It all started when Prue had a high fever of 40 degrees and was so limp and sickly. Piper and Phoebe then caught on with the fever and I brought all of them to the vet for him to observe and look after their condition because I couldn't get them to take their medication.
Next thing I know, the vet informed me that Prue's condition was improving but Phoebe had problems that hinted at the possibility of the fatal FIP. My heart sank and ached at the thought of losing her, the youngest of the three of them. However, a day later tests have shown that she's clear of FIP and was responding to some medication. I was relieved and things seemed rosy and well again. I decided to continue leaving the girls at the vet's so that Phoebe could fully recover before they are brought home.
Then yesterday, the vet called and for a moment I was happy because I thought he'd tell me they can all come home. But it was yet another bad news. This time, it's Piper.
Sigh, I don't know what is wrong, one by one of my cats seem to have problems and each is more serious than the other. Piper seems to have a heart condition *cries* The vet says that through an X-ray, he could see that the size of her heart is abnormal, it is much bigger and it is a problem. He is suspecting two possibilities, one of which is curable and the other, well, if that's what Piper is suffering from, then all we can do is to give her medication to prolong her lifespan.
Tomorrow the vet will do an ultrasound and whatever tests necessary to determine what it is. Once again, I'm steeling myself up for the worst. I don't know how strong I can be, second time around to face the fact that my beloved cat may not make it. It's really painful. Though I managed to be strong the first time with Phoebe's case, it's hard to contain it now. I feel that I'm losing my courage to be able to let go when the time comes.
This is so painful...please God, please...let my cats live. It may be a selfish request, but I'm not ready. Not yet. But if there are better plans and places for them to be, I accept it but please let me be strong enough to take this.
