Oh sweetie I hate you went through this!! My twosocks had this happened! Because it was memorial day when he got sick and I couldn’t get my money from the bank the vet wouldn’t help me do anything except euthanasia!! I had $5,000.00 in the bank and I showed them and still they refused to help my 8 yr old main coon. This vet office is closed now but I got no justice or reimbursement for the 490 they charged me to send him to the rainbow bridge. I am still mad as hell too sweetie. Sending hugs love and prayers to you 💜💚-
I know that vets are all about the money. Know that they have expenses but when a person can prove they can pay the bill then they should treat the animal. I am so sorry you had to go through that. I am trying to stoo the anger and concentrate on the good life and love Sheba had. I love her so much and she loved me. I know I will see her again oneday.

These are my 3 fur children who passed away at separate times but we all lived together and had tons of love. The calico in the middle was my first fur baby I bottle fed and did everything for her. I am still lost 7 yrs later. I have more fur children but I never forget the ones that came first. And I still shed tears and have my moments. I know they are all watching over me and if I need it they come and visit. I can sense there spirits. I also mis my rats I lost too. ANY fur child big or small will always be loved and remember. Ugh super sad today. My Rainy Grace is doing her thing by trying to make me feel better. I love cats!! Grew up dog but bed ridden with my pregnancy switched to cats and wow what I have been missing!! Love ALL animals and miss all who have passed. Even my hamsters💜💚 -

so sorry for your loses.. prayers, we just have to take things one day at a time. molly has been gone for 42 weeks now, miss her more than ever…

It is so hard, Steve, and I too am so very sad and sorry for your parting from Molly. In our heads we know one thing, but our hearts scream out another. Six months is not very long to grieve. In fact, there is no timeline for that. I think being kind to ourselves, not second-guessing or laying on a guilt trip is helpful. Molly knew you loved her, and of course you miss her deeply. In our shop you can find “Griffin’s Heart” – a journal/book you might find helpful. https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/griffins-heart-pet-loss-book/
Most of all, know we are here for, and with you, with sympathy and understanding. {{HUG}} Toni

She was an apricot rescued toy poodle. It’s coming up on a year that I lost her. I still struggle and on a day like today, I wish she was still here and we would go back to traveling in the 18 wheeler.-
Tabetha, anniversaries and holidays, especially the first year, can be brutal with the memories they stir. I hope you will allow yourself to acknowledge and express your grief at this time more than ever. I am sure even little things trigger big emotions and there’s nothing for it but to feel it. I suspect Ladybug would, and does, send you her gratitude for a life of love you shared, and wants you to have smiles before tears when you think of her, and the 18 wheeling fun….We’re here for you not only at this time, but always, and I hope you will touch base often, even if, maybe especially if, you are hurting. I’ll be thinking of you, and hope this {HUG} helps you a little bit. Toni

You have every reason to be angry and still in tremendous pain, Cathy. I can’t speak to what happened at the vet, but the shock and loss would bring any of us to our knees. Would you like to speak with a trained, professional grief counselor? Glenn Swain (Rev. but non-denominational) has made his services available to our community at a discount. You can click here to schedule with him if you like: https://www.faithfulfriends.com/grief-counseling/
It seems to me you are dealing with two distinct, powerful challenges: Sadness and despair at Sheba’s passing and all the strong emotions any death of a beloved pet carries; and flat out anger at the result of the barium. Perhaps you could discuss the procedure she had with some other veterinarians – they may be able to explain how and why that happened. Please, let us know what you do, and what you find out, and how you are moving through this. I am so very sorry. Toni -
Cathy posted an update 5 years ago
My heart breaks for everyone that has lost furbabies.
I am having a really hard time still over Sheba’s death. I just don’t think it is fair that the vet killed her and what I feel is total torture by continuing to xray her after she aspirated the barium. I am just angry and don’t know what to do. Just in a very depressed place right now.
It has been almost 4 months and I still miss her so much.-

The thing is I told the vet she was gagging when she tried to eat. He tortured her by forcing that tube down her. Had a bite block in her mouth so when she tried to puck it could not get out so she aspirated it if he did not have the tube in the wrong place the tracea instead of the stomach. Thene he continued to do an xray every half hour or so and she had to be held down on hwr back for which she hated. He was shaking so bad that he could not get the med to stop her heart into a vein. We just had to wait for her to stop breathing and he refused to do an autopsybecause “it would make a difference”. He is wrong it probably would have made a difference for me to know what was wrong with her that she could not eat. I think it is a shame that he cannot admit fault. He should have listened to me and maybe could have medicated her before the tube was placed and barium given.

Oh Kathy, I am so sorry and understand. It really isn’t that long since July, and I think holidays bring up memories and strong emotions. It sounds as if you took wonderful care of, and showered lots of love on Prince. He looks so happy in the photo. Do you know if he was a Russian Blue? I had a cat that looked like Prince who was a Russian Blue. Kathy, if you like, in our Shop we have a book/journal – “Griffin’s Heart” – written by a lovely gal who had a tough time working through her grief when her beloved cat, Griffin, passed. I think it may help you. https://www.faithfulfriends.com/shop/griffins-heart-pet-loss-book/
It’s good that you know we are here for you to talk with, to share your pain, and I hope your smiles come before tears soon. Please keep us posted on how you are doing, and feel welcome to share more photos with us. Sending you {HUGS}. Toni -

Dianne, how are things going for you all? I didn’t know you had Princess and Oscar, too. It’s nice to see all three of their pictures. Thank you for sharing those with us. -
Toni Noel posted a new activity comment 5 years ago
No one will question your decisions, Dianne. We all make what we hope are the best choices. I wonder if you could give her to a rescue or shelter where they may be able to get her in shape, and adopted? Was Waggle.org able to help you? They may be able to pay the vet for her. https://www.waggle.org/ -

I’m doing everything I can for my girl, with medicines and foods and treatments, but nothing is going to stop time – for any of us – and that’s a harsh reality. We have to love and linger in the times we have together. I, we here in our community, share the sadness and pain of the parting process, and I am so grateful for everyone who shares their stories and understanding with us. And….I am so grateful she is still with me, and seems to be doing okay for now :-)… Please, let us know how you and yours are doing. We are here for you.

How nice of you to take Skippy in to your home and heart, Nancy. It’s “good/bad” to have been together do long – we share so much over the years, and saying goodbye is bitter-sweet when they are at an advanced age. We know in our heads that we shared a wonderful long life of love and it was good for them, but we miss their presence, company and love so much. If you would like to share more about your lives together, and some pictures, we would really love to share those with you. By the way, were Skippy and your cat close friends? How is your cat doing? -

****sigh****
I just do not know what to do for my mama cat.She is so thin,that I honestly hope people don\’t think I am not feeding her,because she does eat twice a day.Her previous vet said she has IBS.Her stools are becoming formed but she isn\’t gaining weight.I now give her yogurt because it has probiotics in it.See the photos? My Chihuahua Princess is 11.The tuxedo cat on the right is 19 year old Oscar.And the bottom is mama.She is 14.The three eat twice daily.I live on a monthly fixed income and do not drive.I do not have anyone who can financially help pay for a vet visit,plus and lab work.
I too have IBS,so I know what mama cat is going through.I eat like she does,but then I have a sudden IBS flare up like she\’s had.I went from 124.6 pounds,down to117 pounds.
My heart is breaking because I know what I have to do…
Please don\’t judge me.-

Skippy was not quite a year old when I got him. He was a stray and such a cute little guy. We were best friends slept with me and my Bengal cat for all those years. He was a Jack Russell.-

Oh Nancy, I am sorry to hear about your Skippy. When did you meet him? Were you together for all those years? What kind of pet was Skippy? May we see some pictures?-
