I just found your site yesterday. My 2 year old black cat Spot was diagnosed on Wednesday with Chyle (pronounced Kile). Her prognosis was grim. She crossed the bridge that day. We buried her with all her other housemates behind the barn. She has a son, Beeba, who keeps calling for her. We are all so broken hearted. Has anyone ever dealt with this disease.? I have done some research on the net and have learned a bit about it. It is always a comfort to hear others stories to reinforce my decision. Spot and Beeba were ferral cats that I rescued. She was coming around real well. A sweet, calm kitty. I will take very good care of Beeba for her. Thank you.

Thank you for all your nice words for Spot. She was certainly a sweet girl. Hope to talk to everyone at some point. Shannon

My heart both feels and shares your pain at this horrible loss. I don't know anything at all about the illness you mentioned. I feel sorry for her kitten looking for her. I know how awful that can be. I trust that peace will find a way back into both of your hearts very soon.

I had not heard of Chyle ( Feline Chylothorax ) so I did the same as you and googled it.
It sounds like a devastating disease.

I am so sorry for your loss.


Rest is peace sweet Spot.

Condolences on losing your precious Spot. Sending prayers and vibes for comfort and healing to Beeba & you I know how heartwrenching it is to hear the mournful calling of the one left behind

I`m so sorry for for your sudden loss



From what I can make out, Chyle is not a disease but lymph fluid. A chyle fistula causes chyle to leak into the thorax or abdomen. The most usual cause being lymphatic disease or tumour.

While it was the build up of fluid that made him so sick there would have been an underlying cause.

Rest In Peace
Spot
