I'll let others address your specific questions but I'll put my two
cents worth in. Look at homeopathic/alternative/complemtary vets,
especially if conventional vets are not meeting your needs. Enjoy the
time you have together. If you spend it thinking about the possible
future you will miss the wonderful present.......and the future may or
may not be as you imagine it. We all start dying the minute we are
born. We fear death but our friends do not. They live in the minute
and that is what you need to do too. I had a perfectly wonderful and
apparently very healthy cat leave this world with cancer. My little
FeLV + girl has been with me 3 wonderful years and is apparently
perfectly healthy. We never know what will take us from this world or
when. Please spend wonderful time with BooBoo.....time enjoying him
and listening to him. Tell him of your fears if that will help you
verbalize them and deal with them.
Good luck and all the blessings of all the universes to you and Boo.
Don't waste the present.

I'm sorry for not being knowledgeable of this, but what is CLS and
the bridge you folks refer to?
I've been busy trying to find some ray of hope for my BooBoo. I
showed his blood work to the doc next door at work, who is a dog
lover, not a cat but he interpreted it as being pretty bad. He said
he has no platelets. He then got on the phone to a Vet friend who
takes care of his dogs and gave him a brief history of Boo and his
blood work. The vet said there was nothing I could do about the
situation and that most cats after being diagnosed lived for 2 years
at a max. I don't even know when BooBoo contracted the disease so
who knows how long he has. This vet though kept saying, it doesn't
mean he's going to die, whatever the H that means. I also have a
pharmacist friend who is meeting with a vet friend of his in Detroit
tomorrow and he too is running Boo's history by him to see if there
is anything at all to help him. Apparently Immuno Regulin is not
available here in Canada so he's going to talk to this man about it
tomorrow. People have been very kind and honest but I just am
finding this impossible to accept. I can't wait to get home from
work to see him and almost start bawling when I am with him. I
totally hate this. I just hope he isn't feeling any pain. He
mostly sleeps but does purr a lot and seems to love having us around
him. I just don't know what else to do.
