Omg.

Im in serious shock and in tears. My cat buddy, was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism. For those who don't know, it is caused by a benign tumor in the thyroid gland that causes the thyroid gland to secrete excess thyroid hormone. If left untreated can cause Kidney and heart Failure.<br><br>My family can't afford for his medical bills, so we have to put him down. I'm so heart broken. He was the sweetest cat I've ever known.<br><br>You guys don't have to read the next part, but it'll make me feel better typing it out.<br>We found Buddy on the street 4 years ago. We had a tough time figuring out his name, first it was bright eyes, then pumpkin, garfield, and finally buddy because of his personality. He is such a sweeted hearted cat, he loves affection and to be near people. He also loves food. He was always there to listen to wait i have to say when I didn't want to tell anyone else. But this past year he has been getting sick, he has had several abseces that we have treated, then he got a flew like thing and we treated him for that to. in the past three months though he has lost 2 pounds, that might not seem like much but for a cat its huge, ecspecially beacuse he eats his food plus the leftovers of Kaites, my other cats, food. He is constitly vomiting and having dieara, possibly casued by the flew medicine. He doesn't move much now and is constantly sleeping in the garage. I really love him and this is heatbreaking to me.<br><br>I thought I might tell you all cause I need some support cause I'm about to reach my breaking point.

  • Oh no :( <br><br>It sounds like you probably saved Buddy's life when you found him and have given him a happy, loving home since. It's never easy to lose a pet, but at least you know you've made his life a good one. <br><br>I'm sorry Bree <3

  • thanks to you all.<br><br>one question, should I be there when he is put down, or would it be easier for me not to be there. I really don't know what to do.

  • I was there when my rabbit was put down. It was really awful, but I know I would have regretted it if I hadn't been there. You will probably feel better in the long run if you go and are there for him <3

  • I'm really sorry :cry: <br><br>But it sounds like you guys saved Buddy, and he seems really strong. I think if he knew he could some how go on he would try his best for you. I am really sorry you had to do this.

  • thanks you all. I think I'm going to go with him to the vets.
