Thanks for checking back to let us know how she's doing. I'm sorry the news isn't better. I'm curious too, how is her behavior? Is she still doing things she loves to do? Can she still get around?

I would agree that the CBD could be helping her with pain issues and appetite. If she's eating anything, the CBD might have something to do with it. That's good you can get her to eat a little. I hope it keeps up.

What were your vets' recommendations as far as where to go from here?

It could be that the CBD has helped to some degrees  and may still be able to.  It's worth asking about changing  up the dosage amount,  or even switching up the customization  of it.

Do you feel like  the Galiprant has helped ar all?

Is she still taking a little bit of food several times a day?  I love that she would take a few bites... slap you with her paw and look to you for more variety..    

While things may not look good clinically,  how is she doing "outwardly"?  Does she still have some  Pixie "sass"?

Sending  extra hugs 

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!

  

Thank you Benny and Jerry.  

Her energy level further down, do not want to move unless necessary, like hungry for food or goes to litter box or drinks water.  So, she does not go to bother the one she used to pick on.  I suspect that she probably very is uncomfortable while being held up (have to touch her belly or hand under her belly reach her chest) because she mews louder than before.  for example Sunday, i took her to walk around in backyard by holding her in my arms, she was fine but this morning, when i held her up to go backyard, she kept mewing.    But to me, she is still eating, request to eat and goes up to and down from 2nd floor on her own , it is not a time to consider let go of her.  I am trying to find something that could help on her belly issue.

And please let me know by not giving positive encouragement if it is time, at your experiences, to let her go.  No worries that i fully understand what i need to do but some times, at our selfish, our beloved family member could be put in great suffer.  I may contact with a mobile vet* to evaluate Pixie's condition in addition to Dr. Leong.  One of the reasons i took Pixie weekly acupuncture is that Dr. Leong could let me know if Pixie has not quality of life.  My primary vet clinic is too busy, many vets and schedule is always full.  Luckily, most of front desk ladies (yes, it has usually 2 or 3 front desk) knew me (sigh i am one of its top customers) then they could squeeze me in.  but not always lucky.

This is her picture this morning.  https://1drv.ms.....g?e=QgLg55

CBD could still help, i increased the dosage from 0.2cc to 0.3cc a week ago.  CBD vendor's instruction described that I could increase it up to 0.5cc  (if my memory is correct).  This morning, i increased it to 0.35 cc (control under 0.4cc), hate to over dose her.

She eats small portion a time.  I have opened more than 10 bags of different brand kitten food (high calories) but she ditched most of them.  Currently, she is fine with Purina One Kitten, Blue Buffalo Kitten (chicken) and occasionally Hills T/D.  Since i have to work, i order a SurePet microchip feeder for her.  It shall arrive tomorrow.  Hope it can help her to eat more.

*This mobile vet has helped me in several occasions.

thank you Jerry.  

I squeezed Pixie into the mobile vet's busy scheudle today.  In deed her belly is hard.  It was not the time yet but the vet wanted me to watch her not to let her jump up to or down from heights too often.  After home, she immedately ate some food.

As least now, i have clear direction or the thought of the point that Pixie reaches the point of quality of life.  And, the vet agreed to send her coworker, also a vet, to my home if the time is a Saturday or she would come to my house in between her schedules if it is a weekday.*

*you are correct, when come to the point of losing quality of life, only the owner knows the time.  but  it was so distressed when you know the time has come but no mobile vets could help.  I had troubles to find a mobile vet for Miri, my 4rd angel cat.  Eventually, i took her to my primary vet.  As soon as I put her into a bamboo basket (layered with soft towel and a dog training pad) she immedately in deep sleep all the way to vet office and never wokeup, so peacful.

thank you Sally and Jerry!  Animal is always wiser than human.  They know the time to start a new chapter.  Only human in grief.

I let Pixie go late afternoon yesterday.  A mobile vet came to help at my house. She moved on quietly and peacefully in my arms.  it was so hard so hard. 

Cremation service picked up her body this morning, private cremation.   She was clean, no potty, only little bit liquid from her nose, just like my Miri and Vogue-Gigi.  thanks the ONE for taking her in in such beautiful way

I would like her to stay but not in form of no quality of life and when she was ready.    At least, i know that she is happy now and no more illness.  

Thank you again for the supports.

Oh my gosh my heart broke when I saw this news, I'm so sorry! You did everything possible for Pixie, and it's clear she was a family member who was treasured and adored. She left this world with dignity, and surrounded by true love. No cat could ever ask for a better transition to their next place in the universe.

It has been an honor to be part of your journey with Pixie. We learned and grew because you took the time to invite us into your life and we are so thankful. Her legacy lives on, always.

Many many hugs coming your way. We are keeping you close in our hearts during this sad time.

  

thank you very much!
