Update On Anna Belle

Tweet

For those of you who are familiar with my avatar, you'll know that it's a photo of my beloved kitty. She's a very important member of our family, and we've had her since my daughter (now seventeen), was six. This past August, she became seriously ill with pancreatitus. She was in intensive care at a pet hospital for three days. We weren't sure if she was going to make it, at that time. When we brought her home, she was on meds, not eating normally, and refusing to drink. We had to give her water with a syringe. After a lot of TLC, she came around, and things returned to normal with her, which I'm so thankful for. However, she's not doing so well again these days. She is still eating and drinking, but has started vomiting quite often again. She's done so several times, over the past few days. As a matter of fact, she's just thrown up here, a few minutes ago. She's also been less active of late, too. Her treatment this past summer, was very expensive, and I had to borrow the money to pay for this. We wanted to give her one more chance, and to have as much time with her as possible. Costly treatment 'is not' an option this time though, and I'm so hoping that we won't lose her, before the end of this year. I'd appreciate your good thoughts, and prayers for Anna Belle. I truly believe this helped to pull her through last summer. What do you do when a special pet becomes very ill? How do you decide when it's time to 'let them go?'
