I found out shortly after getting my 9 month kitten fixed that he had feline leukemia . For I while I was syringe feeding him and he was having good days and bad days but was always tired and weak. Yesterday when I woke up he was sleeping with me and he had pooped the bed because he couldn't get up . He tried to jump off the bed and he fell straight on his side and couldn't get up. Whenever he would lift his head it would wobble like he was very disoriented . He was also very anemic and stopped eating again. I knew that it was time, so I brought him to the vet and had them check if it was possibly an ear infection, it wasn't , it turns out it was the feline leukemia messing with his nervous system. The vet said the only thing I could do is probably a transfusion which I cannot afford and he said even if I did that he would continue to face the same problems so I decided to give my poor Earl some peace. I stayed in the room with him the whole time and held his hand and petted his head and told him how much I loved him. After I took him home and buried him in the yard. This was my first pet that was all my responsibility and I hope I did the right thing. Now I feel very sad and the house feels very empty without him. I miss him so much. I'm writing on here to ask if anybody has some advise? And just honestly to vent. I feel like no one truly understands that is close to me... Thank you.
