I'm so sorry for your losses. Deciding when to end our loved ones
suffering is always the toughest decision in the world. No matter what
we do, there are always the what if questions that plague our memories.
Tad is right, these cats do all seem to have an extra loving zest for
life. I don't know if thats because of their condition, or because of
the people who adopt them. Certainly those of us with the courage to
love these seemingly doomed angels foster an atmosphere of caring that
brings out the best in those we touch. My mantra has become, "All I can
do, is all I can do". Sometimes it even brings me comfort. It's
especially hard when we take in "ferals" that won't allow us to
administer to them. We have to be content in knowing how much better
their lives are than if they'd never crossed our path.
One other thing that I'd like to mention. Kerry mentioned that Clavomox
was prescribed. My little Grace has "crashed" and recovered twice now.
The first time, she was put on two doses of Clavomox. It would help
temporarily, and then she would succumb again. I started giving her
Doxycycline and it's made a tremendous difference. What ever bacteria
is attaching her system, (the tests didn't tell us), responds much more
effectively to the Dox and I credit it with saving her life twice.
She's now on both Dox and Virbagen, and I'm praying that the combination
will help her beat the odds.
We all know what you're going through, and we are suffering your loss
with you. Thank you for knowing how to love unconditionally.
Much Love,
Nina
