Pet Emergency

Tuesday: We left the RV around 11am today and scoured the flea markets some more. I returned about 4:30pm to find Mr Milo meowing and stuck on the side of the bed among the stuff. I lifted him onto the bed and noticed he didn't move his rear legs. I called Lou and she and Dawn returned. We thought he might be constipated, but he didn't seem to feel his rear legs. We called the emergency vet in quartzite and were referred to the vet if Blythe. We dashed him over and the vet assumes he may have had a blood clot (Saddle thrombosis). He gave him a shot to try to dissolve it and we'll return in the morning to see what the prognosis is. Lou and Dawn were going to leave Mr Milo and me here tomorrow morning and return to Palo Alto. Their departure is delayed until we know. It's going to be a long night.

Wednesday: We were at the vets door when they opened. Mr Milo had not improved so he received another shot. We stayed around home with "himself" hoping that he would get better. We returned to the vet in Blythe again at 5pm for another shot.
Thursday: Mr Milo got worst during the night, the rest of his body may be affected now. We had an appointment with the vet first thing again and due to Mr Milo's condition and lack of improvement we had him put to sleep. He'll be returned to his favorite place, our back yard, but now he can stay out all night and won't have to be on a leash. He was the best cat. Nice manners, good traveler, able to "talk" (make his needs known). Considering he broke both hip joints before he was a year old and made it to be more than ten years old, he ended up with a good life. We'll miss him a lot.
