Just looking for a handhold, we’re in the middle of a much needed 12 day holiday and our cattery have been in touch to advise that our old boy has taken a turn downhill. He’s 16 and on long term medication so we (and the cattery) know he’s on borrowed time but he’s been ok recently just living a quiet life.
They’re taking him to our vet this afternoon so I’ll know more later but I’m so frightened that they’ll say he’s too bad to keep going until we get back.
We could technically abort the holiday and fly home tomorrow but it’s not quite as simple as that as DH has to stay here for work for another 2 weeks, so it would be just me & toddler DS going home early and extending the time he and DH spend apart (which they both absolutely hate, thus us piggybacking part of his work trip in the first place).
Praying that they can keep him content and comfortable until Thursday. If he has to go after that then I’ve already come to terms with it as it’s been on the cards for a while. I just want his final moments to be with me (as lovely and kind as our cattery owners and vets are).
