Last night, I was pretty much resigned to letting Olive pass. Not happily
resigned, now, for I cried for hours and then couldn't sleep. I had actually
typed up a huge email about my reasoning a few minutes ago, but I just got off
the phone with my vet, and now I'm once

I feel for you right now, and I'm sending positive thoughts, prayers, vibes,
your way. I hope that you are able to find the right solution for you and
Olive. I'm not really sure what to advise you. As for the bill, I'm not sure
what your financial situation is, but you could check out the
Right, I don't understand the $2000 either?
The ONLY time I was ever quoted only a possibility of spending $2000 or so on Monkee's care was for chemotherapy- by Dr. Dailey at Metro Vet Specialists. And that makes sense-- I mean, it's chemo. And we were supposed to be going once a week at$200-300

Well, the new little girl tested negative! Yea! But, now my post is off

she's okay. I haven't figured out her name yet. My new vet is awesome and

Hey Megan,
Make sure you do research on the doxy shot. The protocol for hemobaronella is
3 weeks of consecutive treatment with pills (not sure of the dosage). How long
will a doxy shot last? I would pill her instead, especially if your vet
doesn't know much about hemobart. I've never heard
That is 1/4 of a cat. Trust me. :)))
Get some Feliway Spray (not the plug in) and use it to help calm the little
one.
Grab some Rescue Remedy and put some in her water and take some yourself. This
will help calm both of you.
Provide her with a safe, small place to hide.

Hi Megan,
Everyday I get on the computer. I first look to see how Olive is doing. I so
want her to have some good quality time with you. There are others on this
group that may be more experienced with this disease than I, but I wound up
on a very fast learning curve with one cat initially dying

Yes, unfortunately kittens @ 12 weeks count as cats.
My boyfriend has the rule Every set of pointy ears is this house is
considered a cat, regardless if it lives under the bed..
Yes,folks, I even asked But what if we never SEE the cat, it lives under the
bed, couch, etc
No luck.

I talked to Dr.Smith today about my Pappy, he wants me to bring him for a
thorough exam ASAP.
He says that the thing w/felv+cats, you have to watch them very carefully,more
so than other cats, of course, because cats are so good about hiding their
medical problems.

Very funny! :-) I hope my husband sees it as funny as well! We always have a
chuckle over the growing number of kitties but not after a lot of grief in
the meantime! I know he's going to be frustrated-as am I since our house is
too small for more cats, but a kitten is so tiny, it surely won't take
Hi, Wendy -
Mandy and I visited Keith (my vet and best guy friend) today. He said that
Mandy's right eye is just the same--no improvement but no worse either. The
left eye shows some improvement, albeit VERY small--so we're keeping up the
drops in that eye for another 4 weeks.

Megan, I'm sorry that I can't help you! I understand your pain and
frustration. It's a horrible place to be in when you don't know which way to
go. Yes, ignorance is bliss, but you will benefit from this down the road
even though it seems more appealing to be in the dark. You'll be a stronger,
Susan,
You helped me thru a hard time with Midnight aka Boy about a week and a

question Boy's Leukemia showed it's ugly face because of our move to the
new house (stress on him). Although I have had Sherman and

I'm not Susan, but I agree that you should help the kitties stay stress-free

stressed out with that many people in the house.

I don't know anything yet about T-Cyte, just that Sheila seemed to think it was
doing her cats some good.
I didn't get to talk to Dr. Smith very much this morning, just about Pappy
heartworms.
He was really busy and I was pressed for time.

Hi Angela,
Wendy is correct, just make sure kitties have somewhere to hide (maybe your
bedroom?) and that you visit w/them
a lot to pet them, reassure them tell them that you love them.

Oh, Megan, it is so hard to know what to do! I'm praying (and so are
my kitties) for you, the doctors and little Olive, too, to be able to
make the right decision for her. Sleeping on it really does work and
may somehow clear your head for the decisions you all have to make.
Please have
Unfortunately, I had to resort to PTS. It was probably the toughest decision
of my life--or at least, the second toughest, the first being to decide to let
Olive go in the first place. I spent most of the day yesterday and today with
her, and it was miserable watching her fade away. My roommate
I am so sorry..I was watching these threads to see how things went
with Olive bec. I am dealing something similar right now. But the fact
that you struggled and finally arrived at PTS simply says that you cared
enough to make the best decision and sometimes PTS is the best choice.
Olive
Olive was a beautiful little cat! The baby picture is great. Remember her
like that.
Megan, I'm so sorry. She's beautiful and your love for her has come through
all of your message loud and clear. GLOW to light her path and ease your heart.
