Our little girl is very weak but still trying to hold on. The official diagnosis is server Kidney disease. I went into her Vet office yesterday prepared to help her over the bridge when her regular Vet came in and offered me a bit of a reprieve. It's not ideal and is a long shot given her weight, but she is drinking well and trying to eat more, so we will fight with her still.
Every morning for the next few days I will bring Maus into the Vet office and her Vet and the techs will watch her, give her IV fluids and food and check her levels. If she rallies and her levels come up enough for me to do maintain at home, then I can work on caring for her in the time we have left. Some KD cats live well at home this way. If she doesn't rally then we will have a day in the sunshine, me and her brothers and all take the opportunity to say good-bye. We will know for sure by Sunday.
I haven't stopped crying, but I'm thinking about her, Maus and all the laughter and joy I've gained since she has been here with me. Our time is our time and whether it's years of days I will cherish each moment.
