I wonder if she's in pain? That is kinda how Gavin acted after he had some teeth pulled and was in so much pain, he couldn't even eat! The vet didn't even offer us any pain meds, until I asked for them the next morning. (After I figured it out!) I hate to say it, but Vets don't seem to know too much these days. I have had that problem myself and now go to a Homeopathic Vet. She seems really intelligent, very sympathic and caring towards my cats. Maybe when you can afford it, ask for a thyroid test. Try giving her the chicken or turkey baby food as others have suggested here. I wish I knew about that when Gavin wouldn't eat.
HUGS and prayers for you and your precious baby! I'm so sorry she isn't feeling well. Awwwww..... -
I want to Thank all of you again for your Prayers & Well Wishes. Winnie is still with me but,in such a weakened state that she probably will not make it. She has an appt. first thing tomorrow morning. I'm doing alot of crying off & on w/some guilty feelings & some anger thrown in. The anger is at the vet not being able to figure out what's wrong. The guilty feelings are from not being able to afford to take her in sooner. Symtoms started awhile back w/the throat clearing. I brushed it off as kibble stuck in her throat. The lumps came long after. Anyways,my teeth had to be taken care of first & w/no help from Mr.Useless here,the end results is,Winnie will probably have to be helped to the bridge. Any other possible procedure to find out her problem & what can be done is out of the question. I'm not able to stretch my budget anymore than I am now,missing many meals myself due to caring for the kits. I feel like I'm being punished for something because the one cat I latch onto that has been the dearest to my heart since I lost my Julie girl is now being taken from me. I will keep you posted as to what happens tomorrow.
Bumblebee...I know Winnie is clearly distressed but, I can't be sure if she is in pain. I hope not.
Thank You Littermates for your Love & concern for a precious little furgirl you've never even met. Your priceless!! -
Aw, continued hug for you and prayers of comfort for Winnie as she prepares to go to the Bridge. She knew special care & luv from you as her meowmy. It is truly on heaven's time when we need to cross over to the realm. Find comfort in knowing that your TDK family are surrounding you & your furry family with luv & care.

Susie, you know that I love you. And I hope that Winnie finds comfort in whatever form that takes. I think you are losing sight of the fact that all life is finite--we all gotta go sometime in other words. You are not being punished. Like it or not, God has a plan and even tho' it would be grand to know what that is, we don't. If you want to be angry--be angry--but direct it at Mr. Useless who won't help. If you want to feel guilty do so, but don't feel guilty about Winnie. Back the bus up and look at all the cats and kittens you have helped live to a ripe old age. You have done miraculous things with limited resources. Who would have ever believed that Hopper would turn into a grand old gentleman, living out his days as a sofa ornament? Many would have turned their backs, but you never have. I don't want you to think I am heartless--I feel so bad that you are losing another beloved friend--but I DO want you to keep it in perspective. If it is Winnie's time then so be it, but never sell yourself short. You have done all you can and if your last gift to her is a peaceful, painless, journey to the bridge then you have loved her very well.

Susie I agree with Shelley,you have done wondrous things with your animals. I have always been amazed with your resourcefulness in the ways you get what you need to to get your animals better. You have helped so many animals get better or reach a peaceful and painless end to a long life. Your cats are so fortunate.
I know it hurts each and every time though. It has helped me to think/know that the sweet animals are loaned to a select few who are fortunate to know and experience them but we must give them back at some point.
Please feel my hug{{{{{{Hugs}}}}. I love you and I hope this helps you.

{{{Feral & Winnie}}} My thoughts are with you, friend.

Feral what happened to your disability and food stamps? That should at least put food on the table. You can not forget to take care of yourself. You are the angel caregiver to you feral cats, but you must care for yourself! I get so scared hearing that you are in such a horrible relationship with nowhere to turn and that you are not caring for basic needs of yourself. I know that caring for your teeth has been very traumatic and painful, but you are on the road to recovery now. Please take care of yourself!
I know that your heart is breaking for Winnie--she is lucky you care for her! You will make the best decision you can for her. I am sorry the vet can't give you the answer you want, but I hope that when you see the vet a treatment plan can be established.

Thank You...your all so sweet to say what you've said. And I know you all mean every word. And Shelley....Thank you so much. I know your right. Inside me,I try to look at the positive. It just seems poor Winnie hasn't gotten much of a break herself. She came to me declawed. A horrivle thing for someone to do & then lose her. She's been in such distress these past few days & on top of that, she now has developed a cold from her immune system being depleted from whatever else is wrong. I've been having to hold her down & put warm compresses on her nose to literally 'unstick' one side. Poor little baby doesn't deserve that. And she's now down to 6 lbs. It's heartbreaking.
You are all in my heart for caring enuf to say such nice things for her & for me. And Shelley...I don't mind honesty one bit. It's good for the soul. For the one who gives it & the one who gets it. Thanks!! -
Feral, my heart goes out to you and Winnie. I pray that her next journey is short and painless and in the company of you who love her. Hold on to that: you have given her love and love is never wasted. It always comes back to us in one form or another. Prayers and hugs for you both. {{{{Feral & Winnie}}}}

Awwww Susie..... I send more hugs to you and your sweet baby! She is very fortunate to have your love and care. I wish I had lots of money so that I could help you. You are such an angel to these kitties, giving them SO much love and doctoring their boo boos. I know we are all glad to have you here on TDK with us. HUGS and more HUGS sweetie!
I pray that vet finds something to help! Will be waiting to hear. -
I don't know what I'd do w/out your support here. Outside of TDK, I know few people who would understand why I ended up in this situation. I never planned to have so many animals. But it wasn't my decision either to pick & choose who would be saved & who wouldn't. Some were luckier than others & found a forever home. The rest had to become a part of an already crowded household w/2 people that can't stand each other. It's amazing they haven't all become mental. Well, maybe some have.
Having your support means the world to me when few others can understand the pain & struggle we animal lovers go thru to try & give them a 'normal' life. I just never expected it to hurt as much as it does each & every time one gets sick & your limited on resources. You guys get me thru that. I know I've cried as much over your losses as I have my own. I'm Praying that tomorrow won't be Winnie's last day w/me. But I can't phathom a quick enuf fix that will keep her from further danger. I'll hold your Prayers & Good Wishes tight & hope they're enuf to save this baby girl because she is definately a keeper. She's been my little night time snuggle bug.
Soxsmom.....They took my food stamps away when they started my disability. I've had to make do w/out them for quite some time. I've considered asking for them but it would require a full board-hearing that I honestly don't think I have the strength or stamina to go after again. Aging sucks!!
Well Littermates,I will let you all know immediately after I return home from the vets tomorrow. I can only hope it's good news to relay to you all. You all deserve some good news from me for a change. Love You All!! -
{{{Winnie and Susie}}} Susie, Winnie will be so comfortable in the Meadow while she waits for you. She understands what you are going through and wishes it would be easier for you to say goodbye. Please be at peace, my little sister.

I understand what you mean, Susie, about how people here on TDK understand what it is like to truly and deeply love an animal. I feel that we treat animals not as pets, but as best friends and even furbabies, heh. :P I don't run into many people who feel the same way. I get so much comfort from you all! :)
I just wanted to say that you and Winnie remain in my thoughts. I hope Winnie can pull through. I hope the vet is more helpful tomorrow. Good luck to you both.

Feral, what time is your appointment tomorrow? I would like to come with you when you bring Winnie to the vet, if I may.
