Kelley My sadness is profound for your loss. My Zander – he of the wondrous response to Winstrol – also finally succumbed at age 7 to a very bad heart. The vet said she had never seen anything so bad, and yet there were no indications of any heart problem for the whole time. My first thought –

Kelley, - You did NOT fail him. Heart disease is not easily detected and cats are very good at hiding their pain and illness. I had a FelV cat who just suddenly died at age 6 and she showed no symtoms of illness, she simply laid down and died on the kitchen floor. This is the longest any of my

Kelley, I am so, so sorry to hear about Merlin. Thanks for doing your best and taking care of him as you did. Sometimes love just isn't enough to keep them here, and they have to move on to the next realm. Out of our sight and hearing, but never disconnected from our hearts. Soft headbonks

I am so sorry for you and Merlin. I have been there far too many times and it never gets easier Do not punish yourself too much. We try to do our best and with every loss, we learn and future cats benefit. You did the best you knew with the knowledge you had and most of all, you loved him
