Marty, installment 2.

Today he has been sneezing and has a runny eye. It's his good eye that's runny. The blind eye is fine- but then he's been having drops in that. So vet it was again. There are more eye drops.

The vet agreed that the signs, especially given he has normal temp and normal bp-point to some kind of cerebral lesion. We have to wait and see, or get him an MRI. An MRI costs a grand... and might not not tell us anything we can do anything about, or it might reveal something that can be fixed. And if it can be fixed, that won't come cheap either.

WHYWHYWHY did I cancel the insurance. I could have gone without something- selfish, short sighted cow that I am.

His Quality of life is still good. When it isn't.... Do I love him enough to let go?

It's not selfish to have given up the insurance. You made a risk assessment and the risk was higher than you assessed.

I have never had pet insurance and Fleabie's 13 now. I haven't always been as comfortable as I am now and things could have gone badly here too.

You love your animals dearly and you give them care and affection, food and a warm home. You take them to the vet when they're ill. That's so much more than some people. Don't put yourself down.

*hugs* I know how you feel. Nathan's cat is on his last legs now and his family have been wondering at what point they need to let go and have the poor little guy put down. I really hope this doesn't happen to Marty.

Want to come round and give you and Mr Thomas a big hug.
