Dear Rachel, I am so, so sorry about your loss of Mr. Dobbs. I can't imagine the shock you must be feeling. I do know,however, that he knows how much you love him that he is grateful that he got to leave this world from a home where he was loved, even if it was only for a short time. Take

There are days like this when I don't know why I continue to take in new FIV and FeLV cases. Mr. Dobbs was a gorgeous pure white, long-haired previous stray that tested FIV positive and was being boarded by a local vet until they could find a rescue to take him. We had offered to take him in, he

Rachel, I'm so sorry to hear about beautiful Mr. Dobbs. What a horrible shock it must have been when you woke up this morning. I don't know what could have happened. I know a lot of times that people talk about using ISO gas here instead of regular anesthesia during surgery and to give fluids

checked on them again. My personal vet (not involved in the spays) speculated that there may be a congenital heart problem involved. Another vet speculated that vaccinations at the time of the spay might have stressed the cats out too much. Mr. Dobbs died in a lovinghome -- not on the streets

Thank you all for the kind words. It is still such a shock for me and I'm sick that he died alone.I just hate that. I wish I had slept in that room with him, there is a daybed in there, perhaps he would have woken me up and let me know something was wrong. I questioned the vaccinations also,

Rachael- I am so sorry. But how wonderful for Mr. Dobbs that you gave him a home and love-even if for such a short time. Please know that you both are in my heart and prayers. Roxanne

been in the same room or even the same house but he knew you were close and that your heart was with him. Our hearts are always with those we love, even when our bodies are not. Mr. Dobbs left this world with his angels and with total love. He was warm, sheltered, fed, and, being redundant

oh my god, I am so sorry. Yes, I have heard of it. Hideyo had it happen to her. I think it happens in a small number of cases, like with human surgeries. It could mean there was an underlying health issue that was undetectable. Michelle

I chose tonot spay my Moogie (FELV+). I think many of us choose to not put these guys under unnecessary surgeries (though sometimes it is something you just can't live with for male cats, they do tend to reek). BUT, my girl was an indoors ONLY cat, with no intact males in the house, so there
