The Vigil
Ernie isn't eating. I made her a plate of freshly roasted chicken, shredded up into tiny pieces, just like she likes it. I put it right in front of her, and she didn't even give it a sniff. She ate a little bit yesterday, but so far, today, not a bite. She hasn't made a peep, either. Normally she's pretty vocal, letting us know when she wants her rice bag heated up or when she wants to be picked up and petted. She's spent most of the day curled on her blankie, sleeping. She gets up to visit her box, then she gets a drink of water, and back to sleep. We are trying to keep an eye on her without bothering her. Sometimes it's hard to tell if she's still breathing. If this is her time to go, I hope she just goes, gently, in the middle of her nap. My daddy died that way, and so did both of his parents. I'm praying that we don't have to take her in to the vet again. She hates every single second of that, right from the minute we bring her crate out. She knows what that crate means and she gets agitated as soon as she sees it. I hope we don't have to do that to her again.

Oh how sad. When they stop eating, something is wrong. POOR Ernie. What a way to start the new year. She'll be in my prayers. Take care. I know you're sick with worry.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that she is not eating at all now. If she has to go, as she sleeps would be nicer for both of you.

ReplyDeleteSo sad we love our pets so much and to have to give one up hurts. Take care. Jean
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and Ernie. :( {{Hugs}}
ReplyDeleteI feel for you. We lost our dog Charlie in 2012. We'd had him for many years and the last few days were difficult.
ReplyDeleteTake care.

I know how hard this is. It sounds like Emie is tired of being poked and prodded and just wants to do things her way. If she is drinking a quite a bit more water and back to her box but not eating, it sounds like she has decided to do things her way. You have been doing everything in your power to make her better and comfortable. I hope she goes in her sleep. I have heard of 3 cats that did that. I know it is hard to watch. My prayers and hopes are that however it is, she leaves this world peacefully.
