Well, we have our kids, our grandbabies, and our furbabies. When we get a pet, we commit for life and this time that was a much shorter time than we expected.
We have 3 cats; Nermal, Newton, and Einstein. The last 2 are brothers. They are only 3, but our Newton has had chronic kidney failure since last Summer. We (ie, DH) have given him fluids every night subqutaneously since then and he has done beautifully. Great quality of life, playing with his brothers, not quite as active, but definitely enjoying his life.
We knew things would be taking a turn soon and that happened over the weekend. We have to take him to the vet tomorrow when I get home and have him put down. He is DH's cat and DH is heartbroken.
Some knottie thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. Gonna be a few tough days. Thanks.
