My poor Ziggy!

[Laura Bond]

Poor Ziggy! About 6 months ago I told all of you that Ziggy's second feline 
leukemia test came back negative and he was ok and cured.  Well I was wrong. 
 He was losing weight and just not acting like himself (he was hiding and 
not playing with the other kitties).  So i took him to the vet last night 
for an emergency appointment.  They restested him and he was positive.  On 
top of that he has an ear infection and his blood work came back really low. 
 His red cell count was horrible.  So  they kept him over night and ran 
tests.  They put an IV in and gave him a blood tansfusion.  Today they are 
going to do a bone marrow aspiration to see if his bone marrow is producing 
and blood cells.  So the vet said that the long term prognosis is poor at 
best but i'm hoping he can make it through this to come home for a bit. So I 
should be writing back soon to keep you updated on Ziggy's condition.  Thank 
you,
Laura
