I just really need some help right now

[Nayhdia]

My cat passed today, I walked out and found her in a pool of blood. I took her to the vet apparently she has had a tumor for some time and it exploded in her nasal cavity. I had to put her down and now I feel so ->-bleeped-<-ing guilty, why didn't I see this if it was there for so long? Why couldn't I do chemo just because she was 18? I can't even cry yet I feel so horrible. I came here because I feel so comfortable here. I m sorry I know that you all have bigger problems than this but I am so sad at the moment and I really need some help.

Why wouldn't they let me do chemo? I wish I could cry. I m sorry.

*hug* I'm so sorry. I've had my dog since I was 9, I can't even imagine how I will feel when she eventually passes. They're a part of your life, your family, sometimes they are the only one that is there when you need someone. It's a tough loss.

Thank you so much, just being so sad. Hate it so much. Animals are usually so much better than humans, I am only getting a parrot from now on that lives for 100 years so I will never feel this again.

Thank you Beverley, I am thinking of getting a kitten but I might get a bird that lives for 100 years.

Unfortunately, sometimes animals can have unforeseen physical ailments     I had a cat suddenly pass from a heart attack and my dog had to be put down from cancer     I loved them both very much

I've had other animals come and go, but those two really stick in my mind

Right now I have an Iguana    It will probably outlive me

Grieve and cry, Nayhdia, it's natural. Do not blame yourself, animals hide injuries and pain because in nature the sick and wounded are targeted first. I have had many animals in my life, each one takes a piece of you with them. And remember, if a parrot outlives you, it will cry when it loses you. Hugs, Devlyn

I'm sorry about your kitty, Nayhdia.  They are so precious - the death of an animal companion can be the most consuming pain.
