Hi all,
Just a update and a very sad one as Max was put to sleep tonight roughly half an hour ago at the emergency vets. He was lying on the laminate floor stretched out and my son noticed him panting. I rang a vets number that my friend had recommended to me and got the emergency number and my son and I took Max straight down.
We had to wait about half an hour and Max was still panting but calm. The vet was lovely, Max had very small kidneys but a lump in his tummy which was a tumour. He was probably just beginning to feel some pain and obviously the only thing we could do was let Max die with dignity. We stayed with Max, my son, 24, cried so much - we stroked him to the end, he did meow in pain at one point but I suppose thats to be expected when administering an anaesthetic. He then just went quietly to sleep.
We have him at home, in his cat carrier in the lounge, as my son would nt hear of Max going anywhere else and we dont go in the lounge much preferring the conservatory. Tomorrow he will be buried in my boys corner with Harvey and Smudge, my girls tend to be buried the other side of my garden, tho thats by accident not design.
It s a strange twist of fate that Max passed over on the day that he was born, April 30th.
God bless you my Max,we are going to miss you loads XX
