Toni’s furry sisters who are littermates

I am so happy Biscuit is home!!!!

We all made it through the night. The cutest thing is that when Foxy decided to follow Biscuit to the water bowl, she looked back at us to see if we agreed it was a good idea. It wasn't long before Biscuit asked to get on my lap and during my potty break, Foxy joined her. Only once did Toni try to bully Biscuit. Otherwise it was a reacquaintment evening. She went many times to drink in each and every water bowl and we accompanied it with food offerings. Usually she partook. It is scary how thin she is. I close my eyes and ask her in my head: are you a brave hurting warrior, or just a warrior? Foxy slept with her and gave her a good bath. I brushed her. She is actually more active than she was before hospitalization. I think we've done right by her. Time will tell. Next doctor visit Thursday.

Very happy Biscuit is home!

By Sunday night she was lethargic. I thought it might be the lack of fluids and called the hospital to ask if it would be ok to start sub Q fluids a day earlier than originally ordered. They agreed and she was more energetic afterwards. They called Monday and again she had drooped and wasnt drinking enough water or eating enough food. We decided on half the fluids every day. We went back for her check tonight and now her heart was enlarged. That was it. We got the news an hour towards home and turned around to give her her wings. She died peacefully in my arms, wrapped in a soft blanket. My heart is broken and this time they suggested we bring the carrier in so the others smelled her scent and weren't afraid. If we left it in the car luke the last time, we wouldn't be able to recreate it. We have to not seem devastated for their sake. Before I worried about leavonb her because I go into the office Fridays…now I guess its better…RIP my angel. May your littermate be well enough to celebrate her 16th birthday in 20 days.

@tuffysmommy , ((squeeze hugs)) my heartfelt condolences she gained her angel wings. You were her champion and she knew the best of love and care beyond measure. She knows. She was surrounded by so much eternal love. I know too well to be their voice with wings of peace and dignity the most heartfelt on the journey of selfless love. She touched all our hearts. We take the pain so they do not have to. To do right by them when they count on us most is true selfless love. The cycle of life with our babies so heartfelt. Hold the precious of moments closest to heart, Remember the love, soo much love. Lighting a candle, here for you as you have always been for me. Our babies are free and whole running free together sharing stories of all the love known in this world. No greater Love. please give her sisters extra head smooches from me.

 

[Catzzzmeow]

Oh no. I am so sorry to see this update. You did everything possibly for that baby…and I mean everything. I know there are no words that can comfort you at this time. Hugs are sent. Fly high little one.

Funny Fun Fact of the day is about paw pads. Biscuit had the biggest most beautiful paws of any I have had but she went from 13 lbs to 6.6 now. She also had an amazing coat that was noteworthy everywhere she went. I never thought about her paws in this horrible illness period. Her coat was a mess last night. This morning I am faced with whether to get a pawprint and whether it will be very disappointing….

 

[Toa and Ross]

Oh no I am so very sorry for the loss of your Biscuit. You gave her so much love and good care.
A paw print can be a lovely memory. I got one in clay from my girl Foxy. Unfortunately they pressed her nails into the clay also. So it is showing the paw print and nail prints. But our girl never ever would get her claws out. So I was very disappointed. If you can't do the paw prints yourself, please tell the vet exactly what you want.
Sending hugs and love.

@tuffysmommy , you are on my heart and mind... ((((hugs))))

 

[tuffysmommy]

Thanks all. We are running our tails off — not home yet. We picked up two automatic rfid feeders for Toni and Foxy (which we must quickly learn how to use) to train them so they can both eat their very different foods in the same locale. I have been very good at not crying in their presence. They will both be furious tonight about late dinner. Nothing like bonding over maltreatment by the common enemy (us). If anyone has an idea of what we can do with the remaining medication, some unopened, to benefit another animal, I would so appreciate it.

 

[Catzzzmeow]

Your vet might take the meds back and share with others in need. That is what ours does.

@tuffysmommy , hugs...
keep us updated on the feeders.

sharing, I donated Tobylove's and Macie Mae's medications back to my vet. she always takes meds to paw it forward to clients in need. She even called me a month later to let me know the kitties names helping on the same journey.

You can also call Chewy and Allivet about refunding. not sure about Allivet, however, Chewy refunded meds and supplements recently purchased and then my pup suddenly gained his angel wings. you can ask to transfer to the Chewy Pharmacy for assistance.

hugs n head smooches, you got this. we are here for you

Grief is such a weird thing. I was sort of ok for days then yesterday i had to go to a memorial service for a human. For me it was all about Biscuit. It fouled up my workday and i only worked 3 hours. Then we went for Foxy’s Solensia shot and she found a cyst in Foxy’s ear. We got salve but I tanked. We went to get a collar for the rfid chip on the automatic feeder and stopped at the market whereupon I looked at the checkout line and bolted…leaving hubby to deal with the self-checkout to catch up to me. Today I couldn't care less about what I’m doing…..

 

[Catzzzmeow]

Grief comes in waves and even the smallest thing can trigger memories but good and sad, but going to a human memorial is always intense so I am sure it made for a very tough time. Hoping you have a streak of better days ahead.

 

[Yoda mom]

@tuffysmommy ,hugs .. grief certainly ebbs and flows and a human memorial service too. phew...
healing vibes for Foxy's ear. certainly alot going on on your heart and mind... here for you.
hugs n head smooches to Toni and Foxy. you are an incredible mum. let us know how the collars /feeders work... are they "breakaway " collars?

 

[tuffysmommy]

Thank you everyone for your We are learning to be a smaller family. I think last night they realized it was the weekend again and expected Biscuit back. Toni has been talking about it. Foxy has been sharing my lap with Toni. And we have been brushing Foxy more because she has been grooming herself incessantly. She and Biscuit groomed each other for hours at a time. Foxy has been great about her pink breakaway collar and this morning we put the chip on it and trained both of them on their bowls. This afternoon they ate together but separately.

 

[tuffysmommy]

Why!!!! Foxy’s picture is too large but you can see her bowl at the top of Toni’s picture. How it works out is she scratches the collar and not her ear.. which seems to be healing. Thank you Kauna for your good counsel on bowl-ing….and thank you to the lovely woman I got the bowls from.

 

[tuffysmommy]

Foxy’s ear follow-up. Had to push up her internal medicine appointment to next Monday Ap 6. The cyst in her ear is the size of a grape when you turn the ear inside out. I’m devastated. She did gain almost a pound due to her beloved automatic feeder. What power…she steps up to it and it opens for her to eat. They gauge kidney patients in some part by ability to gain weight and she can.

 

[Catzzzmeow]

You again are giving the best care as always. Thrilled to hear she has gained some weight. Please keep us updated about your visit next week.

@tuffysmommy ,Great gaining weight! Good job mum!Is the ear cyst a hematoma? My rottie had and vet did not drain, it reabsorbed on own. Same with moms cat, his ear a littke crinkled now after reabsorbed. My pups ear did not crinkke.. if a hematoma, ask if drained chance of coming back. Sending hugs n head smooches. Keep us updates

 

[tuffysmommy]

It has been a long week. Foxy scratched the cyst and we have been dealing with a lot of blood. Vet said to just get her to internist to see about surgical help quickly. We have the appointment Monday night. We got 3 kinds of cones but she can pull them out of the way even though with it on she can drink and even eat from her feeder. She’s very coy about wanting to rub the ear on even me. Good I absolutely can’t drink or I’d be ready for rehab by now. I keep going online to buy one of those sweet flower ones but I don’t think they will do better. Foxy is very smart so when she starts to wash that part of her face and everyone hops up in the air, she realizes she needs to not do that. Feels like another overnight at the hospital is coming. We are only safe when she is in her hammock that I can relax. I am truly a wreck.

 

[Yoda mom]

@tuffysmommy , hugs, oh my heart, sending hugs n positive vibe hea smooches. best wishes for Foxy's monday night appointment. hohppe the flower cone works. sheh is a smarty pants keepin mum on her toes. please remember self care.

 

[Catzzzmeow]

Will be looking for your updates…and of course positive vibes are still going your way. If she does have surgery no doubt will still need a cone etc. You might look at the blow up type as well. I hope you can find something that will defy her escape artist trickery.

 

[tuffysmommy]

Thanks. Shes already gotten gabapentin sl hopefully things will be calm before we leave. She can eat and drink with the cone she has now. I feel soooo bad but the blood on her white paw makes me know im right.
