I had my little Furball put down today. He and I had an awful night with Kermit desperately thirsty, losing his ability to drink without vomiting, losing his ability to walk, stand or urinate. And he hadn't eaten significantly for about ten days. This morning he was almost unresponsive except for expressions of pain when I moved him, but I think he reacted to my wife's voice when she talked to him from the vet's office.

All very sad. The emotions finally came when they put him on a gurney and carried him inside. I went with him, of course.

The speed of his deterioration was shocking. He was still walking and occasionally wagging his tail on Monday. ​On Tuesday, we had a Zoom call out on the deck with my wife and Kermit was fascinated by a nearby bird. And Wednesday morning, he's gone. ​ I was surprised he lived through the night, to be honest. The amount of reddish-black bilirubin he expelled was horrific.

The vet thinks may have had cancer, perhaps liver cancer, expediting the attack - but Monday's vet didn't think an X-ray or Ultrasound was going to show anything since Kermit is... was... supposedly only 5 years old. That's young to be developing cancerous masses.

Ah well. I was up most of the night and am both tired and depressed.
