I know, what a strange request to ask you to pray for a cat who has passed- but I was mistaken. I dropped her off to the vet’s early this morning asking them to please put her down- but they didn’t. She didn’t present with any symptoms (according to my vet) to validate putting her down and although he saw her three days ago and she has since lost 2 pounds since that visit- that’s apparently not enough to follow my wishes.
I am so sad and angry right now. I promised this sweet girl her suffering would be over soon and I lied to her without knowing it. My vet is going to keep her and “watch her” and see what she does because according to him, he took an oath to “do no harm.” I told him when we met tonight that I assumed he would follow my wishes. He knows that I don’t throw in the towel unless it has to be thrown. So she is alive and I will say she is pissed off right now. She hates cages and she is in isolation so there isn’t anyone going to be with her except for a few hours on Sunday,
I told him I know she doesn’t have a fever now- the fever comes and goes but when it hits, it hits her hard and she suffers. She MOANS for heaven’s sake- MOANS in pain and tries to bite anyone who wants to lift her up or hold her. I told him I thought he would trust me and do what I asked because I had promised her this morning- her suffering would end.
He also does not share the opinion of the feline specialist and says that wet FIP is not the culprit- I reminded him of the dry version-
Please just pray for her. She is all alone, confused, scared and feeling abandoned again. I would have never seen this coming at all- never. I hope they find out what is wrong with her- but I have my doubts. It just sucks for her- she showed me last night that she was ready to leave this earth. I told my vet that had he seen her at 2:00 a.m. lying in my arms like a wet noodle, drooling heavily, groaning and switching her tail, he wouldn’t even hesitate, he would have put her down on the spot.
That is strange to say the lkeast that the vet would not follow your wishes. Vets are ready enough to despatch healthier cats.
Can you not take Muggles to another vet? This one clearly is not doing what is right for this cat. I would remove her from his hospital and take her elsewhere, if you can.
I’m so sad for Muggles and sending purrs to her. When a veterinarian swears to “do no harm,” I would think that also means not make their patients suffer… and it sounds like that is just what is happening here.
Remember, you said in the post before last, that it was time to “Let go and Let god.” Well, just maybe, he heard you, and is acting through your Vet to save little Muggles, and bring her back to health. There are unusual things going on here. Strange things, Maybe, magical things. This is the kind of Vet. I would want.
We had such a bad night with her on Weds and she was suffering so much. She hates being in cages and has pulled her claws out before when confined it just broke my heart to leave her there. She was so angry looking- not sad just really angry. She’s had a really bad life before coming here and I just wanted her to have some peace- but Rocky you are right. It isn’t about what I want and thinking about it- I tried to get her pts twice and it all fell through (long story) and an odd one. I talked to a friend of mine last night who used to work for this vet and she told me that he is known to doing this- especially when it comes to young cats and Muggles isn’t even two.I asked her how this defiance worked out and she said it varied. Sometimes the cats died, sometimes they survived. Let’s just hope that this kitty survives. At least they aren’t going to charge us for anything they do for her which in itself at this point and time is a minor miracle.
We lost Skittles yesterday as well so it was a rough day here. I let my emotions get control of me- so close to losing Hobbs and all. I should have stood behind my oath “Let Go and Let God.” I’ll let you guys know how it goes with Muggles as the days pass.
