Armer Kougra, ich hoffe er tobt jetzt wie ein Wilder da oben herum.

Ich hab John auf FB kopiert.
Animals don't fear death. Kougra laid on my lap and started to gently purr. He looked into my eyes (1st pic) and started to doze off (2nd pic). The vet came in at that point and I let him go, he purred until he was no longer there.
Kougra, you touched so many lives, human and feline. But it was my life that you helped the most. I'd do it all over again with you. I miss your gentle soul.

The Big Kitten Flattening Paw... möge er drüben noch ganz viele kitten erziehen!
Ach das wäre nett, cobrita.
Ich bin nicht bei FB, kann also auch nicht auf seine Seite. Anderen geht es vielleicht ebenso.
Ich hoffe, John zeigt mich nicht irgendwann an, weil ich seine ganzen FB-stories kopiere, ist ja eigentlich seine private Seite. Aber ich denke, er hat dann doch nichts dagegen, weil es um die Katzen geht.
Hab jetzt alles kopiert ausser dem posting, das ich hier von reingestellt habe.

When I got up this morning, Kougra was laying on the floor at the foot of my bed and didn't want to get up. This was worse than he was last night. I decided to give him some sub-q fluid as his scruff showed he was dehydrated and I hope it would pep him up so that when I got home from the adoption event in a few hours, he'll be pepper and wanting to be syringe fed. When I got back home, he was a little more responsive but not nearly as much as I had hoped. I called my vet to see if he could be seen and they said to bring him in but called back a few minutes later saying that he'll likely need a feeding tube and that goes beyond their level of care and to go to the VCA (emergency vet).
Kougra will be staying two or three days at the VCA. I totally trust these guys and they're awesome. One of the vet techs even stopped to asked me how Spock (of the Roswell Fosters) was doing (Spock spent half a week there due to a bad sinus & eye infection).
They want to do an ultrasound which will take place tomorrow and he will be getting a feeding tube like he did four years ago - a tube is inserted through the side of his neck into his esophagus bypassing his throat. Soft food will be slowly administered via a large oral syringe and then flushed with water. Plus sedation, IV, blood pressure checks, CBC w/o differential, comprehensive diagnostics, consults, IHLAB (Nova critical care), & injections are listed on the estimate.
I'm hopeful he'll pull through this again. Four years ago today marked the day he was officially cleared of all issues dealing with his lymphoma & liver failure. He was doing so poorly back then that the vet couldn't believe he was still alive. He's proven to be incredibly resilient and has repeatedly amazed the vets. I hope he still has more in him because there will always be more kittens who needs his special touch. (whap really, kitten flattening paw. Think nuns with rulers at a Catholic school.)
Small cell lymphoma is treatable and can go into remission which is what we're hoping for in Kougra's case. Many cats diagnosed with it live out full lives and eventually pass from something unrelated.
The estimate range is $2,368.90 - $2,895.65 but this doesn't include a scope which may be ruled out by the ultrasound. That could almost double the low estimate.
This isn't a plea for help but people have been wanting to donate towards his care and I decided to accept. If you wish to donate, and by all means only do so if you're financially sound, my PayPal address is [email protected]. If more funds are raised than needed for his care, it will be donated to Purrfect Pals "Tipper Fund" - a special fund used for medical care for shelter cats that goes above and beyond the norm. And thank you!

Kougra Update - also posted on my wall:
Just got a call from the emergency vet. He is dehydrated and has multiple organs failing. The procedure to help those organs is to give fluids but his body isn't processing the fluids right so his body has an abundance of fluid - so giving fluids is making things worse so it had to be stopped. x-rays/diagnostics revealed no excess fluids prior to the IV and excess after so whatever is causing that likely happened recently. His body may be shutting down.
I'll be heading to the emergency vet in an hour to talk with the vet. If he hasn't had any improvement at all by that time, I will be saying goodbye to my little man.
My phone has been chiming a lot - for those who have donated towards his care & comments in support of him, thank you so much. I haven't looked at it yet due to lack of time. You've made this difficult time a little bit easier with your outpouring of love & support.

Kougra's heart, liver, and kidneys are failing. Treating the heart will hurt his liver & kidneys. Treating his liver & kidneys will hurt his heart.

Danke cobrita
Wenn dir unwohl dabei ist, dann kannst du es ja wieder löschen.
Aber ich glaube auch nicht, dass John dir da Schwierigkeiten machen würde.

Danke Hel, ich hab's mal bei mir gespeichert, wenn ich wieder genug Volumen habe.
Die Kleinen sind also nicht adoptiert worden ausser Sequins? Das ist aber auch eine grosse Verantwortung, die nicht jeder übernehmen kann, wenn auch mit Hilfe von PP. Ich könnte das auch nicht, ich hätte Angst, irgendwas falsch zu machen und wenn sie dann auf einmal krank sind...
Oh jeee.. John hat es nicht leicht im Moment. Innerhalb von nicht mal einer Woche, erst Koug und nun auch dessen Schwester Sabby.
.My Sabby passed away today.
Both Uncle Kougra & Aunt Sabby played rolls in helping the foster kittens. One way to honor their memory is to make a donation to a rescue local to you in their name or if there aren't any near, to one of the many rescues with a Kitten Cam. But please, do not make a donation if you are not financially sound
Klein, frech, dreist, gemein, hab grundsätzlich Recht und immer das letzte Wort.
