Rest in peace, Kragar.

We went to give him his second dose of antibiotics this evening.

He'd seized again.

I decided to stay with him, on my lap, in the toy room where we'd been keeping him so we could find him to medicate him.

After a while, he started making gasping, coughing breaths, as if he were trying to hack up a hairball.

And he was drooling again.

I called in <lj user="shadowflyer" to see what he thought. He didn't know either. Then Kragar's bladder cut loose. On me. And he went limp. No heartbeat. No breathing. Goodbye, Kragar. You will be missed.

Oh my. I wish I'd read this before I started blathering on about dinner parties on IM.

I am so sorry for your loss. It's not much consolation at a time like this, but at least he died in the company of the people he loved and who loved him, and at least he's at peace.
