This is Stinky's momma here. He had a tough day yesterday and just kept getting worse, he couldn't bouce back from this hurdle he was going through.
Yesterday afternoon, I noticed he couldn't use his back legs. He would just kinda scoot around to where he needed to go. His personality and attitude was the same. Not a cry or whimper out of him but he never shown pain unless it was serious. We took him to the vet and they said he had one or more blood clots in his legs. We started him on blood thinners and dr. said to give him three weeks of antibiotics and a baby aspirin every three days.
We got him home and everything seemed normal (except for the lack of usage in his back legs but he was getting around better than earlier) Then later on in the evening, he was crying and whimpering. He was gasping for air and couldn't get comfortable. We took him back to the dr. and he shown he was in a considerable amount of pain. He cried and yelped everytime the vet touched him. The dr. thought he had some nerve damage or something because although he didnt have much feeling in his hind legs, he sure felt tons of pain in his spine all the way down his back.
We didn't want him to be in pain and the dr. said most pets don't come out of this so we decided to let him go. We stayed through the whole process. He licked my hand but wouldn't look at me much. I petted him and told him we all loved him and that he was done fighting. I feel like I lost my own child..but of course, thats what he was to me...my baby. I feel he's walking around the house with me and will always be by my side.

Yes, you gave your beloved cat a wonderful gift by unselfishly releasing him from his pain....even if it meant losing him. Just remember that your cat loved you and probably his happiest times were when you were together and he was making you smile....so you keep that in mind and smile at his memories and let the pain go. He would have wanted his momma to be happy. I am sure he would tell you he is in a better place now without pain and free of diabetes and is strong and happy. He will be waiting for you on the other side of the bridge. I also think he would thank you for all the years of love and care you gave him. May God bless you during this difficult time. Hold your memories of him close....remember god gives us memories so that we may have roses in winter......with your memories....Stinky will never truly leave you. Mary, Billybob, and Family

I'm so sorry for your loss. At least Stinky is no longer in pain and can be well again at the bridge. Hugs to you all from us.

I am so sorry for your loss. My mom goes to the
^*^Over the Rainbow^*^ group since we lost my older sister Chelsea. She wasn't diabetic like me but had kidney problems and all of a sudden got real bad. Mom had to make the decision to let her go all by herself since my dad was out of town. Chelsea had just turned 17. Loosing us is the hardest part of being a parent but we all know how much you love us. You can talk to folks over at Rainbow who know just how you feel. Take comfort in knowing you did the right thing.
