Efoo 2009-2019 (2019-11-15)
My sister made a tribute to Efoo on her instagram
First exam after he fell ill
Always a nervous wreck at the vet's
Getting medicine
and nutrients because he was vomitting and couldn't hold down food and water
Blood being drawn for tests
Efoo never uttered a sound for any needle pricks, x-rays and echo. He was a very good boy till the end
Getting urine by being stuck a tube through his penis was brutal
I believe it did more harm than good to his body. I don't think I can allow this procedure on our future cats
He perked up after the first vet visit
Unfortunately it didn't last
Creatinine and amylase readings were the highest the machine could record
Further blood test in an outside lab confirmed Efoo's dire kidney functions (or lack there of)
With the vet's support and reassurance,
we had to end Efoo's suffering
humanely
Despite being very weak, Efoo still freaked out a little in the clinic
Efoo went peacefully
The vet cleaned his body before handing it to us
Because of the historical typhoon hitting Tokyo the day he died, we had to store Efoo in the freezer before his body could be picked up
He looked so peaceful
