A little better... Not crying as much. I keep replaying things i did and the emergency vet conversation in my head...trying to see what i may hsve missed.. I cant go in that room so my mom is gping to clean it for me.. I get so sad when i go near it and also when i look at the deck and think...

Thank you for your kind words..It means a lot to me. I feel like the child who brings home the bug and puts it in a jar only to have it die. I hope he knew I cared for him. Getting him in to the carrier was not pleasant and I hope he knew I was trying to save him. I honestly thought he just...

I hope you are right and he knew I cared for him because right now I feel like I caused him stress and pain by bringing him inside.....and that is why he had the decline. I feel a tremendous sense of guilt and cannot go into that room or look at the carrier. I truly hope you are...

Last night was a horrible, horrible night.  I found blood in his urine and rushed him to the after care vet where they found that his bladder was very lumpy and bumpy and extremely distended. They think he had either a huge tumor or something was very very wrong a UTI was the least of it.  He...

I hope so....today I called a vet who works a lot with ferals after seeing some dried dark blood on the carpet.  He was laying outside the bed frame slowly smacking his tail against the carpet so he looked relaxed but then I found some quarter size or smaller things of blood.  I gently tried to...

Success!!! He used the litter box last night! whoop whoop! And....his eye is clearing up which is a fantastic thing and may mean he does not have the herpes!!  They said the antibiotic shot he was given for his head would have cleared up anything that is not herpes related and the shot lasts for...

That is hilarious!! I am dying laughin about your description of Marvin's activities-I can picture it in my head.  I am going to talk with my vet that I take my dogs to and also do some research on the Herpes and FIV... there are def diff opinions on the subject. The cat being brushed after 8...

I like the name Marvin!! Thats a GREAT name. I spoke to another vet that deals with ferals and they think my orange kitty has herpes..... That is why eye is drain etc and it is highly contagious and flare ups happen.. Ugghhhhh!so he may be a bedroom kitty..forever. No cure for it... Poor cat.

No name yet.  Thank you for sharing your story.....Euthanasia is a very hard decision to make but it sounds like you made the right decision for that animal.  Loving animals and knowing the right thing to do is a challenge.  I am terrible at coming up with names.  Our cats now are: Delilah...

Oh I will not be putting him back outside.  I just meant that would have been the worst case scenario if I had known how serious the FIV status is..  As far as socializing,I will just have to wait things out to see how it goes.  I will not jeopardize my other cats health and would have to be...

It is so interesting to me that the clinic vet and techc etc are the ones who pointed out his runny eye but I am not understanding why they did not think to treat it as it might be related to his FIV status.  I will be calling them but I think we are getting into a groove right now and taking...

I hope I am doing right thing..did i mention he is fiv positive? Yes learned that when i went to pick him up. I asked numerous times and in various ways about stress and fiv as well as him co existing with other cats and risk to My cats. The clinic made it sound like no big deal that it would...

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Yes I see now he has been peeing...peeing and laying in it.....right next to the food dish.  Whole room smells now so I am not so worried about him peeing.  I cleaned up some and did the paper towel buried in the litter box thing.... going to try moving the...

So he still appears to have his whiskers so who knows what that was...drinking a ton of water and eating some but still no sign of pee/poop.  I have put leaves in one litter box with the Cat Attract and soil in the other with Cat Attract. I think I thought he would be more inquisitive or moving...

I saw what appeared to be whiskers near him and even after drinking a lot today, i still dont see any pee anywhere. Going to add some dirt but REALLY starting to get worried

and your cat is REALLY cute!Especially watching the tv with kittens on it :)

Yes...I am in Cincinnati area.  He does not seem to be moving around too much and the conference call was me with headphones in just responding...I am worried about the neutering thing and the blood and the not peeing.  I think he was so scared today he peed on the carpet.  I have to replace it...

Thank you for checking up on us!  It is much appreciated!  I did not get him out from under the bed but he has come out to eat at least 2x since wed.  The water was gone this am and I relieved as I was concerned about dehydration.  he has only pooped once and that was on carpet (so much for cat...

Ok thanks for advice. Its a heavy wooden frame that site flush with floor.. Except for the one end. I threw a tarp over whole thing and weighted ends down with patio pavers to block that end. Guess that doesnt work. Sigh. Now i know. Will just have to wait it out

Well he's home but i meesed up and although i thought i had every possible way under the bed blocked... He found a way.. Now what do i do? Just wait for him to come out?
