prosperia Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I just took the kitty to the vet. Her breathing was really labored. They did xrays and her ribcage is malformed. And combined with a full tummy she cant get enough air into her lungs. All I can do is wait and see if she pulls through. The vet said he wouldnt charge me to let her stay overnite. I just cant watch her suffer like that. Please pray for her. This is so heartbreaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prosperia Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Thank you guys. God I just wanted to sream at someone to help her. I cant stand the thought that there is nothing I can do. On the way to the vet I took the side road to get around the light, I had my emergency flashers on and got stuck behind some guy in a jeep. People can be so stupid sometimes. Cant they understand that emergencies are emergencies. Would it have killed him to pull over and let me by. Sorry, Im just so worked up right now. I feel so helpless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitch Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I understand what you are going through, but believe me, if any species can pull through, it is the cat. They don't have nine lives for nothing! Hang in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordi44 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 I had a cat once with FIP. I know how tough it is to watch them struggling to breathe. Dolly would literally turn blue and collapse. There's nothing worse than not being able to help. Don't give up hope on her. Cats really are amazing. While you're so worried about her, she's probably worried about you. If she makes it through this spell, is there anything the vet can do for her? Hoping you both come through this ok. Hang tough and keep us posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prosperia Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Jordi44, Tell me about your cat. If she makes it through, how do you manage it? Will she grow out of it when she gets bigger? I dont know anything about it. Her ribcage isnt rounded, it turns in. The vet said that it wasnt uncommon. I wish he would have said somthing yesterday when I was there. Somthing like hey, dont let her eat to much there might be a problem. Uggghhh. I wish I had taken her somwhere else. I just took her to the closest vet because I wanted to get her help as soon as possible. But they havent done anything for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prosperia Posted December 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 The little one didnt make it though the night. It just breaks my heart. Sometimes I think life just likes to smack me around, just to see how much I can stand before I break. I'll sure miss the little girl. For the short time she spent with us, she lit up my heart. Thank you for everyone's prayers. I heard that Christmas song today about the little girl named Maria that finds a bird with a broken wing. I completely lost it. "The Gift" A poor orphan girl named Maria Was walking to market one day She stopped for to rest by the roadside Where a bird with a broken wing lay A few moments passed till she saw it For it's feathers were covered with sand But soon clean and wrapped it was traveling In the warmth of Maria's small hand She happily gave her last peso On a cage made of rushes and twine She fed it loose corn from the market and watched it grow stronger with time Now the Christmas Eve service was coming And the church shone with tinsel and light And all of the townfolk brought presents To lay by the manger that night There were diamonds and incense and perfumes In packages fit for a king But for one ragged bird in a small cage Maria had nothing to bring She waited till just before midnight So no one would see her go in And crying she knelt by the manger For her gift was unworthy of Him The a voice spoke to her through the darkness Maria, what brings you to me If the bird in the cage is your offering Open the door, let me see Though she trembled, she did as he asked her And out of the cage the bird flew Soaring up into the rafters On a wing that had healed good as new Just then the midnight bells rang out And the little bird started to sing A song that no words could recapture Whose beauty was fit for a king Now Maria felt blessed just to listen To that cascade of notes sweet and long as her offering was lifted to heaven By the ver first nightengales's song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiegirl Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I am so sorry. Take solace in her knowing that she was loved by you, which is all that we really need in this world. Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smileyzookie Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 aw Im so sorry. Take comfort that her last day was full of love from your family. Isnt it amazing how attached you can become to such a small creature in such short time? Maybe in honor of this small kitty you could adopt another homeless cat. What better way to honor than to save another life? Of course, thats when you and your family are ready. Prayers said for you guys. Thank you for trying to save the little one.
