I'm heartbroken...

I've been struggling to write this post but since there is nothing else left to do... Here I come.

Quesadillo, my cat who spent almost 1 year living with us just died.

Since the past two weeks I've been taking him to the vet. He stayed there for 3 days getting X-rays, feces blood exams done to him because he was throwing up constantly, not eating and behaving very lethargically. The only result we got was that his kidneys were a little inflamed and his amylase levels in blood were higher than normal but regardless we never got a diagnosis from that. In retrospect I have the suspicion my cat might have suffered from pancreatitis and that has almost no way to be prevented once it happens.

Still the veterinarians told us to change Quesadillo's diet and we did but our cat didn't want to try the new food and kept on eating the same dry food he has always eaten. Two days passed after he arrived home and everything seemed normal until yesterday when I found more vomit left by my cat. It was a sickly yellow puddle and that got me worried yet again. I went to the vet and Quesadillo got a quick check up, a couple of shots and with that we were sent home. He was very lethargic but I was confident he would get better the next day.

It is now today and although he was a little bit more active in the morning he was still throwing up so I left him downstairs just to make sure I wouldn't upset his stomach anymore. I didn't hear him cry. He was sleeping on the couch. Everything seemed normal.

Now I just went downstairs and found him peeking under the couch. I called his name and there was no response. I called him again and noticed he didn't even blink. That's when I realized he was gone.

I really loved that cat. My husband found him last year during a hurricane. He was almost left for dead since he looked like it was over and yet he realized it was still breathing.

I'm not sure how to end this... I'm just sad and heartbroken. You guys don't have to care but if you did finish reading all of this... Thank you. Really.

I'm going to keep on going for now. Gotta stay strong for my other cats, my kid, my husband and all of you of course.

PV out.
