Nanki-Poo is gone. I still can't believe it. He came into my life on
November 10, 2004. I took him to the vet this afternoon. His sores were
healing, and I was hoping I could soon let him go outdoors. I noticed he
was breathing hard when I took him out of the carrier at the vet's. So
did the vet's assistant. He was very anemic and had fluid in his chest.
She gave him oxygen, but said he'd need a transfusion, to have the fluid
aspirated, and various other things, and it probably wouldn't save him
anyway. She said his heart was greatly enlarged, and he was in heart
failure. It tore me apart, but I made the only decision possible. The
poor little guy went through so much, but at least he was loved for the
last 3 ½ years of his life. I can't write any more now.


Joy, I am so sorry to read this. I don't get on much any more, but I saw
this and had to post my condolences. ((((hugs))))


Thank you, Karen.
