got up this morning, and my cat was limping around like he'd broken his leg... Took him to the vet, and got him exrayed. It turns out it wasn't a broken leg, but perhaps an electric shock that messed his nerves up, but they also found that his lungs were full of fluid and that his heard was the size of a fist...

He might have an untreatable case of heart desease...

:(
 
I am so sorry to hear that, Ravenloft. You have my heartfelt sympathy.
 
Thank you girls. *Sniffling* Thank you...

It just won't be the same without Sumo-kitty...
 
He's at the vets for the night on an ekg, I guess the decision is going to be made tomorow...

Sorry, guy, that's rough. Even if it is a cat I don't like for an animal to suffer.:(
 
It was horrible seeing him like that, he was trying to walk around, and he was panting, and meowing in pain. Just horrible... I would have totally lost it if it had been Salem...
 
God I am so sorry to hear this.

I love my animals with every ounce of me. I have losing them with every ounce too.

You have my thoughts, prayers and love.
 
So that's the problem. You have my sympathy.

From the symptoms, I know what it is. My "kid" has the same thing. But his heart is not that big. The disease can be treated, but it requires meds for the rest of his life, and constant watching.

Let us know. :)
 
(((((HUGS)))))

I'm so sorry, Ravenloft. It's tough making a decision like that. I haven't owned my own pet in a while, but I have in the past. I once owned a cat, Gandolf was his name. He got a rare kind of cancer that caused him a lot of pain. I remember agonizing over him for a long time.

Hugs to you.....my thoughts are with you.

Salems got his paw on my cheek in that picture. *Grinning* "Your in my light bitch!"
 
I'm so sorry about your kitty... I had to leave mine behind when I moved last week. It broke my heart...
 
that's terrible...
I can't even imaging something like that to happen to my cat Ronja... I'm sorry.
 
Wow, thank you all.

We picked him up today, his leg was still limp, but his lungs and heart were looking better... So he might have just stepped in a puddle of water near an electrical cord and given himself a zap...

If its his heart still, my mom has already made the decision to have him put to sleep, cause the one case would only give him a couple more weeks to live, and the other, even with medication, would only give him a year and a half...
 
I'm so glad to hear that Neko is getting better. The bond with a pet is so important and I hope that you get to spend as much time as possible with Neko and Salem.

Praying for all of you, take care!
 
Your plight has made me cry for you all. I've lost a dog and cat in the past year, and my last dog has been ill for the past month. My heart goes out to you :heart: and your kitty:rose:
 
Did you have to show the picture? :(

I hope that's all it was Raven, but if not you have my heartfelt sympathy.

:heart:

I'm too much of a softy to look at it so I know what you mean.

I hope Neko is doing well, too. Most of us would do anything we could to help our pets. They really are part of the family.

:heart:
