I had to have Cotton put to sleep today. Just 4 days ago she put toothmarks in my arm because I dared to brush her.
She was ok one day, ate all her food at night like she always does. And the next day, wouldn’t eat and had raspy breathing. I had to call numerous vets and found one that would work her in. It was an upper respiratory infection, we got antibiotics and went home. She still didn’t eat at all and seemed weaker, so I brought her back in. They were going to hydrate her and syringe feed her. Several hours later the vet called and said she wasn’t reviving with the fluids and her gums were blue, she wasn’t getting enough oxygen. And any time they did anything to her, she struggled for air.
So she’ll be buried next to Roy. I couldn’t figure out what to put in her box with her since she never laid on blankets. She liked hard surfaces, even night stands vs being on the bed. Hubby said he could put a piece of tile in there. I put some of her training items from when she taught me to give her treats. I put her little pencil that she would fetch with, the bell she would ring, a pool ball that she would push around on the pool table.
So sorry for the loss of your beautiful Cotton.You are such a good mom to your fur babies. Comforting thoughts being sent your way.
What a wonderful mama you have been....your post, letting us know, is such a heartwarming honor and tribute to her.
Sending you ((hugs)) and thanks....for all of the great pics you have shared of her (and, handsome Roy), over the years.
Thank you for sharing your babies, with us. Never easy to let them go....no matter the time/reason.
I am so very sorry. My thoughts are with you now.
Oh CB,
How sad, what a sweetheart she was.
I am so so sorry to hear this.
Hugs girl.
Oh CB. I’m so sorry. Such a sad thing to read.
“Kitty” and I had an understanding that we were both independent but there were many times we snuggled together for a good movie or just chill out after a busy day.
Kitty was never demanding so made it easy to spoil her.
Kitty was a Tabby cat I had found on a cold icy stormy night huddled under a tarp when returning from work. All filled up with a respiratory infection which ended up taking a couple weeks before she was clear of. Vet wondered if she'd make it through but she pulled out of it. From then on she found a home with me after being a street cat for quite awhile the vet said. Best cat I ever had! She died four years later as she was an older cat....very sad day indeed.
I’m so sorry. Sweet girl is with her brother now.
So sorry to read about your sweet Cotton.
I am so sorry for your loss of your dear Cotton.
You took such good care of her when she couldn’t care for herself.
Sending a big ((HUG)) and my love, CB.
My condolences,CB.
It is hard to lose a pet.
So sorry to hear about cotton 😢
