Well, shit.

Her blood tests are back and Cleo has terminal anemia. Not something you think of being that dangerous, but her red blood cell count is so low, her heart could stop at any time for lack of oxygen. I will be making an appointment to have hr put to sleep. She's so weak, and I hate the thought of her suffering, more than I hate the thought of losing her. And I hate losing her a LOT.

I'm so sorry. < hard hugs > It's the terrible part of pet ownership, that making the responsible decision means making the decision that hurts so much. You know my thoughts and sympathy are with you both. < more hugs >

Thank you. I'm going to try and get an appt. this morning, because I'm SO afraid that if I have to wait, I'll talk myself out of it. And I once promised myself I would NEVER keep a pet alive only for my own comfort. She's not in any pain at the moment, and I don't want her to be. But if her heart starts to fail, she will be.
