What a terrible thing to have to go through Belinda. Tom's is in the bone marrow. What a terrible disease to have. I am not looking forward to this when the time comes.

Hi Barbara,
We never found out, his count was at 6 when I took him in, he was
still acting fairly normal and eating pretty good, but his breathing was
off and for a few days pryor he wasn't following his usual routine, so I
knew something was wrong. His breathing had only started to sound
labored (he was also breathing faster than normal), that day and that's
why I took him to the vet. She was in shock when his bloodwork came
back and it was at 6, she said he should be dead. She recomended
euthanasia right then and there, well Frankie was my soul kitty and I
wasn't ready for that. She said we could do a tranfusion but it would
only help for a few weeks then he'd be back in the same shape, she also
said it was painful. I told her I'd take him home and bring him back
the next morning after we talked and decided what to do. He passed away
that night at 11PM. He hid it very well, he was acting very normal up
until his breating was off, the only reason I even suspected something
may be up a day or two before that was he wasn't following his daily
routine. He always came to bed and laid on my chest and stomach sucked
and kneaded my arm and fell asleep, every night for years. he was still
coming to bed and and sucking on my arm, but he would get up after a few
minutes and leave, so I knew something wasn't right, it was a few days
later that his breathing got bad and I took him to the vet. Frankie was
a big cat he weighed 18 pounds and he hadn't lost any weight or
anything, he tried very hard not to worry Mom and fooled me completely,
I'm very over protective now. This was way before I knew aboutt his
list or had a computer. Thank God for the internet and this group!!
