I am afraid I am on the verge of losing my loved and adored kitty, Cole. I have
had him for 6 1/2 years and we have had our ups and downs with some illnesses
but nothing a little TLC and medicine couldn't handle. I got Cole when he was 5
months old from the Humane Society and about a week after adopting him I found
out he was feline leukemia positive. The Humane Society said they would take
him back and give me a "new" kitty. By that point my heart was completely in
love with him and there was no turning back, I had to meet this challenge with
strength and do all I had to take care of him. Up until this point I knew that
he would make it through all of the colds, pneumonia's, gastro-intestinal
issues, but now I am not sure anymore. He is not acting like he would normally
when he is sick..no sneezing, coughing, breathing difficulties, or diarrhea. He
just lays around all the time, doesnt seem to be eating much or drinking much.
Wet food doesnt even make him happy! I have noticed that he is losing weight as
well. I have an appointment with the vet today to get him checked out but I am
scared that this will just be the beginning of the end. I am unsure of how far
to let him go. I don't know if I should keep treating everything or if I should
give up? The last thing I would ever want to do is prolong his life and make
him suffer more just so I could have more time with him. Does anyone have any
words of advice? I am new to this posting and I am afraid of losing one of the
most important things in my life and I am not sure how to even go about dealing
with any of it! Kim
