Tooter
by: Chyrel on Thu, Feb 14 2008

My 1 year old female bengal tabby has been sick off and on for months. Two weeks ago I noticed that she had quit coming to check on me when I got up during the night.

I took her to one vet and he said that she had a chronic illness and that we were fighting a losing battle in keeping her well.
This week(2-11) I took her to another vet. Bloodwork was done and she was diagnosed with leukemia.

I have to give her 3 tablets a day. She doesn’t trust me now. When I pick her up, she thinks I am going to dose her and she wants to get away from me.

She has trouble breathing and eats very little. I feel sad that she will not be able to grow old and fat with me. And I feel responsible for her being sick. I wish that I had been more informed on this disease and maybe I could have helped her be healthy. But I wasn’t.

She is a loving and caring cat who only longs to go outside and play with the other cats. Please vaccinate your cat before you loose her at a young age.
