UGH, so we have to take Charlotte and Benji in to see the vet today. I absolutely hate taking them in as they are older and have HCM. They both rebound well, but its a stressful event for them. I gave them some gabapentin this morning at 930, and will give them another squirt of it at 1pm just so they are good and relaxed prior to going.
They both had some issues a few weeks back and we need to do a quick check up, simple blood work and we need to have Benji ex-rayed to see if he has any fluid in his lungs. I don't think he has any as I have been giving him his Lasix daily and his breathing has gone back to normal. He is acting totally fine and playing and back to normal so i just hate to cause him any stress. They are getting up in age so It worries me to add stress to there hearts when they already have HCM.
We know they are in the final stages of life so we want to make it the best we can for them. Just really hard for us, they are the 1st pets i have ever really bonded with. I did not even know i was a cat person until I got them. Hard to believe that it was almost 17 years ago now. I can honestly say they have changed my life for the better.
Just cant wait for their appointment to be over and have them home relaxing with me. Ill probably be up till 2-3am this evening just monitoring them making sure they rebound properly, and listening to music. In for a long day.
