Bobby has been behaving strangely this past week. He hasn't been as active as he usually is, and he's been unusually sleepy. Today I kept checking on him because I just felt something was weird. His breathing seemed very very odd. So I called the vet's emergency number, and I was lucky enough that he hadn't gone out of town for the holiday yet. My

Whatever it is, I hope Bobby hangs on for his life.

<3 to the cat person for both words and ability to relate [lost countless kittens for various ways... ]

If my Uncle Bill was still alive, I'd call him and ask him what he'd do.. he was a ferret owner himself.

But much agreement with Talvin.. poor Bobby.. But try not to give up hope.

Our Cat Dipper was given six months to a year to live because her kidneys were just giving out from Ebola [still not sure how that happened..]. It got to a point where one kidney was totally gone and the other one was half dead. The vet told my mom to feed her a special diet of this stuff that seriously made me wanna go retch whenever I saw it and to give her a pill twice a day. The cat wouldn' eat the expensive stenchy food, but eventually came to beg for the pill. Quite seriously, she would shadow us around the house and hop up on her counter if we went near it, looking at us expectantly until we gave her her pill.

I'm sorry, Star. I know how that feels. When I took my dog Harvey to the vet, and heard of all his ailments, I was just broken up inside. We had no idea. He passed 2 weeks later, at 7 1/2 years old, an old age for big breed dogs. I just want you to know that I hope that doesn't happen to Bobby. Just stick in there girl. Be strong, I know you are.

I'm sorry you're having to go through this. I know it isn't easy

Oh, Starline! : hugs: I know what you are going though. My bunny, Dewy, went through some old bubbie problems :( They get icky urin infections and he got one (he was 6...7 years old. THAT'S an old rabbit. : nods: ) I really hope all goes well. If it's any consolation, it's better to put them down, hurt for a while, than to have them suffer. : hugs: I really hope you do allright. Give my best to Bobby.
