Delphi is home.

The vet has given her antibiotic and anabolic injections to try and get her feeling better and eating.

She told me Delphi's breath smells uraemic  so there may be some kidney problems that have started up now.

She has a bad discharge from one of her eyes and a very runny nose which isn't helping with her appetite.

So basically I need to see how she goes over the next 2 days and if she isn't any better by Saturday, I will be taking her back to let her go  :'(.

If I'm honest with myself I feel the time is coming. Its really hard as she started purring at the vets and then the headbutts came. She looked so flat this morning.

I am sure you will do what is right for Delphi, on the advice of your vet. Purrs is always here for you, it has been a godsend to me.  :hug:

Delphi has stopped eating and is losing weight. - Think she is dying :(

Following the operation to remove a mammary tumour a few weeks ago, Delphi was doing ok until 2 days ago.

She has stopped eating and is losing weight. I am syringe feeding her but she really hates it.

So we are off to the vets at 3:30pm today. I have to be honest and say that I don't know if I will be bringing her home  :'(.

I have this feeling I might have to send her to the bridge. I don't know. My emotions are all over the place and because I did get her to purr earlier and enjoy a fuss even though she seems so weak I don't know what is right to do. Maybe I should try an appetite stimulant first or another anabolic injection. I don't know.

Whatever I hope I have the courage to do whats right for Delphi. I have to work tonight and I just cant bear things right now. If I decide to let her go I'm going to be all over the place.

Please keep this lovely lady in you're thoughts and prayers.

Philip x
