Sheila:
My prayers are with you and your boy Buck. I know very well what you are going through and how you are berating yourself about Buck. Cats are so adept at hiding their illnesses until it is close to critical. Our boy Keuda never gave us a sign he was blocked until I touched him to pet him and he was burning with fever and staggered to the litter box. We too were grieving from two losses of our older FeLV babies only days apart. We like to think we are good cat moms and are always aware of what is happening with our babies, but sometimes as we are only human, we get consumed by something else (and the loss of a furchild is truly a great family loss). Don't spend time berating yourself, channel that energy into prayers and healing light for your baby.
Sending prayers and healing thoughts.

Hi Guys, I hope you all will pray for my boy Buck who is at the Vets tonight in critical condition. Buck is brother to Spanky who I lost suddenly last week. He is suffering from another blockage and this time the Doctor doesn't give much hope for recovery. Buck and Spanky were both felv + since kittens, but you would never know it to look at them. He is a 20lb sweet baby. Monday he started to mope around and stopped eating. I thought he was missing his brother. They were always together playing or sleeping, just like twins one always seemed to know what the other was thinking. I didn't realize he was sick, he hid it well. The vets around here close all day Wed so I couldn't get him to a doc until this morning. So now he may die because I didn't get him to a doctor sooner. I haven't had the chance to get over losing Spanky and now I may lose him too. I think that is why I didn't spot his illness. I guess maybe he wants to be with his brother but if he leaves me it will break my heart. Thanks for listening and please send good thoughts his way. Sheila
