Mourning Saying goodbye today. She was misdiagnosed with hyperthyroidism. We learned on Saturday that after months of treatment for elevated T4, she has a tumour the size of a small apple in her abdomen. The vet recommended euthanasia.

We're all shocked. I can't stop crying. Doing in-home euthanasia in a few hours. I'll miss her so much. It hasn't sunk in yet that I'm losing her.

She's 14. We adopted her and her brother at age 10.

I'm her favourite person and she's with me all the time. If she doesn't know where I am, she calls out for me. If I'm not sitting so she can be on my lap, she's asking me to pick her up.

She's leaving a void-sized hole in my heart.

This same thing happened to my Bearcat 🖤🖤 but we were a day or two late for the euthanasia and he passed in the office before the Dr made it in with the shot. The tumor (or stomach mass) was making it hard for him to breathe and he panicked himself in the car, probably contributed to his demise.

I'm so sorry for your loss, she's beautiful and looks just like my boy 🤍
