RIP sweet Tigger
 

Thank you Joy for saying what I could not.
It happened so fast. After I wrote on here, I decided to find a way, I rushed him to EMG. As I suspected he was completely blocked, the other times were not as bad. The vet there told me that he was in so much pain. I asked for them to put a catheter in him, and give him anti inflammatory, so he will be ok until the next day.

7am I rushed him to my vet clinic and saw a very caring new Dr. She touched him and told me that his bladder was full, touching him made it worse.

She brought him in the back, did an xray, came back, showed me the size of bladder.

The vet looked at his file and noticed that this has happened 3 times in the past year, each time getting a lot worse.

She also pointed out that he has a very small urethra, and food would not even help that.

She came back with an estimate of over 1500$, also with the odds.

She very caringly told me, since he is prone, she can do the catheter, and all the rest, but it can come back in a couple days.

She then proceeded to explain that it is a good chance it would have to be done almost every 6 months.



As much as that hurt me to hear, watching him in so much pain hurt me more. Everything happened so fast, a couple days ago he swatted the newbie to say I want food the next suffering.



I know everyone says quality over quantity, but losing 2 cats at such young ages really is too much for me. Terror 4, Tigger just had his 5th birthday.



I am really going to miss the kisses every morning L

Rottielover I am so sorry for your loss! Take comfort in knowing that you did right by him in easing him over to run free of pain at the rainbow Bridge! It was the kindest thing you could have ever done!

I know it seems that they were with you for such a short time but please remember it was the QUALITY of time they had with you that matters! and they are waiting for you at the Bridge!

RIP Sweet Tigger!

I am so sorry for your loss. This is a pain that is so deep, burning and intense it is unbearable. Know that you shouldered this emotional pain to ease the physical pain your Tigger was suffering.

RIP Tigger - play well across the bridge

Thank you very much for all your thoughts. I have yet to stop crying, I do not know if I could ever explain how special this cat was. woken up with kisses, slept on my pillow, groomed harley, played with the dogs.
I have spoken to Kayla, I let her know it is ok to miss him, and to cry if you are sad. I am still crying over his loss.
I was not prepared to say good bye so quickly :(

Oh Rottie, i'm so sorry for your loss, Its bed enough when you lose a furchild, but when they are extra special and there is a child involved it makes it all the worse. :grouphug:

:rip:Tigger..

I too am so sorry for your loss.

I know that your beautiful Tigger is having the best of times at the Rainbow Bridge. None of us are ever prepared to say goodbye to our beautiful furry babies, but it was such a brave choice of you to ease Tigger's pain and send him to a place where he can be free again!

Remember that he is with you, and you'll be reunited with kisses before you know it! :lovestruck: My thoughts are with you.

I'm so sorry Rottielover :sad:. Lots of hugs to you and Kaila :grouphug: :grouphug:.

i am so sorry to hear about tigger i understand the pain and the suddenness of this happen. i send all the hugs i can to help you through this.

[I][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Lend Me A Kitten



I will lend to you for awhile a kitten, God said.
For you to love while he lives, and mourn when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three.
But will you, 'till I call him back, take care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you and, should his stay be brief
you'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught below I want this kitten to learn.

I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true.
And from the folk that crowds life's land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take my kitten home again?

My heart replied, "My Lord, Thy Will Be Done"
For all the joys this kitten brings the risk of grief I'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may.
And for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay.
But should you call him back much sooner than we planned.
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love we've managed your wishes to achieve,
Then in memory of him who we loved, please help us while we grieve.
When our cherished kitten departs this world of strife,
Please send yet another needing soul for us to love all his life.

I am still struggling, especially trying to stay strong for Kayla, she is a mess, would make it worse for her to see her mommy cry
