She had had a dry cough for 2-3 weeks which our internist had treated with various antibiotics, she also had what we thought was a return of her inflammatory bowel disease about a week ago which resolved after giving her steroids.
Over this past weekend her cough got wetter and she was admitted to the animal hospital on 9/13 because it had gotten so bad. Despite iv antibiotics and fluids overnight her pneumonia got worse and she stopped breathing while my wife and I were visiting her. Based on the doctors advice at that time we elected to have her quickly euthanized.
A necropsy revealed what the Dr. called very diseased lungs, biposies are pending, hopefully they will give us an idea of what the cause was.
Katie was only with us for 3 years and 4 months, but she loved us for every single minute of that time and brough great joy to our lives.
RIP Ms. Katie
we love you |
RIP sweet Katie.
I could tell from your updates that Katie was very loved. Thank you for giving this little girl a chance to be part of your heart forever.
