GLOW for you and mylo. sometimes doing all that is medically possible is NOT the correct choice for the cat, tho it may be what seems right for us. i always ask the critter--and when they make it clear that they no longer want to be treated, and fight assisted feeding and fluids, i have to respect that, because as much as i don't want them to be gone, i do not want to force them to stay beyond their time to meet my needs.
they have a much keener sense of the cycles of life than we do, and i have learned so much from sharing their journeys. MC On 1/29/07, Chris Ramzy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Thanks for your thoughts. Yes, I've heard of assisted feeding and injections etc. Mylo needs so much more than that...chemo, blood transfusion, meds, ultrasounds, etc. Yet, he will probably only live 4 more months if successful. I feel that would be putting him through more stress. He hangs on to me whenever we go to the vet. To hospitalize him again and put him back on meds (he hated that), would break my heart. >From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org >To: <felvtalk@felineleukemia.org> >Subject: Re: Chris and Mylo >Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2007 21:22:54 -0500 > >Peace to both Mylo and you Chris, I will be sending peaceful thoughts of >passage and >happiness to Mylo! > >Phaewryn > >You are aware that you can assist/force feed, right, or even have a feeding >tube >inserted?
