Prissy
1/27/2021 Prissy is an 18 year old blind cat that arrived today
in pretty rough condition. He weighs 7.3 pounds. According to his
vet records he use to be a 16 pound cat. 2 years ago he weighed 13
pounds. The owner’s son stated he had been eating like crazy but
was losing weight. When I took him out of the carrier I found a
very thin friendly kitty whose nail were so long that 2 of them curled
into the pads of his feet. (I immediately trimmed his nails.) He was
at the vet first thing in the morning. (11/28/2021)
His blood work shows he is VERY hyperthyroid. He was also
hypertensive (that is probably why he became blind) and he also
had a mass that we are sure is cancer.
1/29/2021 This morning after breakfast he collapsed and was
unable to stand. We knew his stay would be short with us
but we had hoped he would have months, not days. The
decision was made to let him go. I held him in my arms and
sent him over the rainbow bridge.
