I'm so
sorry to hear about Lola, Allie. I'm glad, though, that she was lucky enough to
find you.
I
agree, what better tribute to the sweet soul than to save the
life of another. I think it's wonderful that you're able to transcend your grief
and remember all the other needy furballs out there. So many folks I know/hear
of whose kitty passed away say they won't get another one. I think that is so
sad.
Hugs
to you and Lola.
take
care, Kerry

Well, I took Lola in to get re-evaluated, regarless
of the fact that she has been going downhill fast. The results of the second
test and bloodpanel were not nice, especially with her emerging symptoms. The
fluid in her chest is continuing to accumulate, she stopped eating (Ive been
syringe feeding her a high-cal prescription diet), she is very anemic and very
jaundiced. Her breathing has become very labored and she isn't really moving
around much. After discussions with 2 vets and quite a few other sources of
research (including this list), we've decided to help her over the bridge after
we've had a chance to say goodbye. She has too many things off in her bloodwork,
her red blood cells appear to be committing suicide, kidney enzymes are
elevated, despite my efforts (pedialyte) to keep her hydrated and her liver
enzymes are high despite my efforts to keep her fed (Hill's a/d). She is so
weak, and since she is a just a kitten, who was born with the disease, it looks
highly unlikely that aggressive treatment would do anything except buy her a
little time. I think I'm at peace with my decision. I had plans to take a foster
in this weekend, which I think I'll go through with since it will give me
something to do and a place to direct all of my love. Plus, what better tribute
to Lola than to save the life of another cat in need? I've requested that the
foster be vaccinated against FeLV this once, just to be extra
careful.From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Allie Deaver
