Reply #7: I'm so sorry corarose [View All]

I know it feels like a failure to lose a special pet.
But we're almost doomed to "fail" and lose them no matter how
good our care, 'cause they simply have shorter life spans.

However, 16 years is a very good long life.
She had more years of love than most cats are lucky
enough to have.
And, as infuriating as it is to get a bogus diagnosis
from multiple vets, and to only find out the truth too late
(and I've been there...), in this case would have an accurate
diagnosis have significantly extended her life or made her
a lot more comfortable? I doubt it but I can't say for sure.

Maybe when you're ready you can find a good vet
and honor Ramona's life by taking in another of her
species that desperately needs your TLC.
