Claude's back home

His little body is resting in our laundry. I'll bury him tomorrow in the back yard.

Kerri knows the details, but basically, he was bleeding into his lungs. The vet was dubiously outlining continued intensive care, went to check on him, and found he'd left us.

Thank you for all the hugs and wishes and support. It's hard to lose a beloved pet, but if I ever lost the good will of my LJ friends, I really couldn't carry on. Your many kindnesses lift me up.

I'm glad you didn't have to make the decision about trying heroic measures. I had that decision to make with my Tiger, and it was hard to let her go, even though the vet and I both thought it was the kindest thing.
Their little bodies seem so much tinier when the spirit has left them, don't they?
*hug*

My thoughts are with you. At least the decision was taken from your hands.

I'm so sorry. It is hard. Had a bit of a scare with Trixy this week, so it was on my mind. Big hugs.
