We have a 19 year old cat with renal failure (chronic kidney disease).

29. The last time I had to send a cat to the Rainbow Bridge it was licer issues.

The vet sais he had never seen such a high bilirubin result. And then he started on alll thie things that you know and I know - that I had given him a good life, that I wouldn't want him to suffer, all of that -you know it as well as I do. Through ter, I said, "But ut hurts." He then replied so bluntly that I won't repeat it here. It would sound callous to most people (It sounded callous to his wife, who was a close friend, when I told her). But it was esactly what I needed o hear ti stiffen my spine though it didn't stop the tears.) Anyone who responds well to bluntness (or anyone actually, but I warn you again, he was blunt) can replay and I"ll rsend a DU email, or send me one and I'll reply. Anyone who does not respond well to bluntness, I recommend, don't ask.
