Smokey's final GFM update 14 April 2026 This will be my last update on my sweet boy Smokey. On Thursday 2 1/2 weeks ago, I came home from my art group to find Smokey paralysed in his back legs in the kitchen. My poor baby was incontinent too. It was heartbreaking to see him suffering. I wrapped him in a towel and put him in his carry box before rushing him to hospital. They did various tests and administered pain relief. The veterinarian said that he had a blood clot in his spine which had paralysed him. She was unable to treat him there and that I should take him to the emergency vet just down the road where they were better equipped to treat him. At least at that point he wasn't in pain. The veterinarian at the specialised hospital examined him and said that his survival chances were poor. Even with treatment they could not dissolve the large blood clot in his back and that he may not live through the weekend. His back paws were turning blue due to lack of blood flow. Treatment would extend his life by only 3 months at most and he would be suffering. No matter how much I wanted to have more time with Smokey, I could not let him suffer and be in pain. I had to make the awful decision to euthanise him. I am heartbroken and miss my darling boy Smokey. He was so cute, sweet and loving. He had been doing so well on his thyroid medicine and with his asthma under control. I think that he got the blood clot due to his heart disease. He was going to have another heart ultrasound not long after he suffered his blood clot, so unfortunately he wasn't on heart medicine in time. I did everything the different vets said for me to do no matter the cost. It was all so sudden as he was looking so much better with his thyroid medicine. RIP sweetie pie Smokey. I will love you forever. I get his ashes delivered this morning so he is coming home.

Usually weather and squirrels! And sometimes kids playing ... and at the back window a little bird last year came right up to the window #palsporch x.com/CharliePurrker/status/…
