The final decission..

Femka has CIDD ( certival intertebral disc disease) that showed up 3 weeks ago out of no where.. This is a pain filled excruating disease, progressive, degenerative and aggressive. Pain management is not working, and now she is showing liver function problems from the medications.
Femka is normally a stoic little girl, and now in pain all the time. Considering the the pain management medications have already started to degenerate her other systems, the decission has been made.
I am afraid I am at a loss for words. To us- we have had her two and half years, and to us- this came out of no where..
We are taking her to the vet on monday. Considering to her life is miserable, unless they can come up with a medication that works for the pain in her discs, ( which is highly doubtful) we have made that awful decission.
It upsets me that it appears they knew the condition was there from her previous owners. Instead of dealing with us, placed her up for adoption, having us loose our hearts to my girl, and we are left with the aftermath.
AT this point we are hoping for the weekend we can keep her comfortable. Unlike hotties condition which would leave him parazlied, at least he would feel no pain. Femka is in pain all the time, and the medications ( rimadryl and roboxin) is shutting down other organs, leaving her with little in dignity..
I am not sure what else to say.. The decission is just that- the one we pray we never have to make..

It's the right one to make, if her quality of life is one that is poor then we owe it to them to let them go humanely.
Thinking of you.
