Shiloh Leaves Us

Sweet Shiloh crossed the Rainbow Bridge yesterday afternoon. He went to the internist with Jim for follow-up in dealing with his urinary tract infection. Shiloh was playing with his catnip mouse (his favorite) just before he (and Scooter) left for his appointment. He passed away at the hospital in my arms, with Scooter alongside, as we tried to figure out why he went so quickly from normal kitty to having seizures. It seems that his congenital defects caught up with him, and he was actually in massive kidney failure, and may have had Addison's Disease also; the extra stress of a vet visit brought it all to the forefront. I've never seen lab work like his from a cat (or dog) that wasn't already in the hospital and in critical care.
We so deeply miss this little angel ~ he taught us so much about overcoming physical challenges and unconditional love. I will miss his "hugs" as much as Scooter misses his wrestling partner. We were truly blessed to have loved him for the short time we had...
