My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Its been a very bad weekend - asking for prayers again please I don't know where to begin My cat Simon is 15 years old. He's been thru thick and thin with me and has been my best friend. Well, he's had urinary problems since he was a baby, has had numerous surgeries thru the years and I had deiced no more pain for him, no more surgeries, no more vets and needles and blood. So he's been living happily, delaing with his urninary problems up until a while bacj when he started peeing in the house. It got where he was peeing more in the house than in his box, so off to the vets we went. The meds helped for awhile but he went right back to bloody urine and potty mistakes. Well I decided I'd start letting him outside as he's always wanted to enjoy the outdoors but I would never let him. I figured his life could be over soon, being 15, and that I wanted him to be happy. Well a few weeks back something got him We are figuring a coon but we are unsure. He had a large lump on his back which eventually drained and I've been nursing him back to health, (to make a long story shorter) Which he was getting better, eating better ...until Friday night sometime I've been keeping him in the bathroom while we are not home and at night. He only goes outside during the day for 3 hours tops and only sits on the deck. Saturday morning I got up, did my normally doggy potty routine and seen Simons paws under the bathroom door as if saying "HI here I am, come let me out!" Only to my surprise it was much different. We think my baby had a stroke. He was paralyzed from the waste down and dragging himself. I'm just devestated and had a hard time posting because this has taken a toll on me. I chose to post as I know YT prayers work. We had made the decission to put him down Tuesday. But by Saturday evening he'd been eating the formula I've been giving him and purring when I pet him. I decided I can't do it. Not when I can care for him, and I will. I took him for times out side yesterday, I'd just sit and hold him. I'll do anything for him. By last night he was moving his tail!!!! Then I saw his leg slightly move. This morning we've been outside 3 times and he actually sat up to potty, where yesterday he didn't have control of his bladder. Then - he walked!!!! It wasn't anything close to a good walk and he fell over but his legs moved and he was able to go a couple steps. His legs aren't positioned right but he made them move. I just can't put him down. Even though he's 15, he's fighting and I'm going to help him. I had made a special area for him in the kitchen instead of the bathroom so he can see us, and put him on my washable pee pads. I'm just devistated and I'm sorry this is long and I can just imagine my spelling but I'm just balling as I try to type this. So I'm asking for prayers for Simon's life...for his fight. Please. |

| OMG what a story! Yes yes, prayers are being said for Simon and for his fight for longer life!! That is wonderful that he is showing signs of hope and I completely understand how you could not think of putting him down while he is showing life and improvement!! Thinking of Simon and strength to you and him both.... hugs, Trina

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Thank you so much everyone. I took a picture of him today, well just cuz I don't know his future, and I wanted to have more pics of him. I'd like to share my Simon's picture with you. I didn't take his legs, as he had wet himself and I want to spare his dignity, but this is my baby boy this morning. I love him sooo much!!!! |

Breny, Your Simon is beautiful! I can understand how much love and comfort his regal presence brings to your household. I am going to share with you what my vet told me while we were treating a terminally ill Yorkie many years ago. Simon will tell you when it's time..... listen to him and to your heart. You will just know, when you have doubts, its because it's not time. Please give your dear friend a hug from Chattiesmom I can feel your pain -- we have an elderly Boxer who has developed some severe heart problems.... we are sitting on a time bomb and it hurts more than words can tell. | |

| oh Brenda. I am so sorry you are going through this... i went through the same thing three years ago with my cat Mickey. I had had her forever, and my parents were out of town for the summer and she had gone downhill very fast... it was the saddest thing having to say goodbye to her but i knew she would be happier and more comfortable where she is now. I pray things either get better fast or (i know....) worse fast.... there is nothing harder than being in limbo not knowing what to do.... he is very lucky to have a mom that is loving him up so much and helping make the last part of his life the best (he must just LOVE his outside time! Mickey was an indoor cat but boy she longed to go outside!!!) My thoughts and prayers are with you and Simon! |
