That's such wonderful news, Slick! Often the most difficult decisions turn out to be the best ones and it looks like this is the case w/Max. Quality of life is what we all desire for ourselves and our furkids and you've given Max that gift. I'm so glad! Same thing here w/Boo. Since I stopped his thyroid meds, he's improved immensely, back to meowing and purring and sitting on my lap at the computer again. What more can we ask for except that they live forever and we know that isn't possible so we take the next best thing and that's a good quality of life. Way to go Max and Slick!
