Tad,
Your heart barely has time to heal before you end up saying goodbye to
yet another of your sweet babies. I don't remember hearing about Leo,
could you tell us something more about him? You are such a blessings to
your babies. Knowing of people like you and Marie, folks that
understand these sweet angels, and give them the type of life they
deserve, is an inspiration to us all. Little Leo enjoyed his life as
much as he did because he had a human that cares enough to pay attention
and communicate with his felines on their own terms. You're as close to
cat in human form as they come and I'm sure your babies appreciate it.
Bless it Tad, I'm so sorry. It helps just a little to know he enjoyed
life as much as he could right up to the end. It never gets easier, no
matter how many times we go through it.
You are so generous to write to me about my troubles with Spencer while
you're suffering with your own stress and grief. I'll ask my vet about
the pill, I'm guessing it must be some sort of diuretic. Blessings to
you and Marie. You guys go through so much, what would the kitties do
without you? Thank you once again for all you do for so many.

I have had 2 FeLV+ cats that have had fluid on the lungs
and that makes breathing very difficult for them... One xray
can show the space around the lungs that indicates the fluid
filling the cavity and making it hard to breath in...
A pill to absorb that fluid does relieve the breathing in only
a couple hours...
The fluid is most likely there because of a cancer somewhere
though and the pill won't fix that... But it can give a few weeks
of quality life...
I am having a hard time to write this because I just lost my
Little Leo a couple hours ago but it did help him and although
he has been getting weaker and weaker for a while he did seem
to be able to enjoy the things and places that he liked right up to the
end....
