I'm so sorry to hear your sad news, Denise. But I'm glad Rose knew what it was to have a real, loving home, and was loved, cared for and comforted right until the end. You could check back to your November 1 (or 1st of any month) emails, when details of how you individually unsubscribe, with your passport, are sent.

This summer, we adopted our Rose from a Humane Society board member who had her at his house in a cage with his other rescued cats. Rose couldn't go to PetSmart cuz she was "unadoptable" due to chronic boogers, yet she was super friendly and my kids, my dog, and I just loved her to bits. After she didn't get better on meds, I took her to the vet for THE test, and sure enough it was positive. Then, I joined this list to learn from you all. Rose had a great, but brief, relatively healthy life for the rest of her time, but then she went down hill quickly. Thanks to your posts, and the vet's food and advice, I syringe-fed her AD and H2O for a few days after the vet rehydrated her subQ. Rose seemed happy again for a little while, but her overly-dilated eye never went back to normal, so the vet thought that the leukemia had affected her neurologically. He was probably right, cuz by Friday, she was suffering, so I took Rose to be put to sleep. They couldn't find a vain on her, so they gave her an injection interthoracically. She lingered for a few moments in my arms as my dog and I snuggled with her until she passed. Thanks again for all your posts. I didn't post much myself, but I was comforted by this group every day. Now, if you will, please unsubscribe me until I can rejoin later to offer hope and encouragement to others after I'm done mourning.
