Winston
Our cat, Winston, underwent surgery today. The little guy was diagnosed with a bladder stone a few weeks ago.
He was put on antibiotics and medicine to dissolve the stone, but it stuck around.
Winston was then in the dangerous position where the stone could move and cause a life-threatening blockage. The vet did more tests to see if our little buddy could hand the surgery and if he had another health issues.
That’s when we had a difficult choice. The surgery was not cheap and the vet said he understood that for some people it’s really a choice between treatment or euthanasia.
I really feel for people who have to make the latter choice. Winston is our buddy and I don’t think I could face having to put him down just because we couldn’t afford treatment.
The Farley Foundation helps seniors and people with disabilities pay vet bills. I’m so glad something like this exists. It’s so sad when people have to put down their pets.
I’m making a donation to the Farley Foundation in honour of Winston. I encourage you to do the same.
