-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tad Burnett Sent: Monday, September 04, 2006 7:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Toxoplasmosis - Spencer 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....
