Sheila,
I'm sorry Charlie Brown is so weak. From what you say about your
relationship with him, I'm sure you know what is best. It sounds like
he is fighting hard, I'm praying that he somehow is able to bounce back
to health this time like he has in the past. The fact that he is still
eating must give you some encouragement. Do you think he had a stroke?
It seems to have come on so suddenly. Are you positive that there is
nothing a vet could do for him?
If I were you, I'd start calling around to see if you could find a vet
that makes house calls, just in case you begin to feel he has changed
his mind and would like help crossing. If the time comes when you are
sure that he won't recover, that he is suffering needlessly, then having
him helped to cross in the safety and love of his home might be a
blessing for him. It's such a personal call, one that has to be judged
each time we are faced with it, moment by moment. Listen to your heart,
listen to Charlie. If he changes his mind, you'll know.
Blessings to you both,
Nina

Please allow Charlie Brown to leave this world the way he wants to.
It is so very difficult. I did it with the Royal Princess Kitty Katt
and have never regretted it. He loves you so very much. Make sure
and tell him it is ok to leave when he is ready and that you will be
ok-----that he will still be with you in another, healthy form and
that, if he wants to, he can come back as another cat.
Blessings and peace to both of you.
If you have men who
will exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise
with their fellow man.

Oh Sheila - this has to be so hard. I wish there was something
your vet could do. Charlie Brown is lucky to have a mom who loves
him so much.

My Charlie Brown is leaving me. This wonderful old man has
been with me for fifteen years. I've never had a sweeter or
smarter cat in my life. He was diagnosed with felv four years
ago. The doctor said he was very sick and he wouldn't make it
another week and wanted to put him down, He wouldn't even give
me antibiotics to try and help his respiratory infection. I
brought him home gave him amoxi drops I had from another
kitties uri bout, food and water and round the clock love and
care. He started to improve right away and had been healthy
and happy for four more years. Two days ago I woke to find him
unable to walk. I thought he wouldn't make it through the
morning, but he is still here. I know in my heart that he does
not want to be put down in a doctors office he is fighting so
hard to stay, as sick as he is he still tries to crawl to food
plate. He doesn't want me to syringe feed him, he wants me to
hold him over his plate so he can eat own his own. He is the
toughest little guy I have ever known and I am so grateful for
the last four years we have had together. Please pray for us
both. Sheila
