Kayli had Glipizide and chromium for diabetes... chromium got her down to a thin body again. i just crushed it and put in am and pm canned food. you know every time one got sick i looked at better foods. im using Rachael Ray dry and my boys share a can of fancy feast at night and i add water to it so they slurp up what they oerceive as gravy. Not a lot of volume in splitting a can, but since canned food is to get water into kitties and I add water (about 1/4 can of water to each 1/2 can of food) vet said that was even smarter. We're in the southwest, so extra water is good.

yeah i hear you on vet expense, i switched vets to the clinic we use now is 24/7, several vets on staff, better equipment on hand including ultrasound and cat scan. i dont do pet insurance, not sure its worth it. have you used it?

so you let her go right then? think i would have had a few days at home before. like that person who had a day or so that was just for their dog, all his favorites to eat and do... not sure i could do all that and then put him down either. with kayli i kinda knew it was her last day... I had been on medical leave for a few weeks for major surgery. My sister had left and then I had told Kayli it was my last day with her at home ( before returning to work) and its like she just went downhill all day, didnt want to eat - not good for diabetes! I spent the day and evening showing her videos of those we've lost, people and pets she had known, the radio show she liked to listen to. Charlie washed her and kneaded her back and shoulders and then I just knew she needed help letting go... i know I did. I put her in the carseat and drove to the nearest 24/7 emergency center. The same place we went after she had had her stillborn kittens, the same place I had gotten her surrogate kitten from... they put me in one room to fill out paperwork, took her in another room and i had hardly filled anything out and the nurse came to get me quickly. Kayli was already going, vet just gave her something so she wouldnt struggle and she was gone. She had been a part of my life for so long, vacations to other states, two times by air, moving from state to another, with me for a divorce, for my mom dying, health problems for both of us, feeding her with syringes, tending to her with breech birth, and loss, and dressings on her breast cancer, bringing home her surrogate kitten and listening to tell me how happy she was and thank you. And I still thank her for the opportunity to have had her in so much if my life.

Give your Boo a extra cuddle for me.

so, i type so much.
