On Monday, 22nd October at about 4:30 pm our vet put him out of his
misery.
After his stay at the animal's hospital we gained some hope. But back
at home he ate less from day to day, no favourite food, no treats
could help. With all his dwindling strength he struggeld against
giving him medicine directly into his mouth. Only his heart tablets -
crushed and put into butter - he accepted till the end.
He stopped cuddling with us. Then he rejected his heart tablets as
well. He wouldn't drink any more. When I held a wet finger before his
mouth, he just turned his head away.
His strength was weakening more and more. We then decided to end his
pain.
We buried him the same evening in our garden - side by side with
Zwinkie, who left us in May 2001 due to reneal failure as well.
Very sad greetings
Michael

I am so very sorry Micha and Andrea,
it is so damn hard, heartbreaking. Everytime.
But - you did the right thing letting him go.

I am very sorry, Michael. I know how it hurts. But you did the most loving
thing for him.
Renal failure also took my DD a few years ago.

{{{{{{{{{{Michael}}}}}}}}}} I'm so sorry to hear this - we've lost so many
of our babies this year on this group, it's breaking my heart! Please
accept my deepest condolences for your loss - I'll light a candle tonight to
help guide Blacky on his way to the Bridge - there will be lots of friends
there to greet him and make him welcome.
Hugs,
CatNipped

Condolences on your sad loss. Many/most of us here in this fine group of
people will empathise as we've been where you are and have gone through the
same grief. I hope it helps just a bit to know that you aren't alone.
Hopefully too your years of happy memories with Blacky will stay with you
after the current sharp pain has diminished.
Empathetic purrs
