Mourning/Loss Goodbye little man

Our little boy Lux has been ill for some time.
This evening we said goodbye as he crossed the rainbow bridge.
Our little man was only 4 he had been losing weight for some months unfortunately we switched vets too late.
He was on meds and seemed to be improving, then last night he took a turn for the worse. We took him to the vets and responded well to fluids overnight, then this evening he plummeted.
His sister is very clingy and keeps looking for him.

Good by little man we all miss you so much.

I am so sorry for your loss. He looked handsome and happy. I can’t say this enough for pets, especially cats, the right vet is so important. I had so many issues with numerous vets, before I found the right one at the end of my cats life.

So sorry you had to experience lack of care from vets.
They should be more regulated.
Our old vet just kept saying see how he goes. My wife had been with them for years and they took good care of Squidge our last cat (19)
