Tracy, So sorry to hear of your losses. It's never easy. At least they are happy now even if a part of you is lost each time you lose one. What a trooper you have at home! He must be the Bruce Willis of the bunch!

She was beginning to have difficulty breathing due to severe anemia. I tried a transfusion (only raised the RBC from 6% to 10%) and Epogen, but.... today my vet and I could see that she was becoming more and more uncomfortable and she was extremely pale, I swore that I would not wait until it was too late, I'd rather be a day or so too early. We had a nice three weeks, but today, I could tell the light had gone out in her eyes. Just last month Sylvester died at home and a few months before that, another FeLV+ cat, Herbie, had to be PTS. Funny, I have a negative cat (that is 12) with stomach cancer and have been treating him for more than 18 months (he probably had it at least a year before). He has not gone into remission, and we have done EVERY chemo protocol out there, but it has stopped growing and he is like the energizer bunny ... he keeps going and going and going. I really expected him to go long before the other three............ regardless, I miss them all. Tracy
