Thanks for all the love here.....just thought I'd update you guys that Lizzie passed away yesterday afternoon. The vet said she declined pretty quickly this weekend. Nice thing though; he's only charging us for the initial treatments the first day, & not the week's worth of boarding her or the other treatments. My girls are pretty bummed, but are ready to get a new kitty since my mom's cat had kittens this weekend. Go figure.

Awww...so sorry to hear...

I've posted this before, but we send this to our customers when their pets die:
The Rainbow Bridge


Glad to hear you got good news on the vet bill and I hope another pet takes her place real soon...did you ever figure out the true cause?
 
Oh, Lacy, this was not what I was expecting to read! So sorry for your loss...
 
Lacey,
I'm sorry for your loss. Prayers and hugs to all of you.
Another kitty won't replace the one you just lost but, it will wiggle its way into your heart and be just as loved.
 
Oh Lacy - I'm so sorry Lizzie didn't make it! How sad - I know how tough it is to lose a beloved family pet. Hopefully your girls will be able to love a new one just as much.
 
I hoe the kitty wasn't in pain. I hate it when animals die!!! Very sorry about the kitty! :(
 
Aw, I saw that this thread had been updated, and I was hoping it was to tell us that Lizzie had come home... I am so sorry she didn't make it. Hugs to everyone.Even though a new kitty will not take her place, maybe getting to know him or her will distract you from the pain.
 
Awe so sorry to hear! I hope she didn't suffer.

How ironic your mom's cat had kittens this weekend. Your kitty must have known!

God Bless...

Thanks guys; even more ironic, we realized that she died on her birthday:( We don't really know for sure what happened....for about $70 we could have, but that's okay!
 
Awww... sorry Lacy... that new kitten will actually have a very special kind of love ... the love your Lizzie taught your family about as well as the kindness displayed by your vet in forgiving so much of your bill... God's hand was all over this for you wasn't it?
