Candy had to be put to sleep on Tuesday evening. Her kidney disease was discovered when she had a blood test before a routine dental back in August. At the time she was showing no signs of illness. She went on pills and paste, which she accepted when disguised with salmon spread. She went from being a lively, active cat to one that sleeps all day in such a short time I took her back to the vets twice to question her medication, but they said it was fine. Her hind legs grew very weak and wobbly. She struggled on, and I took her back to the vets last Friday. She was given an injection of steriods for her hind legs. It had no effect whatsoever.
On Tuesday evening her front legs folded up, and she all but fell into her litter tray.She had had enough. She was 16 years old, and the only one of my five cats that I have had from a kitten.
I hope she is running around somewhere with Biscuit; the only cat she ever really liked.
