baltar battlestar galactica

. . . Is dying.� Donapos;t know how else to say it, so Iapos;m being blunt about it.� My wonderfully angsty little girl of fourteen years isnapos;t long for this world.�

For those of you that havenapos;t heard anything about it:� About a month ago, I had to rush Dot to the pet hospital because she wasnapos;t eating and was walking funny.� I thought it was just an ear infection, but turned out a lot more serious.� Turns out she had a urinary tract infection, possible kidney failure, and high blood pressure (turns out the combination of these things provides symptoms similar to an ear infection).� They put her on blood pressure meds and antibiotics for the infection.� And, sheapos;s been fine.� So, I took her in for a check up on Monday.�

After blood tests came back, I come to find out that sheapos;s in kidney failure and has become anemic.� The Veterinarian told me today that Dot has 2 - 3 months to live (just in time for Christmas or my birthday . . . Lucky me).� I knew her time was short, just not that short.� Theoretically, I could extend her life beyond that, but that would require expensive and/or high-risk treatments that would only extend her life a few more months (into a time where sheapos;d be suffering and lingering).� I donapos;t have the will to do that to her.�

Iapos;ve already cried much of the tears that I can over this.� Now, its time to just make her comfortable.�
