Rest in Peace

For those of you who don't know, Bandito passed away yesterday, most likely from cancer.  He died at the vet but luckily the kind vet was there with him during his last moments.  I arrived a few minutes afterwards so I could say good bye to him and pet him one last time.

He was a wonderful loving and very unique cat who I miss terribly.  I'll update more at a later date.  

Sad News

Sadly today when I woke up Bandito was very listless and still refused to eat.  He has become increasingly thin through the months and now his energy was very low.  I called his vet and she said to bring him in to make sure he didn't have a urinary blockage.  I brought him in and the vet said he was clear from a blockage and I made an appointment for him to be seen at 4pm.  Through the day he cried and could barely seem to move.  Finally at the vet appointment I learned that he is extremely dehydrated and has very low glucose, he's at 35 when he should be at 70.  His temperature is also very low, around 97 when he should be around 100. He's now been hospitalized for the next two days and been given fluids and dextrose through an IV.  The vet isn't sure what is causing his declining health, she suggests maybe a kidney infection or a tumor in his pancreas.  I'll find out more when his blood work is done tomorrow.  Hopefully it is a treatable infection and Bandito can rebound!  I love him so much and wish him a speedy recovery.
