Alexandra is alive this morning, but barely. Eight o’clock cannot come fast enough for us. When I went in at 4:00 a.m. to check on her and give her fluids and try to get her to eat, I found her sitting (propped up) near the litterpans. She had pooped but it did not look normal. It had a lot of grey mucous in it. I gave her fluids, she tried to swallow some food for me and I wrapped her in a blanket and put her back on the pet heating pad. I gave her a pain shot as well- her rear legs sort of swing back and forth and her belly is bloated and soft. In other words, she is a real mess. Her eyes are completely blown out- so among all of her issues she is also blind. She is just bone- no reserve fat, muscle, tissue anywhere. Total fluids given since arriving 600 ml. This just makes me so angry- I push the anger aside because it serves no good purpose. I will be at my vet’s door right at 8:00 Please send prayers-
She was euthanized shortly after arriving to the vet. Kitty was ancient, she was full of fluid in her chest and abdomen. They believe she either suffered a massive heart attack or had FIP. At least, she did not die, alone and in a culvert! Despite putting her the warming cage and giving her warming fluids, wW could never get her temp over 92 degrees. It was 84 degrees when she first arrived. Someone dumped her to die. 🙁
Praying for Alexandra.
Angry is right. Alexandra was kept until she became old or sick, and a burden. Then someone got rid of her. She couldn’t survive on her own. You gave her as much comfort as she could feel in her last hours. Godspeed, Alexandra.
