Lost my beloved pet today..


by: Rhonda on Fri, Jan 04 2008

My cat Milo was 7 years old. He has been through about 7 moves with me and has always been my comfort when I was sad. I started noticing him getting thinner and acting lethargic. I took him to the vet to find out he had leukemia. My vet’s advice was to put him to sleep, which I followed.

Only now I have started to research the disease more and find out that he may have been able to be treated and stayed with me a few more years. My guilt is over whelming. I called my vet a few hours after I learned this info hoping that they may not have put him to sleep yet. It was too late.

I wanted nothing more than to go back and get him and bring him home with me if only to comfort myself. I have never lost a pet before and had no idea this much pain would be involved. Anyone else going through this, please do research before putting your pet to sleep. There may be options.
