April, The pain and grief is horrible. We lost our Denzel 13 days ago, and I still choke up terribly when someone asks about him. I get through it in two ways. First, my five other housecats and my feral colony still need me, and they have been extra affectionate since Denzel passed.

April, Did the vet put him on a 3 week round of doxycycline for possilbe hemobartanella?  Even if he has hemobart, it might not show up on a slide because of the nature of the parasites (sometimes they show up, sometimes they don't...weird).  Hemobart will cause anemia (low blood count).  At
