I lay here awake in bed next to my youngest (with ASD), cat obsessed, 5 years old DD watching her happily sleep. Tonight her beloved rescue cat who has been here 2 weeks was struggling to breathe and hadn't eaten today. So I insisted that DP take him to the emergency vet ( which he did but grudgingly because he thought he was fine). Awoken to a call from the vet at 2am to explain that cat is bleeding in his thorax and inside his lungs was filling up with blood. He may not even make it through the night. . He has a month's free Petplan and now it turns out he won't even make it that far .
What the hell do I tell the kids? DD will have real trouble with the truth I think.
