ARGH, the pains of them getting old with the threat of things like this always hanging over your head. I feel for you. I had it with Mist and now have it with Jess. She's ok at the moment but, as you know, they can take a bad turn at anytime.

I hope, if it is Rocky's time, that he goes peacefully and without pain. Maybe it isn't yet though, he might just be going through a rough patch......
