So Tsuki now is walking like a drunk swaying, falling, etc when she walks and on top of that she is laying in BOTH of her and her sisters litter boxes and I don't know why. I've included a video of the former though it's incomplete

Also I know I need to clean up a bit I was gone for days from my apartment and been exhausted most of the week when I was here (wasn't really sleeping due to being overly worried about Tsuki kept feeling like she might pass while I was asleep irrational fear I know but anxiety disorders will do that).

I didn't have time to provide more details earlier, but you should know that there are a large number of possibilities that will make a cat stagger like that. The least worrisome would be something like an ear infection. Then there could be something like an electrolyte balance which can have many underlying causes some way more serious than others. And worst case scenarios like FIP. So it's really, really important that she see a vet right away...if your vet can't fit you in today then I really recommend going to an emergency vet. Since she has a fairly long history of medical issues at this point, you will want to take any receipts or reports with you if you have to go to an e-vet.

If they couldn't have I would have called the other vets around here (there's at least 4 or 5 in my area).

Unfortunately and I'm having a hard time writing this I haven't really stopped crying in over two hours and right now I genuinely wish I was dead. But she was diagnosed with FIP. I told my family already. It kills me knowing I can't do anything about it only try to make her comfortable for whatever time she has left. I can't stop crying I've had blood relatives die but never cared this just hurts so much.

Tsukiyomi,
Maybe this is why Sera has been acting like she has...she knew something was wrong with her sister...
Keeping you all in my prayers...

I appreciate it feel pretty low right now because I had to let her go sooner than I expected and I thought she was going to die in my apartment in my arms after seeing her have a seizure. But I did manage to get her to the vet and end her in the end. I already miss her though and keep expecting to see Tsuki just being Tsuki.

I know I did what I had to and that shes gone for good but still it really hurts and I've cried so much over the last twenty four hours that my eyes burn at times. :(

Oh, gentle and kind hugs. It's never ever easy, even when we know its for the best in our heads. But our hearts always bleed from grief.

If you havent already, when you feel up to it, I hope you will go over to the "Rainbow Bridge" section and write the tribute that is in your heart for your precious one. SO many of us know how you are feeling, and how deeply it hurts.....
