The Husband and I sadly had to put our precious kitty Luna down on Friday 4.28.2023. We tried everything we could do to get her better. The vet tried to do everything as well. It was a very hard decision to make, but I know she's not in pain or suffering anymore.
She was fighting Hepatic Lipidosis (fatty liver disease). What alerted me to something being wrong was that she was throwing up too much than the normal hairball. We had hoped she would recover. It was a rough 4 weeks. The 1st two weeks after she was in the vet for 4 days she ended up with a feeding tube and a couple of meds to give her. We had to feed her a special intensive care food with high calories 4 times a day through her tube. It was a powder you mixed with water and gave to her through the tube from a syringe. On top of an antibiotic and a liver support pill at first.
Sunday April 16th after she got a steroid and anti-nausea pill. Monday she ended up throwing up all the food and along with it the feeding tube. I had to have my Husband take her to the ER that morning while I took our Daughter to daycare. All they could do was remove it. We got her into her regular vet that day. Husband took her in and they decided it was best to leave the tube out and give her an appetite stimulant. Her blood results didn't come back good but not worse that week.
So she was actually eating on her own and acting more like herself. We thought she was on the mend. But this past week she just went downhill fast. She caught a respiratory infection we think. She was sneezing blood and her eyes got cloudy. Then later in the week her right leg/paw got swollen. She started getting bursted blood vessels in the white parts of her eyes and looked like bruising/splotches in her ears. She started to lose her appetite again. We tried force feeding her with the syringe too so she had some nutrition/calories in her.
She stopped acting like herself. No happy tails at all. She just left her tail slumped and just wanted to sleep, drink water and try to go to the bathroom a lot but not actually doing anything. Which makes me think it turned into kidney failure next. The vet never said that though but I think she was.
I dropped her off at the vet Friday morning April 28th just to see if there was anything left we could do. Her vet called me later in the day before lunch and said there is nothing else they could do. We had already thrown every medicine we could at her. She was just withdrawn and her jaundice was worse. Right then and there I knew she wasn't going to make it.
I had to make the dreaded call to A Gentle Farewell (an in-home euthanasia service/vet in Elyria, OH) to come out and let Luna cross the rainbow bridge at home. 🌈😿💔
It was a very hard day. We gave her all the pets and love she would allow before they showed up in the afternoon. We could tell she was just done. She felt so warm and all she wanted to do was rest.
We loved her so much and will really miss her. My heartaches so much. I already miss her meows, purrs, lap cuddles, leg rubs, head boops and Luna taco cuddles. (We called it the Luna taco because she would be stretched out laying basically in-between the bottom of our legs when sitting on our recliner couch). ❤️
She was the most affectionate kitty. She loved on everyone. She definitely wasn't a fan of kids. She's running free playing with her favorite mouse toy now. 😿❤️

Though brief, it sounds like she had a loving home and a happy life.
