I was so sad to read your post too-I know exactly how you feel right now. It's incredibly difficult. Please PM me if you need to talk.

I wish I had known about the Pepcid AC, though towards the end, Peewee would not eat anything, even if I smeared it on his lips.I think he wanted to go, but I wasn't ready to lose him. We struggled together with his disease for over a year, I'm just glad we put him on the Prozac.it only became truly awful during the last three weeks, but as I noted above, the Prozac really did wonders for his spirit throughout the ordeal. I wish I had had some for myself at that time-I've never experienced a loss as painful.

I brought a new kitten home a few weeks later-probably too soon for me, but my remaining cat was miserable without his best friend (as was I). Oberon, or "Obie", the Maine Coon kitten has been a real joy, and Miro, my other cat, is doing much better. Nothing will ever replace Peewee, but there is always room in the human heart to love a new "fur child".

I'll keep Chester in my prayers, he's lucky to have you.Prayers for Ramona too.
