#Others: Day 2 - Mt Pleasant Animal Hospital

I have a sleepless night, perhaps something bothering me... and of course, it is about my beloved cat, Sunny a.k.a. (bOy). Ever since he was admitted to Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital on 20/02/2004, I found that my house seems to be very quiet. If not, the whole house will be upside down. He will run and jumps all the places, and sometimes we even played hide and seek....

But today when I reached the office, I received called from the vet, DR KAREN NG. I thought will be delivering good news about my cat recovery. Instead, I was informed that my cat condition was unstable and in critical condition... It is better for us to visit him today cause she doesn't think that my cat can pull through till tomorrow (22/02).

I cried and ask my executive if I can take time off to visit my cat in the hospital. My time off has been approved between 1-4 pm. Without further hesitation, I grab my wallet and dashed out to catch a cab to No. 282 Whitley Road....

When I reached there, I was informed by DR KAREN that my cat is weak and trembling due to the kidney and not in good shape. She even suggested us to put him down. The moment I heard that both my sister, Norm and I broke into tears. Tears keep rolling down my cheeks like a fountain. I don't have the heart to put him down but at the same time, I don't want him to suffer further. But DR KAREN also suggested that if we are still not ready to put him down, we may opt for a 2nd blood test to see if it has dropped significantly. Then we can still reconsider.

When I reached the office, DR KAREN called with the results, in fact, the test shows it has dropped significantly but still 3 x bad. She will seek assistance from the AED and update me on the situation. So I have to keep my finger crossed if there're chances for him to recover. I do not mind letting him stay in the hospital for further observation rather than to put him down.

Ohh nooo!!! Look at me how sad I can be even towards an animal. Just then I remember what my friends use to say; when it is around, you do not know how to treasure it but when it is gone, then realize how he/she meant to you even it is just a cat. I will wait for tomorrow's (22/02) result then...
