This is my beautiful sweet girl, Kaya
Last week Kaya became suddenly ill with pyometra and was rushed straight into surgery.
Although she made it through the operation ok, she didn’t start to recover afterwards as she should have done.
After having blood tests, I was told she had Stage 4 Kidney failure which had stopped her eating, drinking and peeing. In fact all she was doing was sleeping.
She was in the animal hospital on a drip for four days.
On day four her veins became so weak that the IV line broke and they couldn’t get another drip into her.
The vet asked me to take her home for the night to see if she would start to eat etc at home.
As soon as she saw me she came to life, licking my face and wanting cuddles.
I took her outside where she had a wee straight away.
On the hour long journey home she sat up looking through the car window the whole way.
She again peed when I got her out of the car and drank by herself.
I got her settled in the living room, but she would not eat anything I offered her.
She just wanted to sleep all the time when she was indoors.
I had to force her up to go out, but once out she seemed more like herself.
The next morning we took her back to the vets as she wasn’t interested in food at all.
She just wanted to sleep and she had a very bad upset tummy, but when she was going to the toilet, she didn’t even know she was doing it and was laid in it.
The vet ran more bloods which showed her kidneys were not just worse they were much worse and the vet told me there was no way she would ever eat again and her liver was packing in.
She told me the kindest thing to do would be to put her to sleep before she really started to suffer and I knew in my heart this was the right thing to do, but for a few minutes she was my sweet Kaya.
Licking my tears and wagging her tail, I was broken, holding her in my arms as she fell to sleep one last time and only eight weeks after saying goodbye to my Kiana with the same disease in the same room at the same time.
It was all so overwhelming – in that moment I though I was going to stop breathing.
A part of me left with Kaya and it’s still so surreal that she’s gone.
Yesterday I got Kaya’s vet bill and I’ve no idea at all how I am going to pay it.
I hate asking for help, it makes me feel worthless.
I’m happier being the helper, but everyone comes to a time in their lives when they need help and this is mine.
If you can spare anything at all, it will be very much appreciated.
If you are one of those people that have nothing nice to say feel the need to comment then please don’t.
Life is hard enough as it is right now.
Not only have I lost two of my beautiful dogs this year but I am next week finding out if I have secondary cancer – throat cancer.
This huge bill is just one more thing to worry about that I don’t need.
It just isn’t fair that I have the bill but not my Kaya.
My dogs are my life, my world, and right now my world is falling apart.
I’m genuinely grateful to anyone that can help and am more than happy to give you vets details so contributions can be paid straight to them.
Thank you in advance.
