We're all upset. Not a good day
I'm so upset but have to be strong for the kids. Will have a good cry later.
The vet thinks he'd been out fighting and probably been bitten which resulted in a huge abscess which had burst. I hadn't noticed anything over the past few days and I feel do guilty. Maybe if I'd have seen he'd still be here?
This bit is a bit gorey. Where the abscess had burst there was a massive cavity between his fur and his body which was infected and really smelly. The vet says she had seen similar to this before and the cat had undergone several operations and stitching and treatment but it was just prolonging the inevitable!

If it would just be prolonging the inevitable then as horrid as it is it was the kindest thing to do.
So sorry to hear about it hun, it must be awful for you

Just waiting for my other half to get home so we can have a funeral.
I couldn't be without my pets but it is so hard when things like this happen. Xxx
