| Amanda saying good bye to Angel My sweet daughter absolutely loves animals, and our animals love her. For the past 3 weeks, our snowshoe cat, Angel, has been having trouble breathing. She sounded like Darth Vader with a cold. We took her to the vet and tried her on 2 different rounds of antibiotics, neither of which made a difference. Then her nose started bleeding a bit and wouldn't stop. She began having behavior changes, lost one quarter of her body weight, and was still struggling to breathe. Yesterday, we took her back to the vet. An X-Ray showed what appeared to be a tumor in her nasal cavity. Some things can't be fixed. My little girl cried as I explained that it was time to have the kitty put down. I did the best I could to get her to understand that the cat was miserable and likely in pain. It was so hard to tell her that there was nothing me, or the vet, could do to save the cat. The ride home broke my heart as I listened to my little girl cry in the back seat. I felt terrible that this was something I couldn't fix, and completely helpless as she sobbed for her sweet kitty. Today, she is still sad and a lot of tears have been shed...And I'm crying with her. |
