Susan,
I am so very sorry you lost your sweet baby...It had
to be very hard going through this whole sad process.
You were doing all you could and probably there was no
way to make things better for him. We have so much yet
to learn.
I experienced, for the first time, something like this
about a month ago, where someone had found a homeless
kitten with terrible eye discharge...Upon cleaning
this kitten's eyes, I realized both his eyes had
ruptured. It is the most helpless feeling in the
world when you realize there is nothing you can do to
make their quality of life worth living...The kitten I
was trying to help, I believe, had distemper? I never
knew such things could happen with the eyes...Maybe
someone here can comment on this...
You did a wonderful job with your Jingles, having had
him for 5-years! He certainly was happy and loved. It
is just too bad for you, that you had to go through
all this the way you did...Bless your heart!
Glenda
