cant rule anything out when not in the situation.

Sending all my thoughts for Korky and your Mum

Liz · « **Reply #56 on:** June 08, 2012, 22:14:56 PM »

Stuart thinking about Korky and sending

for your Mum

Our vets are very good if we know the end is coming we take the cat in and then leave by the back door and pay whenever only once have we been asked to pay by a new receptionist and the partner nearly had a fit they know where we live and that everything is always paid its the last thing on our minds when we make that heartbraking decision

Janeyk · « **Reply #55 on:** June 08, 2012, 21:34:36 PM »

So sorry to read this Stuart. Poor Korky

Heather has some good suggestions there I do hope something can be done to help him

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #54 on:** June 08, 2012, 21:23:29 PM »

Oh Stuart it must be so difficult for you trying to deal with this at a distance and so difficult for your mum not having you close when her much loved cat is so poorly.

I know that you both love Korky to bits and will not fail him. Wishing strength to you, your mum and Korky.

LouiseJ · « **Reply #53 on:** June 08, 2012, 13:17:40 PM »

So very very sad. Not sure if it will help but when Chelsea wasn't eating or drinking much I bought a plastic syringe from the chemist avd used it to get some water down her.

heather sullivan · « **Reply #52 on:** June 08, 2012, 12:25:50 PM »

Ahh poor Korky. If it was me, I wouldnt give up yet,especially as he is still very young. They can tube feed cats that refuse to eat to get nourishment into them to build them back up before considering further treatment?

But its your mums cat and she knows him best

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #51 on:** June 08, 2012, 12:24:36 PM »

Am so sorry, Stuart.

sheilarose · « **Reply #50 on:** June 08, 2012, 12:22:38 PM »

Oh so sad. It does sound like it really is his time, and your Mum realises this too. She needs to find the strength from somewhere to do what's right for Korky now.

Can the vet come out to your Mum to assess Korky and help him on his way if need be, Stuart? It may make the decision and the event easier for your Mum.

It might take you calling the vet on her behalf, and perhaps arranging payment over the phone?

At least that way your Mum doesn't have to travel, make the decision by herself, arrange payment etc. when she's so upset.

Once again, I'm so sorry it has come to this, it's breaking my heart to think how you must be feeling right now.

Stuart · « **Reply #49 on:** June 08, 2012, 12:05:15 PM »

Thanks Guys

Hi Heather, I do not know the whole story, but I do know that My Mum is really impressed with this vet
~~Months ago Korky started losing weight~~, http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php/topic,37672.msg668024.html#msg668024

Over year ago

Heather, I honestly think it is too late

I txt'd my mum this morning, Korky never ate anything yesterday, and wouldn't take his pill
This morning she tried him with raw fish, He just sniffed it and went back to the bedroom

She says She knows what has to be done, but can't bring herself to do it. I am now away to
txt her back, to let her know that She will be doing what's Best for Korky as hard as it is
It must be done if it is time

This is breaking my heart too, Korky is really one of a kind, I've never seen a Cat so Loving

heather sullivan · « **Reply #48 on:** June 07, 2012, 22:52:44 PM »

is it a certain part of Korky's bowel that is inflamed or all of it? I work for a Bowel Doctor (very interesting

) in a hospital and if people have a similar problem they operate and remove the part of the bowel that is inflamed and then join the ends back together again....... If the vet is saying its too late, I would maybe try a 2nd opinion, or get your vet to either refer or you could contact a veterinary hospital, who research into this type of problem? someone like this?

http://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/vet/smallanimalhospital/

this is interesting, has your mum tried him on just organic food? interesting that there is a gluten free cat food:

Oh Stuart, what a worry. Poor, Korky, poor Mum.

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #46 on:** June 07, 2012, 18:50:01 PM »

Oh Stuart. My heart goes out to you and your Mum.

Stuart · « **Reply #45 on:** June 07, 2012, 18:48:25 PM »

Korky has not had a good day

got a txt from mum saying that he has not eaten a thing today
and had to give him his pill forcibly, She has also said His Personality
has changed,
I think it may be time

but then again, I'm not there

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #44 on:** June 05, 2012, 17:54:35 PM »

Thinking of your Mum and Korky, Stuart.

Difficult enough at the best of times, but as you say, living in a remote location doesn't make veterinary care very easy.....

Stuart · « **Reply #43 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:54:19 AM »

Thanks folks, I am home just now, but mum is 150 miles away
as they are in a remotish part of scotland, getting a vet is not that simple

I thought Korky had an appointment to see the vet on Tuesday ( Tomorrow )
but i am just off the phone with my mum and he hasn't

She did say he had a good day later on yesterday and that there was a stool in his litter tray
so far today he has just sniffed at his breakfast, prednisolone is the medication he is on atm

I'll keep you all updated, Thanks again for your support

sheilarose · « **Reply #42 on:** June 03, 2012, 21:09:52 PM »

Just to recap for anyone who is new to this case

"The vet they are now seeing has said that the Bowel is still inflamed, even with the med's
eventually Korky will stop eating, and when that time comes they will have to let go

Basically the vet has said that it was caught too late"

That's why I want to know if you're home, to talk to your Mum and help Korky out of his pain

So sorry, Stuart, this sucks.

bunglycat · « **Reply #41 on:** June 03, 2012, 21:01:36 PM »

I would get him to the vet ASAP .
Have you got any Lectade ? That's good to keep in of they aren't eating , also Aviproplus is for poorly gets , a kind of pick me up . Both can be got from VetUK . Aviproplus is a 100g tub for around £6.50 .
Hope Korky s better soon

cazzer · « **Reply #40 on:** June 03, 2012, 20:59:51 PM »

going without food can also cause fatal liver disease so yes, he needs to see a vet asap. Will be thinking of the poor boy x

Peggy C · « **Reply #39 on:** June 03, 2012, 20:53:46 PM »

I agree 3 days is too long to go witjhout food He needs to see a vet These things always happen on a Bank Holiday

Liz · « **Reply #38 on:** June 03, 2012, 13:57:56 PM »

Stuart he need to go to the vets asap as he will be dehydrated which causes more issues xx
