Oatey was one of my bestest boys. He helped me through so many of the hardest times of my life. I took him to the vet unexpectedly this morning. The vet said he had a 50/50 chance with hospitalization to stabilize the level of kidney disease we found. I had no idea he was sick. I was laid off back in October and couldn't afford to treat him and also have him still be in pain.. I stayed at the vet and just held him until they had to lock up and I was forced to make the call.. he went in my arms, only 8 years old. I am completely under water with grief for my boy. 6 hours alone on the floor just holding him and crying in complete shock yesterday.. I couldn't think of a better place to share.
