You will know when it is time. Listen to her and listen to your
heart. Open it and ask her to talk to you....she will.

BreAnne,
I am sorry, this time must be hard on you. My only advice is that
only you can know when she is ready to go. The signs you have
listed, to me sound like she is getting close but you know her now
and how she was. If she does not seem to be suffering you can give
her time and see if she pulls out of this again. She could very well
be grieving, it is so hard to know. I wish it were as easy as asking
them, but it isn't. Go with your heart, you will make the right
decision.

BreAnne is just short of 2 yoa; spayed. She was the
playmate of ToriRose who succumbed to Fe leukemia
2.2010. BreAnne tested + at that time. Isaac
left 2.2011. I gathered everyone else up and moved
them into my apartment from the country when Isaac
left. BreAnne was/is an assertive female. Isaac
used to terrorize Scrumptious in a major way. BreAnne
and Scrumptious show little mercy for each other.
There are now 6 cats.
Cats are shedding. BreAnne's tail and rear legs look
as if she has a bad case of the fleas. When I flea
comb her she continues to lose a lot of fur. there are
no fleas. there is now no luster in her fur.
Bowel movements look okay.
this past Saturday I continued the follow-up ELISA
testing. The 2 originally negative cats are still
negative and I vaccinated them. I asked the vet to
look at BreAnne. He commented on her ratty, looking
dry coat, said she had a temperature (but that it may have
been due to the long ride up). I have no explanation
about why I didn't ask how high or about starting her on an
antibiotic. We started everyone on Petzlife oral gel
(thank you Natalie) a couple weeks ago. He
said her mouth looked good. BreAnne has been losing
weight, not eating well. I follow her around with the
food and draw her attention to it. She won't eat
anything containing the usual supplements we use. I have
been hydrating some orally and giving some NutriCal.
She has been hanging out under the bathroom sink cabinet in
the darkness.
Easter Sunday I was able to be home all day and let
Scrumptious out (since she is negative).
I guess writing this is about getting ready maybe to let
her go. The cat she is today in no way resembles her
picture of 16 months ago. Stress for her? Her Grieving
the loss of Isaac? She was really, really thin about 9
months ago but came back from it naturally.
will leave it there.
any comments will be appreciated
