Had to put our cat down last night. Poor little thing was sick all week, multiple vet visits and she deteriorated rapidly last night. Started as tummy issues but turned into a massive infection and didn't respond to treatment.
Absolutely devastated.
Please hug your pets extra today.
Iβm so sorry, itβs such a hard thing to go through
It was bad. She was pretty young too. We'll manage but the house is so empty right now.
Rough.
So sorry to hear that.
Thanks. The shock of it all took a lot out of us.
Big hugs. Be gentle with yourselves
Thanks, we are. A lot to process very quickly. Try to grieve in a healing way and focusing on the positive impacts the cat had on us and vice versa.
I'm so sorry β€οΈ
Thanks.
So sorry for you and your fam. So devastating to lose one so young.
Thanks. Reality hit this morning when she wasn't waiting at our bedroom door for her regular hugs and room inspections.
I'm so sorry hugs
Thanks friend.
Oh no! Iβm so sorry to hear.
Iβm so sorry. Melbcat will be squished
She deserves it :)
My condolences β€οΈ
Thanks. Little dog better get some extra treats today.
He will
Its the hardest thing to do. Mine have been hugged for yours β€οΈβπ©Ή
Thank you. Hug them a few more times ;)
Will do
Oh gosh. Huge internet hugs.
That's a tough decision to make, but so good of you to not let the little one suffer any more. Sending you and the fam lots of love and warmth!
Thanks, she was getting so bad even the vets said it's low chances she'll make it. Wish I could have hugged her more.
So sad, sorry to hear. Pets lives are too brief.
For real. We made the best with the time we had.
