I posted a new thread today but it seems to have gotten lost in the internet ether.
I wanted to let everyone know that Jessie passed away on 3/9/2022 from an enlarged heart, collapsing trachea and enlarged liver from diffuse tumors. It was the inability to breathe that eventually got her. I sure wish I knew what happened to that post because this is so heart wrenching to have to retype it all, but anyway, I ended up taking her off of kibble completely and that really cleared up her IBD. She was on My Perfect Pet mixed with oatmeal and yogurt. I also took her off flea meds after moving to an apartment with artificial grass. Unfortunately, this all may have been done too late for her. She was 15 years and 5 months when I had to call Lap of Love. She took her last breath in my arms. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. It wasn't until she started developing these serious health problems that she finally calmed down and allowed me to hold her. I will tell you what though, I really loved being able to comfort her and take care of her like a baby in her final years. I had so much fun with her and appreciated her companionship more than words can ever describe. On days I wasn't feeling so well, that little girl would be right next to me on the couch, the whole day, comforting me. |
