Sad to say that today at 430pm Boo lost his 2 year fight against cancer. After the post I had placed about updates last Thursday things started to change rather quickly for Boo. Actually earlier that week I noticed that he was beginning to eat less and less. Over this weekend he refused to eat anything and only drank very little. He also began to retain fluid in his stomach area so I took him to my vet this afternoon and made the decison to have him put to sleep. I could tell my vet knew that his time had come. He had lost more weight over the last year and in fact had lost a little more since his vet visit almost two weeks ago. She said she could tap into the fluid and see what it brings but wouldn't do so if I decided to go the other way. I didn't want to put him through anything more than I had to and told her it was time to let him go. I held his head in my hand while she gave him the injection and stroked his fur until he passed away all the while telling him he was a good kitty. He did fight the good fight and survived 2 years and 3 months since first being diagnosed with intestinal cancer the day after Christmas in 2006. So the last link to my original 4 has passed... really an end of an era.
