    We just found Jasper very unresponsive and I tried putting honey on her gums but she was just like gasping for air. It's all my fault. I should have went looking for her sooner. We just got back from out of town b/c my son had to have surgery and Jasper stayed at our daycare where the dogs were b/c nobody else could watch her and when I brought her home she ran and hid and then I got so busy trying to get things unpacked and grocery shopping and I should have looked for her sooner...I called the on call vet in our area and my husband is taking her b/c I'm too much of a wreck..but I know it's too late.. and it's all my fault..who knows how long she was laying there...

    No I was so upset all I could do was pet her head gently. I should have tested her when I brought her home. I should have given her away..then she would still be ok and probably even better. I should have checked on her before. I should have known.

    The vet wants to put her on an iv and glucose overnight and see how she is in the morning. Her number was 20 when they tested her.

    Hang in there hon, cats can and do pull out of hypo, and you did exactly what you needed to do, you got her to the vet's where they can get her the help she needs to pull her numbers back up.

    Tons of prayers coming from all of us here that Jasper will make a speedy and complete recovery.

    Just try to breathe and know that Jasper is right where she needs to be right now.

    The only thing is nobody will be there to watch her if something goes wrong and they think shes suffered brain damage. but we will still hope that she can make it.

    She's having a seizure and they say the only way to save her is to take her to a 24 hour vet that is an hour away.

    She didn't make it. My husband is going to go pick her up and take her to his parents house and bury her next to our hamster. I'm going to get a nice little stone or something to put on her grave.

    I'm so sorry Jasper didn't make it. My heart goes out to you.

    But please know that you shouldn't feel guilty. First, because guilt doesn't help anything. And second, because you did what you had to do as well as you could. Understand that things happen that we can't control.

    Sara,
    I'm so sorry Jasper had to leave. Big loooong hugs as you live thru this. Remember, it's the bodies that break, the spirit doesn't. She's right there with you trying her best to comfort you....don't blame yourself and quietly listen. She'll let you know.

    Another big loooong hug,

    Sara, I'm so sorry for your loss. ((hugs)) Jasper knows she was a very loved girl.

    When Willie was first diagnosed, I was so focused on getting all of his health issues under control, that I didn't get my Miss Jezebelle into the vet for a checkup like I should have. It had been a long time, but money had been so tight that I was barely taking care of myself, and I know that I wasn't getting the furbabies the care they needed. I went out one morning to get sugar, and came home to Miss Belle unresponsive on the floor. Like sweet Jasper, she didn't make it. I know how you're feeling now, and I promise you, it will be okay. Miss Belle came to me in a dream that night to let me know that she was okay, and she's come to me in dreams since.... always her sweet, loving self... letting me know that she was okay, free of suffering, and always with Willie and I.

    Willie, Herbie and I will be lighting a candle for Jasper tonight, knowing Miss Belle will be meeting your dear girl at the bridge to welcome her.

    Fly free and land softly, beautiful girl. rb_icon

    Oh, ((((((((((Sara)))))))))) We all know how you are feeling, the what if. You did the best for Jasper and it was not to be, she had a loving home w/ you and it is unlikely that others would have been willing to give her the care she needed. Fly Free sweet Jasper.

    Thank you everyone. My husband has been so great through all this. He is the one who took her for me last night and drove the hour back again to get her body this morning. He took her to his parents house (they live in the country and have our hamster buried on their property) and buried her next to Hayden (our hamster). I ordered a river rock with her name, a heart, and paw prints on it to go on her grave. I had to come to work and I keep crying and I'm ready for this day to be over.

    Sara,
    I have been waiting to post...remembering how hard this was for you in the beginning. How you fought to keep Jasper. How you almost lost her and did'nt know what to do.
    You kept Jasper and I was so relieved, so happy. Jasper did'nt want to go anywhere else. She knew you were her family....she knew.
    She would NOT have been better off with another family. You belonged to her and she got to keep you.
    So.....I can tell you this, Jasper had to go.....but I am glad she went still being part of your family Sara.
    My Tom left me nearly a month ago now. I keep telling myself that I was his mom....and THAT was the important thing. I may not have gotten him all the vet care one could possibly get....but he had me.
    And Jasper had you.
    Hugs....Warm, Gentle Hugs Sara,
    Lori

    We are very sorry to learn of Jasper's passing. You did all that you could do under difficult circumstances and Jasper knew that. Now she is well again and being welcomed at the Bridge by all of our GAs. She will watch over you and wait in your heart until you meet again.
    Fly free, sweet Jasper. You are much loved.

    In deep sympathy,

    I'm so sorry to hear of Jasper's passing. Take comfort in that you did all that you could- there is no guilt to be had in that. Jasper was loved and that counts more than anything else.

    I am so sorry for your loss of your sweet Jasper. Guilt is the hardest thing to deal with for me when grieving. I lost my Sara 3 months ago and am still trying to deal with the what if's. It has gotten better and I know in my heart that it wasn't my fault. That I did the best I could. You will have doubts but know that Jasper was a very loved kitty and she knew it. She wouldn't have been better off anywhere else! Some things are just meant to be and we cannot change them. No matter what we say we should have done.

    Jasper is happy and playing with all the GA's at the bridge. She was a very lucky kitty to have you as her mom. Love is everything.

    Just remember honey it's not your fault.

    My heart goes out to you your DH and family. (((Sara, DH)))
