Oh Alice I am so sad to hear this news. You have loved Rosie and her pal
Murphy and done all you could and more. My heart aches for your loss.
Prayers for little Rosie's journey, and for your strength. Thank you for
your love and compassion for these beings who otherwise would suffer so much
more.
Peace to you.
~Bonnie

Rosie passed last night, I could not bear to watch her wasting away. The
Lymphoma had
beat her. We had her on Pred and Leukeran-which shrank the mass near her
throat
the
first week, then it came back with a vengeance the next week. We increased
it to
every
other day on the Leukeran to no avail. She was also on Lasix, Lysine,
iron, b
vitamins,
Interferon. She always came into the kitchen and waited for me to give her
the
meds,
but the last few days she began to clamp her jaw, like enough. She was
being
syringe fed,
she couldn't eat-the mass in her neck got so large and hard. Her eyes
became
empty and
she just wanted to hide, she was miserable. When I came home from work
last
night, I
knew it was time. Thank you to the wonderful vets and staff at Sacramento
Cat
Hospital
for staying late so we could help Rosie join her man, Murphy at the
bridge-he
passed in
October from Lymphoma and anemia. Rosie is our 6th and last FeLV kitty-her
4
brothers
passed in their first year from anemia, despite all our efforts. I have
never
felt so defeated
and empty in my life. I did not have a clue about FeLV when we rescued the
feral
babies.
It has been a long and sad 2 years, Rosie and Murphy each just made it to
2 1/2
yrs old.
Bless all of you fighting this battle-it is a long, and difficult journey,
but
these babies deserve
all the love in the world. Alice with Miso and Sachi-the 2 negatives we
adopted
when Rosie
got so depressed when she was left alone after Murphy passed.
