I thought I'd better get it off my chest-the cat I take for my avatar passed away two weeks ago, due to respiratory failure resulted from aortic stenosis, bronchiolitis exudate, pericardial effusion and lung abscesses.
Mates who followed me in earlier time might notice that the cat was a stray I adopted. She was never in her best condition, for she had visited the hospital several times every single year in the past 4 years she’d been with me. I thought she was fully recovered after her stomatitis surgery last year cauz she had gained a few pounds, and I thought she would be fine from then on...until she suddenly collapsed in this summer.
Last year she had an ultrasound examination, which showed there was nothing wrong with her heart; only one year after serious health issues break out. The doctor said it's probably a genetic problem: a disease genetically attacks Persian-Exotic Shorthair cat.
The last few weeks have been difficult for me. I dosed her, feeding her with liquid diet, giving nebulization, getting her on oxygen every day, hoping for a miracle.
I witnessed her death of respiratory failure in the last few days, drowning in deepest regret for I’ve been so selfish for daring not to choose euthanasia earlier and letting her suffer so much.
She was the youngest in all my cats. It is really hard for me to accept the lost even now.
Finally I would like to thank my inseparable sidekick Keika@youzen1998 who said: hang in there, I'll call Astarion! Then she booked Neil's Cameo video for me. What a bestie! And thanks to Neil, for his kindness. though I just still dipping in this gloomy mood...
