    Just took her temp and it was 101 (right in the normal range). Of course she's still on temp lowering meds, but it's been almost 10 hours since she had the pill so at least things are looking up.

    It's all over. :(

    She started having really bad seizures last night so we had her put down.

    At least she got to experience a good life while she was with us. I'm sure it was better than what she had before and probably better than what she would have had if we hadn't adopted her.

    It's too cold for us to burry her (we're getting freezing rain right now) so we let them keep her and we'll plant something really nice by Chester's rose and Lizzy's silver mound in the spring.

    Now we're going to keep a really close eye on Ten and make sure she doesn't get sick (she's still perfectly fine, though). In a few months we'll test her again because sometimes they can fight the leukemia virus off. And in a couple weeks, Romeo & Emily have an appointment to get their 2nd shots and we'll have them tested again just to be sure they're really negative.

    I'm really sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with Tennessee and Romeo and Emily right now - wishing them all good health.

    I'm so sorry. :cry:

    She had a good home for her short life.

    I hope the other cats remain ok.

    Thanks. We're going to go ahead and have Ten re-tested in a few weeks and see if she's beat it and is negative (it is possible).

    If she tests negative, we'll have her tested one more time after a few weeks (to double check). If she's still negative, we'll probably look into adopting another kitten/cat (the house seems really empty with just 3 cats). If/when we do, it's getting tested & vaccinated ASAP.

    If Ten still tests positive, we might check with rescue organizations and try to find another FeLV+ cat that is otherwise healthy (I know some people will get rid of their cats just because they test positive, whether they're really sick or not). We figure that Emily & Romeo have been exposed for 3 months and are negative and are vaccinated, so they're pretty safe and Ten already has it so introducing another positive cat shouldn't be a problem. We just don't want to introduce another negative cat if Ten is positive.
