Sad Day


* warning: sad post/slight picture overload

My sweet baby Louis died yesterday. He was only 8. He was suffering from acute renal failure due to a preexisting condition that is prominent in the Persian cat breed. If you have a Persian cat, or any other animal for that matter, make sure you do your research on genetic disorders that are prominent in that breed so you know what signs and symptoms to look for and when they may become a problem. And another side note, make sure you are double checking on the meds that the vets are giving you for your animals. The vet prescribed a medicine that is recommended for dogs only, not cats because it causes renal failure and death. Although this medicine didn't cause the renal failure, it definitely did not help. Do your own research!

  2. I am so so sorry to hear about your kitty :( we lost our Lucy last March, completely out of the blue...she was from the shelter, so we had no clue she had a genetic heart defect. She literally had a heart attack while cuddling with us. Remember the happy memories--that's what helped us get through! Hang in there! xoxo {av}
