Dear
Cherie
You
did what you thought was best for Snowball at the time, and that's all anyone of
us can do. Please, please don't beat yourself up. You deserve better than
that. Be comforted by your good memories of
the little furball. I'm glad you were able to tell your son. (And I think you
were very brave and strong to do it without tears, something I'm no good
at.)
I have
regrets, and had major guilt, about Caramel (my first FeLVkitty death,
at Thanksgiving)---things I didn't realize at the time. But his death has taught
me much about what to do better, what to look out for, what to be alert
to, in a similar situation with any of the other FeLV kitties. I still miss
Caramel like crazy--he was such a vibrant and colorful little soul. I feel I owe
it to him now to look out even more for the siblings and buddies that he left
behind. I guess that's how I'm channeling my guilt and regret. Just wanted to
share. Everyone mourns in different ways, don't they. sending love and hugs your
way,
take
care, Kerry

Regrettfully, I was not thinking straight and I had him creamated before I
could even suggest an autopsy. I did mean the way he past, seems to be a bit odd
as far as I can tell my case is a rare case with the bleeding, so am I sure my
vet did everything she could....NO. Am I sure it was only FeLV...with the help
of this site I would have to again say NO. Am I sure that waiting until Monday
was best, maybe that day could have helped him.....again the answer is NO, I
have major guilt that I can not shake.

No not really..several member on here have found out this very way...that another of their kitties was a dormant carrier and never knew it until another cat they had became sick and died..the WAY he died is a bit odd..but I would lay a guess that there was something else going on as well..be it FeLV related or not.....that is why I suggested an autopsy to be doneIn a message dated 1/8/2005 1:25:08 A.M.
