Hello,

My 6 year old Himalayan Persian baby girl Dominique was diagnosed with PKD 2 weeks ago. She spent about a week in the hospital and wasn't expected to survive through last week. She is my baby girl. I talk to her and she responds, she knows her name and commands. She sleeps with me every night. She follows me everywhere in the house. I expected her to be around for another 10 years. Her kidneys are failing quickly. If I had the money, I would get a kidney transplant for her. She is on numerous meds, i.v. fluids, special food which she stopped eating, so now I give her chicken or tuna. Today she went blind. My heart is breaking. I don't want to lose her. I love her so much. She is my little sidekick. I am faced with the decision to put her down before she suffers anymore. I can't do it. I can't put her in the car and drive her to the vet to have her murdered. this is hard enough without this decision. I am here alone, no family. I can't have kids, so she is my kid. There has to be some type of advice or support for this situation. I can't take watching her suffer, but I don't want to lose her. Thank you for listening.
