They have a transfusion done, get bone marrow testing, and the specialist tells them that it's mainly scarring so there is promise.
She gets called today after another visit to find out that his RBC is dropping again and they are going in for another transfusion. If this doesn't take along with the steroids, they will have no choice but to let him go.
She asked me if we could babysit her other cat for the weekend if it comes to that so that they could spend as much time with him before the deed.
She was so upset and it just killed me. I hate it for the little guy as I have interacted with him and he's a cute little thing. Just got dealt a bad hand.
My daughter is my life and I have always been able to fix almost any issue she's ever had. This time I'm powerless....... and it sucks I can't do anything.
Just had to get it off my chest.  |
Sorry to hear man. Non-cat related but I'm dealing with a similar situation of sorts. The eldest off-spring is in a toxic relationship with this girl that he is head over heels in love with. She continues to toy with him and he continues to allow her to do it. It's now affecting him in ways that are changing his personality. There is nothing more hopeless than watching your child be upset all while knowing there is absolutely nothing you can do about it; other than be there for them when the shit hits the fan.
