I sat with him all day and several times thought he was nearly dead, but he stayed alive long enough to make it to the vet. My vet agreed that euthanasia was the best option. I had thought I felt a lump, and my vet said it was lymphosarcoma....so I'm at peace with our decision. I'm just so angry at the person who gave him to me - apparently he had several episodes of sickness during the time she had him, yet I was never informed of this. He was presented to us as an asymptomatic cat who had just happened to test positive for the virus. If I had known this, I don't think I'd have taken on the heartbreak of another sick cat, especially so soon after Chutney's death. I'd only had Frosty for a little over a month, and he appeared to be healthy until a couple of days ago. My vet said he didn't blame me for being ticked off - what if he had had some other disease that could have been passed to my cats? I have 3 with FeLV and 2 with FIV, all healthy...she knew her cat would have been living with mine and yet she failed to fill me in completely on his condition. She'd wanted to be with him when he passed, and I was so angry, I called her this morning and told her Frosty hadn't made it through the night. Then I hung up on her. On a happier note - Bridget had her 4th LTCI injection today, and guess what? She has been steadily gaining weight and visibly growing since beginning treatment. _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
