Romeo has gone.
"Flippy" wrote in message
... My sweet, darling Romeo passed away yesterday (tuesday) afternoon at 5:35pm, at the Lort Smith Animal Hospital. Romeo's condition had deteriorated drastically. He had become anaemic and his red blood cell count had dropped from 19% on saturday, to 13% yesterday (tuesday). His chest cavity was filled with fluid and consequently he had great difficulty breathing. To survive even a short time he would have had to have his chest cavity drained of fluid on a daily basis and he would have had to have a blood transfusion immediately. Even with these measures he would not have survived much longer. His illness was probably caused by FIP (although it wasn't confirmed because I wouldn't allow more testing.) After him having been tested, poked, prodded, x-rayed and ultra-sounded for the past three days, I didn't want my sweet Romeo to go through any more pain. I made the decision to let him go with dignity. Mia and I were with him till the end. It was probably the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. (I'm still crying as I write this.) He was my sweet Mamma's Boy, and Mia and I miss him terribly. Rest in Peace my darling boy, I'll love you always. Purrs to all, and please give your kitties each a hug for me. I'm so so sorry, Flippy & Mia. Romeo was a beautiful, affectionate boy, and he will be missed. *Hugs* Yowie |
