Pray for Mio

On the last day of my father memorials, we got one more surprise. Mio, our cat was suddenly losing balance, was unstable and weak. At the time, I was pretty pre-occupied with managing all the logistics for the last memorial. But my mom notified the strange behaviour and I got extremely worried.

“I don’t want her to die like dad” That’s what I told my mom to show how worried I was. I rushed her to the nearby vet which at 8 AM was still closed. I was about to bring her to another clinic in town but my mom said to just wait because at 9, the vet will come.

One of the staffs who were there told me to administer first care aid because at first he suspected mio was poisoned/ate something with poison. So, we gave her medicine and waited until the vet came around 9 AM. When the vet came, she told us that mio has to stay overnight and I was required to deposit some money. At the time, my heart just sank.It was costly and something I couldn’t afford yet. The memorials left pretty much quite a hole in my wallet and I went home feeling even more heavier. I paid some of them anyway and I was hoping mio would be in their best care.

I went back home because I still have so much to do for the last memorial of my father. Around the afternoon, the clinic texted me about her condition and sent a video. Mio was hooked on IV and barely able to walk. This was the condition of hers sent by the clinic.

The current suspect of the cause is that she was hit by a motorbike/ fell down. The thing is, our cats are pretty much indoor and rarely ventured outside. However, due to the memorials with the doors pretty much open 24 hours, the cats roam around and with motorbike passing through our place, that could be a possibility that mio was hit by it.

It was better that mio stayed overnight at the clinic because we were so busy and we didn’t have the time to even care about other things but the memorial.

Today after everything is over, we picked mio and we received disheartening news. There’s no clinic in town that could treat her and she needs to be moved to an animal hospital which is 2 hours from home. Another treatment that we could do is acupuncture theraphy that could be given other than the hospital. My mom and I discussed that for now, we’ll bring mio home and we’ll try to find more ways for her to recover. At home, mio struggled to walk but was more than happy to meet her siblings and her kitten. She attempted to follow me around despite her poor condition. It was really sad seeing her try to walk.

Now, we’ve placed her inside the cage so she won’t have to struggle to eat, to visit the litterbox and run around following me or anyone at home. The good thing is that she’s able to eat. She just won’t be able to roam around like she used to.

The clinic did their best and it’s really nice of them to always send the end message with;

“Please pray for Mio so that her condition recovers soon”
