I’m heartbroken.
My beautiful boy Barney passed away yesterday evening. We had been out for the day and when we got home he was sat in his litter box which seemed a bit odd however he was alert and awake. We took him out and it became apparent he couldn’t walk properly as his paws were skidding on the floor. We called the emergency vets and I held him in my arms. His breathing went weird, it was very short and shallow followed by a big gasp and then back to short and shallow again. Then I think he started to convulse. This happened a few times and then I realised he was gone.
He had only just turned one, we hadn’t even had him for a year. I’m absolutely devastated and can’t stop crying and I feel like an idiot for it. I just miss him so much. His death seemed so violent and I keep thinking he must’ve been frightened and in pain. I’m so sad.
