Hi everyone Paco passed away a little while ago. I feel so awful. He took his last breath as I was picking him up out of his tank. I knew this was coming but it's still so hard. I hate that he had to suffer so much. I'm relieved that he doesn't have to suffer anymore, but I wish he was still...

We made out okay at the vet, although he hated the injection and actually ended up bending the needle because he started thrashing around. Luckily that happened right after he got all of the medicine. Today is the first day I'll be giving it to him myself. I don't remember which antibiotic it...

He's actually starting to seem a little better. Less lethargic. I'm wondering if that's from feeding him and actually getting some nutrients in him. Apparently I also missed a voice message from the vet the other day, but I spoke to her yesterday. She called to tell me his CBC results came...

Thank you for the reassurance, CooperDragon. Now if only I could figure out a way to syringe feed Paco without ending up looking like I got into a fight with a feral cat!

Thank you for your kind words, Tracie. Paco is about the same, although no longer regularly displaying a black beard and tail. He hasn't vomited again but did have a little diarrhea yesterday. Still very lethargic and all-around sad. I've been giving carafate to ease his belly, per the vet's...

I'm so sorry, that's heartbreaking :( . Thanks so much for the info, though. I'm nearly certain my time with Paco is very limited. Dreading the day I have to say goodbye.

Thanks for your reply and I'm sorry to hear about Cooper! If you don't mind my asking, how much time did you have with Cooper from when symptoms started/he was diagnosed? How was he diagnosed? My vet did say that if they can confirm cancer, the only realistic treatment would be to just make...

Hi Everyone I have a two-year-old female named Paco (I'm so used to using male pronouns with Paco, however, since I didn't find out Paco is female until recently, so I'm just going to stick to that here). Within the past couple weeks, Paco stopped eating. He was brumating for a few months and...
