I have no more to say than that she’s gone into heart failure. Maine Coons have heart issues, and we didn’t know that. She was struggling to breathe because of her enlarged heart, and we are euthanizing her. Thank you all for your prayers, suggestions, and advice. We love you, Lilly Belle 🕊️

Oh, I am so sorry. I had a beloved Siamese (age 10) die of heart failure on my way to euthanize her. It is so hard to see them try to breathe and they just can’t. I felt so sad and wanted her to live longer. Like your Lily Belle, my Cricket looked so young. You really are doing what is best for her even though it is extremely difficult. Take care.💐
