Goodbye EmmyLou

[waitingman]

Taken from us too soon... at 6 months old, only 2 months after she came to us

Feline Infectious Peritonitis - a relatively rare, but always fatal disease, took not only EmmyLou, but also her mother &, to date, 4 of her siblings from the same litter

Her sister Layla, shows no signs of the disease, so far... though it can present at any time in a cat that's infected - even months later, so the odds are against her

It's not been a great year for our animals...

lj ate my first reply.

I'm so sorry to hear about the deaths of EmmyLou and her mother and siblings. Did you have the mother and the entire litter? As a fellow animal lover and especially lover of cats, I can imagine how distressed you are. You really have had more than your share of losses.
Such a darling little calico.

I hope Layla stays well and is a ray of sunshine for you. Is there any way she can be treated prophylactically to prevent the disease from taking hold? I hope so.

I wish I could do more than just write a reply. :(
