Dear Nina We all do the best we can for our little souls, in whatever circumstances we find ourselves. For what it's worth I decided after I lost Flavia that I would never put another positive through a transfusion. It gave her 10 days, that was it. It put her through tremendous stress. And it cost money that I didn't have at that time. But I guess I had to do it to learn from it. I know that whatever decision you make for your beloved Spencer, it will be the right one, Nina. big hugs, Kerry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nina Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 12:25 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: Need prayers for my Spencer please
No sweetie, I was talking about my feral boy, Simon. The Siamese that I ended up helping cross with a touch of Valium. Do you remember him? I would do almost anything if I thought it would make Spence "all better", or even if I thought it would make him feel better temporarily. I know you've said that your combo shots have done that. I know that Simon had some wonderful days with you, but I don't know if I am willing to put Spence through what it might take to extend his life, if that extension would only be for weeks or even months. And then there's the money factor... I just don't know... N [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Nina, I am so sorry. But were you referring to my Simon? If so, he did > not have kidney failure.
