Nellie is an old Cat. She is in her 18th year and will be (I think) 19 in May. She has been feeling rather poorly since mid-December 2016. Nellie HATES the vet. She turns into the hellion of her youth and she has bitten a few people while there.
I took her to a local
vet (the same one I have taken Kozmo, Jo Jo and Cinnamon to--I like him very much, as have the "kids").
She lived up to her reputation as
THE CAT FROM HELL. She had to be sedated to have blood taken, so the vet did a full workup. She is in good shape, weight wise and for most of her numbers, but her kidneys are failing and it only a matter of time....
She has been prescribed medication which I mix with her food twice a day. The vet told me it could be 6 days, six weeks or 6 months, but I should be prepared. I have gone through this ordeal with previous cats. The vet and I discussed a number of options, and for myself, I am more concerned about the quality of Nellie's life.
Taking her to the vet is too distressing for Nellie. If a next visit is required, it will only be done as a last resort.
I started the Gifts on January 2, 2017
It is my way of honoring Nellie and her remaining time
One Day A Time
After all, each day is a gift, that is why we call it the present.
