her down." She had fluids all up in her lungs and around her heart. She's 18 years old, so it makes sense we're getting to that point but, my word, her timing could not be worse after we just put Opie down on Saturday. We had them drain the fluids and they gave us some drugs that'll hopefully help delay the inevitable for a little longer. Thankfully, other than her breathing being quite labored yesterday, she hadn't been in any noticeable distress and has still been curling up and purring. But I say, the timing is just comical. The emergency vet must've thought we were psychos when she broke the news, cause we both just started laughing in a "Of (bleeping) course" kind of way. Then my wife started sobbing and we told her about Opie.
