Oh Beth! I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear this news. I have
been thinking about you and Stamp and hoping that no news was good
news. I don't even know what to say. All I want to do is shake my fist
and curse at the sky. I guess I should have waited until I was more
composed to respond. So much sadness and pain. I'm so sorry,
Nina

I am so sorry to hear about Slinky and Belinda's Fred.
I have an FeLV foster kitty named Stamp, who had started to get sick.
He went to the vet and they said to bring him back in a week or so.His
belly has been getting big, and I can feel the bones in his back
although he eats fine. They could not get fluid from his belly last
week. He now mostly lays totally stretched out, because I think his
belly bothers him.
Well I took him in today, and his HCT, which was 28 a week and a half
ago is now 20. His temp was 104, last week 103.5. He just finish 10
days of Zenequin. The vet put him on Doxy and 5mg Pred every day.
They said his protein level was high and they fear it is FIP. He is
supposed to go back to the vet Friday, but I fear he will not last
that long.
It seems there has been so much loss here lately. I have not lost a
kitty in about 2 years.
I am a huge Nanci Griffith fan, and she has a song that says " I
cannot find a place to put this love away". That's the way I feel
right now.
I talked to the shelter director today and we agreed that it was a
miracle for her to find him, and for me to love him. He was only
destined to have a short time, and he got to spend it in happily.
I desperately need to go home and do yard work, but I am going to go
to the store, get him some roast beef, and cuddle with Stamp. If the
neighbors don't like my weeds, the hell with them.
