R.I.P. my sweet Henry

It was so fast.  One day he was fine and the next....
Last evening, he had a syncopal attack.  I took him to an emergency vet who did xrays and ekg.  2 hours later, he seemed fine and I took him home.  This morning i took him to the regular vet.  Long story short, heart, kidneys okay but blood work showed severe problems in his liver.  He was definitely suffering.
My heart is breaking.  I know I did the right thing.  At least he was not sick long.

I got Henry as s kitten.  He has always been my sweet boy.  Even last night, he came to bed and slept on the pillow.  There is a hollow spot in my heart.  I told him to wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Karin--I am so terribly very sorry to read about this. I know exactly how devastating the decision and the following days are. I am so thankful that he didn't suffer long and was able to be his usual big lovey kitty self. Big hugs to you, Spooky & Willie. Call anytime if you need to talk.
