I'm so sorry to hear about Phoebe. I totally understand your position of not putting her through too much. My Tubby boy is 18 1/2 and I've already decided that if something serious happens to him I won't put him through unneccessary procedures either. He and Phoebe have lived good long lives and there's no sense in making their last days any more torturous (sp?) for them than necessary.

I sure hope the antibiotics do their thing and Phoebe starts feeling better. Hugs and smoochies to her and {{{hugs}}} to you for doing the best you can for her.
