    I hope the steroids and antibiotics help Bartie feel better. HUGS to you...this is just such bad news. Feel more comfy Bartie and snuggle up to your Mom. She loves you very very much.

    We are so sorry to hear about Bartie, its a shock when our Cats become older and fall prey to illness.
    We always want them to be well and there is such a feeling of helpnessness when we cannot make everything all right as we could when they were young.
    WE pray that Bartie can get better , that he is not in pain.
    All of our prayers are coming for Bartie from the Found Cat Hotel.

    Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this. I will keep you and Bartie in my thoughts. At least he is in the best home ever for his last years.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    it's difficult watching them get old and their good health fail them. Hugs to you and Bartie.

    Myndi will be 17 next week. Amazing and sad at the same time.

    Oh Donna, I feel your pain and fully understand all that you are feeling having been there with Rascal.
    You have my prayers and of course, Bartie does as well.

    Donna, I'm so sorry to hear this. It's so hard to watch our pets get older. When my old boy Storm went downhill, I just couldn't bare to watch it any more so I knew that it was time. I hope that you're able to make Bartie as comfortable as possible. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

    I am so sorry to hear about Bartie. I am totally with you when you say that you don't want a biopsy. we had one done with Tigris ( who was only 13 then) but he never recovered from it as it was major surgery and he had to go one week later. He would have been more comfortable if we hadn't done it
    All the best for you and Bartie.

    Very sad news, and no correct decision to be had. I hope the time you have left, no matter the length, is precious.
