WORSE

Shell shocked!  Took Merlin, who was not doing all that great, for a week later check up.  His kidneys are shutting down.  The vet is keeping him over night on a drip to help him.  But only so we can bring him home for a weekend of cuddles and crab (his favourites) and then they have advised us we will have to let him go.  I am wrecked.  Justice was a mess when I told him, but has since become completely pragmatic about it.  I can't believe it!  I love this cat - and he is just a baby!  This is old man cat disease... we have had to make the appointment for Monday, but if he is doing ok then we can wait until Tuesday when our regular vet is back at work...
