FIGHT!

...So I had my mom call the vet today because I was too scared.

Apparently she (my cat, Duchess, diagnosed with unhealthy kidneys) is doing great on the IV, and much to everyone's joy, she took a wizz. This is apparently a good sign.

The vet is POSSIBLY taking back his original, and very dire, prognosis. Duchess MAY only be suffering from an infection, which can be treated with antibiotics. If she continues to improve, I will have my baby puss back on Monday.

It really scares me to think that yesterday...I almost made what could have been the worst decision of my life.

When she was 2 (and I was 15), the vet suggested euthanasia because she had ingested dog flea powder, and her kidneys were shutting down. My mom decided to keep trying, and she pulled through. That was victory #1.

Yesterday, from the diagnosis the vet gave, even mom gave up. We even started talking about where to dig in the yard.
But I didn't feel like we had tried hard enough to give up yet, so I didn't. I had them hospitalize her and do blood work, but from how the vet described it, I was only buying her a week or so, so I was absolutely miserable. I've never felt worse in my life.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, but it's good to STOP FREAKING CRYING for like, a few hours.

Duchess, my baby, you're the best. I miss you. I want you to come home. I can't sleep alone. Good luck, baby puss.
