In loving memory of my baby Louis

[kimmyhm]

So sorry for your loss

Emily this is heartbreaking ! I am extremely sorry for Louis and that he had to see him like that. I'm so glad you hurried the vet up to reduce his suffering. You were amazing mom to him and he is resting in peace now with your love in his heart. Stay strong. Sending huge hugs and comforting thoughts

Just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone for your messages of support, they really mean a lot to my family and I as we are all absolutely devastated by this massive shock - he was our life, one of the only things worth waking up for if i'm honest (things haven't been that great for us recently)

Maybe one day I will get another Sphynx - I know if it is a cat all I will EVER get is a Sphynx because they're such amazing pets, so different to any pet I have ever had before.

I was grooming little Louis to be Sphynx of the Month or Soup of the Day one day because he was so gorgeous with his big blue eyes!! I suppose that wont happen now but if i get another one, Im sure he will

But anyways thank you all for everything and thank you all for your support throughout Louis short little life and untimely death, your comments have helped me and my family a lot.

Thanks again
Emily xxxx

This was so sad to read. I'm truly sorry for your loss. Louis was such a doll and I'm sorry he was taken from you way too soon. It will take time, but eventually your heart will heal some. Perhaps then you will be ready for another sphynx to love as you did little Louis. Hugs to you and your family.

My

I hear my brother has been keeping you updated but I will be as brief as I seriously cannot cope with the situation very well.

On saturday night my little boy was fine, i woke up Sunday morning and he was quiet and wasn't eating so obviously alarm bells started ringing. We took him to the out of hours emergency vets and they sent him home believing him to be happy and healthy. When we got home he still wasn't eating - we were not happy and within 30 mins he was back to the vets. They advised an x ray of his lungs as his respiratory rate was very slightly fast.

They found from the scan that he had an enlarged heart and a pulmonary oedema, they gave us little to hang on, but he was kept overnight on oxygen. Apparently they are born with these? He was a pet only and didnt come with any papers etc. (I have contacted the breeder and she is having his dad castrated tomorrow.)

When we came to take him back to the daycare vets he was breathing very heavily and sooooo cold, i thought this must be it. He took some comfort in the fact that he was surrounded by his family I think.

Anyway the vets tried everything they could and rang us within an hour to give us the options stating that he had taken a turn for the absolute worse. The options were to take him to the Royal College of Vets in London (1 hours car journey away from my house - they were unsure of whether he would make the journey or not) So it was a bit of a no brainer to put my gorgeous baby boy out of his misery.

When we arrived at the vets he was in the most terrible state, I cant even describe how horrendous it was, he had blood pouring out of his mouth... Yes POURING! I didnt really get a chance to say goodbye cos I told the vet to hurry up and do it cos he was sooooooooooooooooooooooo ill! In fact I thought he was going to die there and then without being euthanised.

So there we have it my beautiful blue eyed boy is no longer with me, he was only 4 and a half months old.

I wish everyone on here the best with all your kitties and will check up from time to time on how youre all doing and look at your beautiful pictures and be jealous in a good way.

Thank you all for the support with getting him and making his transition into my home easy, you're all lovely people.

Sorry for the length of this email
Emily

So incredibly sorry for your loss

 

[heather76]

My Vinnie was the most amazing, fantastic animal ever. He would never leave my partners side... We had an amazing bond... He used to groom us all the time, do crazy things like try to walk upright lol...

Wouldn't play with toys though? He only liked to play fisty cuffs with daddy, was a total gentleman to me at all times. He used to call me ma ma!!!

The loss of my Sphynx Vinnie is no different to me than the loss of my human child 12 years ago. Too I'll to have any now.

(I often wonder why some people have everything and others have nothing, even when they are kind, genuine and honest, loyal!!!)

I struggle with any belief there is anything out their????
I'm blessed with the love of my two girls but it's not the same as my boy, can't explain it even though my girls are so smart and play fetch, and bring it back. Say yes and no, they say "tuni" for a tuna chunk treat

 

[heather76]

Just wish my pain would go!!! It could be the fact that I've lost 7 family member and a close friend in that time plus have a father with a terminal brain disease, mother with cardiac failure, Plus I am severely ill too!

Just wish I could find strength from somewhere to get rid of this bloody pain in my heart!

@heather76 - I am so sorry for your losses, I too struggle with understanding the cards we are dealt in life. My only salvation is to take a step back and look at the Blessings I have been given. The past year for me has been heart ache after heart ache, but I see my two baby girl sphynx kitties, my husband, and family and I keep moving along. I have also started to talk to someone to help me through my rough times, not sure if that is an option for you too, but it may be worth a try. Know that Vinnie and your other loved ones lost are looking down on you and they want you have to have all the happiness in the world.

Hugs to you!!!

Yeah well no matter who I talk too and when I talk to them it simply doesn't help. I've been told I have post traumatic syndrome. Since that time life's just got harder as more trauma started. Plus got attacked too!! No fault of my own.

Life is happy but very painful (arthritis and degenerative bone disease and as I have no short term memory and simple tasks very hard to do. I have a wonderful man and my 2 sphynx, I'm sure I'd go mad without them.

Thank you for your amazing love and kindness. My love goes out to everyone with all my heart...
LOVE U ALL AND ALL UR BABY SPHYNX's too.

Heather so sorry what you have been through. These babies become like our children. I understand your feelings. My heart goes out to you. I'm here if you need someone. Thoughts & prayers sent your way.

@heather76 - PTSD is a very real and largely untreated mental health issue. My nephew had it, and there was a type of therapy that helped him. Are you able to get any help for it from a professional? It sounds as though you have suffered many blows. Know that we are here for you. I hope that you still are able to find a source of strength to keep on, for the people that need and love you.

I'm so sorry. Heart hugs to you!
