RIP Roxy

 

Oh dear...what a terrible start to Fathers Day!

 

We got a knock at the door and found the builder, working on the house next door, holding Roxy. As he put her on the ground we could see her back legs weren't working. He had found her under the house but didn't know what was wrong.

She was a brave wee  kitty and tried crawling around the house. She didn't seem to be in a lot of pain but something was definitely wrong! I rang the vet and arranged to meet her at the surgery in 10mins.

A quick examination found she had a previously unknown heart murmur which in turn had caused a blood clot to lodge at the base of her spine causing the paralysis to her back legs.

There was nothing that could be done for her so the heart-breaking decision was made to have her put to sleep. (I had warned the girls that this might be the case before I took her to the vet)

I stayed with our beautiful wee girl right to the end and she was so calm. I brought her home and she joins our other deceased pets in our (ever-growing!) pet cemetery.

 

Roxy, you were a wonderful "first" cat for our girls-very patient with them as they learnt how to treat animals and look after you. Thank you for all your cuddles and love-we will miss you!
