The recent updates may be intermittent, and I feel very sad and depressed. I cannot write at all. The feeling of panic, fear, and heartache can only be felt by myself, and others cannot feel it at all.
In July 2022, I picked up an injured kitten. The leg was seriously injured and a large piece of it was rotten. The piece of flesh was licked away by the kitten itself, leaving a big hole, which looked very scary.
My own financial situation was not good, and I didn’t want to take it to the hospital, so I gave it medicine and food every day. I thought it would not survive, but the kitten survived and the wound was slowly healing. I couldn't be more happy.
Since I started raising it, my updates have slowed down, and I can only write one chapter a day. It is everywhere in my life.
My sister named it Doudou. It grew up slowly from a kitten less than two months old, and many interesting things happened between us.
In August, I took Doudou to the pet hospital for vaccination for the first time. I was afraid that Doudou would be in poor health and might catch the disease in the future, so I spent more than 300 yuan to get all four vaccinations.
When I went there for the first time, Doudou weighed just over 2 pounds. By the time he got vaccinated, it was October 1st and he was already over 5 pounds.
Then I continued to grow up happily, going to the next door to bully Sister Da Mi, going to the door to yell at Brother Zhuangzhuang, and going downstairs with me to cook every day, and then we would come back together.
I raised it until it was chubby, and Doudou started to go into heat, howling, and biting toys, which was okay. Indiscriminate peeing was the most annoying thing, so I had to take it for birth control, otherwise it would pee on my clothes and bed. .
After birth control, Doudou suffered for a few days, suffering pain, discomfort from wearing a cat collar, and urinary incontinence. Finally, after a week, the wound healed and she was free.
But one day half a month later, after dinner, Doudou came back upstairs with me. He lost energy and suddenly started retching. I yelled that it was afraid that I would hit it, so it jumped on my bed, and its stomach The food was all vomited, and I almost collapsed. I quickly pulled off the sheets, but the mattress underneath was soaked through, and there was a very unpleasant smell. There were two mattresses that also needed to be disassembled and washed.
I quickly cleaned up and felt something was wrong with Doudou, maybe she was sick.
I checked online and found that it looked like gastroenteritis, so I bought probiotics and gave him some anti-inflammatory drugs, but Doudou has never been well. He hasn't eaten anything since that day and has been vomiting every day.
I ran to the hospital to get injections and medicine for it, and asked my sister to give it three injections. One of the injections hurt, and it struggled violently.
But it didn't work and he still vomited, so I decided to take him to the hospital the next day.
It was very cold that day. I got up very early. At 8:30, I got Didi and went to the hospital. Unfortunately, the hospital was not open and the wind was biting. I was okay. It would be cold. We waited for a long time and the hospital was also cold. Don't open the door,
I had no choice but to take a taxi to another hospital. The doctor asked for various examinations, which were estimated to cost more than 1,000 yuan. I was dumbfounded. I only spent a few hundred or more than 1,000 yuan per month, and it was just for examinations. To be honest, I Really hesitated.
I judged that Doudou had been doing well. When he suddenly vomited, it was because he caught a cold while playing in the corridor. Gastroenteritis was the most common problem, so I checked a basic blood test and confirmed that he was infected. I gave him two injections, which cost more than 300 yuan. Being frugal by nature, I felt really distressed, and I had to come in for injections every day.
The taxi cost more than 50 just to come and go every day. Plus the cost of medicine, I was crying in my heart, but I still insisted on taking Doudou for injections every day.
But it still didn't get better. The doctor suggested that we still need to check biochemistry and a lot of other things. I was very confused and didn't know whether to continue, but looking at Doudou, I left this hospital. It was too expensive.
There is also a newly opened hospital nearby which is said to be cheap. When we went there, there were many people there and we had to wait for a long time before our turn came.
The doctor still had the same set of tests, and the cost was relatively cheap. I couldn't refuse. They issued orders one by one. They even had to check for feline plague. We were vaccinated, but the doctor said no, so we had to check. .
Doudou hasn't eaten for several days and can't even draw blood, which makes her feel so distressed.
The doctor came over again and said that he needed to draw blood, but it was not enough. There might be something wrong with his kidneys, so poor Doudou had to have his blood drawn again.
After waiting for a long time, the test results came out and it turned out that he had severe pancreatitis. Oh my god, how could this happen? He can eat and sleep every day and is so chubby. How could he get this disease?
Now that I'm here and can't leave, I started treatment. The injections and infusions took more than five hours until eight o'clock in the evening.
From that day on, I carried Doudou on my back for injections and infusions every day. I didn’t know when the end would come.
All the expenses on the first day were more than 1,300, and on the second day they were more than 500. The daily expenses were about the same. Even if we included a taxi and lunch, I didn’t dare to calculate how much I spent. Anyway, the card was empty.
On the sixth day of infusion, the doctor checked the pancreatic indicators. Miraculously, they were normal. So it's okay, so we don't need to come anymore.
But the doctor said that I should continue to take injections to consolidate, but I had no choice, so I continued to take injections. Later, I couldn't bear it anymore, I ran out of money, and my body couldn't bear it anymore. When I saw that Doudou's spirit and appetite had recovered, I told the doctor that I couldn't take it anymore. Raise it slowly at home.
The doctor didn't object, he just warned of precautions.
No matter how much money I spent, I was happy when Doudou was cured. We only took three X-rays, and also did a gastrointestinal angiogram. The doctor said that he was afraid that Doudou would swallow foreign objects, and I was 90% sure that he hadn't, but I didn't think so. I had no choice but to do it. As expected, nothing happened. Another 300 fee was added.
Don't worry about that, just doudou is better and there is no more money to spend, that's fine.
I was still careless. When I got home, Doudou liked to eat canned food very much, so I soaked the cat food in canned soup and ate it. It was okay on the first day, but she vomited the next morning, but only two mouthfuls.
During the examination, the doctor said that the angiogram showed a gastric ulcer. I thought it must be that reason, so I went to the drugstore to buy some medicine for it.
It's somewhat effective, but I still vomit a little in the morning, and my stomach problems are hard to cure, so take your time. But gradually Doudou stopped eating and drinking, and vomited more. Her body quickly lost weight and she is now skin and bones.
I was making a difficult choice. No one in my family supported me in taking Doudou to see a doctor. It was not a small amount of money. For our ordinary family, people couldn’t care less about everyone who had a fever and cough. I still had to care about the cat. , they say just die. Rural cats are like that. Whoever takes it to see a doctor is a waste of money.
I have no choice but to watch Doudou dying of hunger. He won't eat or drink water. I feel that he may have other diseases. I really look down on him. If I spend 10,000 to treat a cat, our whole village Everyone thought I was sick, and my mother strongly opposed it.
I could only check information and go to the drugstore to buy medicine for Doudou, but it was all in vain. A veterinarian on Douyin prescribed two medicines for me to buy, saying that they would be cured.
But the effect is still not good. The key is that it will die in a few days if it doesn't eat. I have to force Doudou to eat and drink. Now Doudou and I are very embarrassed. We don't know how long it can live. It hurts.
I also know rationally that spending so much money on a cat is not worth it. My mother said that there are many broken cats on the street. If one dies, if I catch another one, I will spend money blindly and it will not be used. .
We have a lot of stray cats, and many kittens die in the winter.
But I raised Doudou little by little, and I can't bear to endure it like that now. Although there is little hope, I hope Doudou will get better.
Now I can't sleep for more than a few hours every day. I have to give it medicine, water, and food. The whole house is dirty, and Doudou's fur is even felt.
I went to several pharmacies today to buy some medicine for Doudou. I hope Doudou can eat enough before he dies, but no one has it. Otherwise, it will be sold out.
Finally, I went to a pet hospital and found that it was available. The doctor didn't sell it. She didn't recommend that I take that medicine because it was very irritating. She suggested that I buy another medicine and try it.
But his family didn’t have it, so I had to think of a solution on my own. Doudou was about to die. I looked online and saw that it was more than a hundred dollars, and it couldn’t be delivered on the same day. Can Doudou survive?
I finally gritted my teeth and bought it. I tried it one last time and gave up if it didn't work, just in case it worked.
When I got home, I continued to give Doudou medicine, food and water. He was already dehydrated and his little nose was dry. As long as he vomited once, all the water he drank would be in vain.
The originally chubby cat boy looked at me listlessly, feeling very distressed, but there was nothing he could do. I had done what I could.
If I continue, I will have health problems. My mother is also not in good health and has been coughing. I am afraid that she also has pneumonia. Three people have died in the village, and I cannot patronize Doudou.
I can only depend on Doudou’s fate. I spent several thousand on him, and raising him, I bought almost ten thousand in various things. My mother didn’t even know, otherwise she would definitely scold me to death.
I can only try my best to give Doudou medicine, water, and food so that he can live for a few more days. After a whole day of heartache yesterday, I finally adjusted my mentality and felt a little better. I was able to face Doudou's imminent departure. But every day it lives, I will not give up and insist on feeding it food and water. Even though it vomits it out, it can still eat a little.
At ten o'clock, I gave Doudou some antiemetic medicine. It seemed to have some side effects, but the dosage was too large. It was very uncomfortable and lay motionless. I decided not to take that medicine in the future. I checked online and the effect was not good.
I don’t know what to do anymore, so I can only persevere every day. If it dies, bury it. If it doesn’t, keep feeding it. It’s the best if it gets better. If it doesn’t, I’ll try my best.
I still have to take care of the elderly at home, take care of myself, do some housework, and find time to write a book. Doudou can only leave it to fate.
I changed the fate of its stray cat. It has lived a good life for half a year and will definitely feel very happy.
I still feel very sad, but I can accept it now. I hope a miracle will happen. Friends, give Doudou your blessings!
I still want to go and see it. I feel wobbly when I walk. I don’t know what happened. I feel uncomfortable after taking the medicine. I have been taking this medicine for three days and it was fine before!
Forget it, don’t worry about it, just face the reality, give it one last try, wait until the medicine arrives tomorrow and try it. The seller sent it via SF Express, I don’t know if I can receive it tomorrow.
I hope that one day I will tell you that Doudou is fine. If there is nothing, he will go to the cat star.
