Angela, Yes,in my opinion, I think that you did the right thing and gave him the last gift, which is a kind death.
Felv+ is an odd disease, there are so many ways it can kill. I have seem cats get very ill, but linger, then I have seen them "bottom out" like your kitty did, within days. Stress can bring out the disease very easily, and the stress of packing & moving could have contributed to his demise. Cats HATE change. Period. But DO NOT blame yourself, you did not know he was ill and regardless,life has to go on (moving, etc.). Susan J.

He went down hill very fast. He was fine last Thursday, then Friday we moved, I thought he just was scared. I left him alone on Friday and really started to watch him Saturday and Sunday, Monday he went to the vet. He slept most of the weekend, literally, then last night he was just lifeless. He didn't get up, he laid where ever I put him. I would walk him to the litter box, he would go then lay right outside the box, he didnt' have the strength to walk. (By the time I got home last nght, he was laying on the coffee table, I had given him some amoxacillian, I thought he was getting close to the edge, so I scooted him toward the middle of the table and when I did, there was poop balls by this tail. It was almost like he released himself and didn't know it! When we got him to the vet he just laid, then once he did get up to walk, he acted like he was walking side ways and couldn't support himself. It was just aweful!!! I then just held him and loved him all I could. His quality of life was not good on Monday. It sickened me to look at the unhappiness on his face. His gums were almost a white/yellow color, he was dehydrated, just bad off. There was no way to get him back, I don't think. Did I do the right thing by PTS? Ang
