New gorgeous-beautiful-loving Cat, Tiny Dancer

Hello all,

I am SO happy to be here on this site! My precious boy, Tiny Dancer, was diagnosed last month with Diabetes. He is 10 years old (going to be 11 in September) and I adopted him from Animal Services where I volunteered for years. Tiny was born with Radial Hypoplasia (I have 2 special needs cats) and lives a normal life (just has to walk on his front forearms and use his strong back legs - no pain involved as I have researched much about this).

He is on 1 unit of Lantus twice a day and just started having breathing issues, so I am so very this site to have this forum to come to! Thank you for having us!!

Awe what a Beautiful color. Love me some orange kitties. You're wonderful for taking on these extra special kitties. Welcome to the group

 

Poor little man. He is fortunate to have you. Welcome!

 

Welcome! Congrats to you for looking after special needs kitties. There's lots of help/support here for you and your little guy.

 

Welcome Tiny Dancer and his Mum!
Come on over to Main Health so we can ask more questions and more eyes can see your handsome little boy!

 

Thank you all so very much. After 9 years with my beloved Tiny Dancer, I had to take him to emergency this morning because of breathing difficulties - he was panting - (I thought it was just the insulin and could be fixed). They took an x-ray and he has a large lymphoma and his lungs were pretty full of fluids and they said it would only get worse with every passing day. I didn't want him to suffer and they recommended putting my beautiful boy down. Because I don't want him to suffer even one day, I made the decision to put him down. I am totally heartbroken and totally lost right now.

I'm glad you got to meet my beloved boy - the very best man I have ever known in my life.

I will be leaving this site in awhile - I'm too upset to even focus right now, but wanted to let you guys know. He was a loving, sweet and very good boy for the 9 years he was in my life. I don't know how I'll go on without him. Wish I had found this site when he was first diagnosed a month ago.

Thank you for all of your support!

 

Oh what terrible news. I'm so sorry it was time to say goodbye. Cancer is just horrendous.

 

Very sorry you had to let him go. I've lost 3 fur family members to cancer. May fond memories of your beloved, Tiny Dancer, warm your heart always

 

I'm so sorry you've lost your beloved little boy. I wish you peace in the knowledge that you did the best for him each and every day. He didn't suffer.

 

I am very sorry your special boy had to go so soon.

 

Oh no! I'm so very very sorry..
