Watching your cat get sick is awful. The worry about his life, his health and his possible death is a lot to handle. And if you're financially walking a tight-rope that adds to the stress and pressure.
Ashes has blood in his urine and appears to have a bladder infection. He went to the vet and is on antibiotics. He should be fine, although at 13 years old this is part of being old.
But I am writing this because I had a cat die last year then seven months later another cat died, and now 6 months after that I have a very sick cat.
I expected Ashes to die before Zoe and Daniel, but it was not meant to be that way, but now Ashes is sick so what the hell is going on?!!!!
I am worried, enraged and sick. I am resentful, tired, and lost. I am doing the equation of how much money I am willing to or can spend on Ashes before I am faced with throwing in the towel. But first things first. If he bounces back, then no worries.....for now.
I am really traumatized by Daniels death still and having to suck urine through a syringe out of a litter box, force feed medication and stare at the litter box again to make sure Ashes is peeing is bringing back dreadful and painful memories.
Once again the litter box is in the bedroom next to the bed so I can see and hear every time Ashes goes to the bathroom. (With two cats its hard to tell who is doing what)
If I could just get a bit of a break from having to deal with cat medical issues I would be so grateful.
Please, just leave me alone for awhile.
