Re: Another one?


Awww bless you Farthing for taking in this old chap.

Do you think the fluid could be in relation to heart failure (I know of two people who have had large amounts of fluid build up in their body (around their tummys) due to heart failure - they are both now ok - one having a heart transplant. Perhaps it is the same for cats? What happens it that the heart starts to fail and the rest of the organs start shutting down and you get a build up of fluid.

Well done Farthing, you are an angel. Lucky Donald to be spending whatever time he has left in your caring hands.

Re: Another one?


So glad he is coming home with you, he sounds like he's already taken a liking to you, was meant to be.
Can't wait till you get him home and we can hear all about him

Re: Another one?


You are so strong to be able to do this for Donald. I must admit to feeling very upset just reading this thread.
I hope he manages to have plenty of time with you.
