We had two cats before her but she was MY cat. My name was on her papers, I handled her vet bills... she was my girl. So when she got sick out of the blue and was vomiting everything she ate, I thought I could handle it. I thought changing her diet and medication would help her get through it. I should've approved exploratory surgery. Maybe they would've found the diseased intestines before it killed her... I don't know. The whole experience was traumatic. I tried to keep her alive when everyone was telling me it was time to let her go. I couldn't justify putting her down without at least TRYING something.
I look at Dr. House and I hope he goes out peacefully. I really hope I don't have to struggle with another medical decision. But, Cuddles is the reason why I'm so careful with pet food now. I regularly change Dr. House's food because I don't want his body doing something i can't control. I don't even know if it was food that killed her, but she had been on the same diet for years and the whole experience got me looking at the pet food industry different after the things i learned.
and as if on cue, Dr. House as come to my desk to be near me. Augh. ok, I just needed to talk it out.
