I am very heartbroken to report that our kitty, Gwen, is no longer with us. Early last week, she got into something that caused her to get very sick. We are about 95% sure it was raisins Ella had dropped on the floor. On Thursday night, we noticed she was just not herself. She was pretty lethargic, not eating or drinking much, had lost some weight, and stumbling as if she couldn't walk. I took her to the animal hospital in Cedar Falls, where they reported her kidneys were not functioning well. After two days in the hospital with no improvement, the vet said there was little hope that she would recover, and if she did make some improvements she would live with kidney issues the rest of her life. We decided to have her put down that day.
I shared the news with Ella. She understands that Gwen was too sick to come home and was put to sleep so she could go to kitty heaven. Ella was pretty concerned about Gwen not having a blanket where she is sleeping, but I told her i was pretty sure there were blankets in Heaven so I think she was comforted by that.
RIP Gwenny!
