Urgent - please help - my cat george is really struggling with breathing

I got that, also. I think the person who started this thread is a fraud, just looking for a sucker - and we all fell in the trap.

Most probably you're correct, because if anything new, whether the kitty died, or recovered or nothing changed, the owner would tell. When I got a new turtle and I posted for help, every minute I would check for replies, as I really needed help. If there was a real problem, the owner would check up quite quickly and continuously as to know what to do next.

Its either this or GPandCP died. or forgot his/her password

My guess - there is no pet. This troll comes in and posts a distress topic - just to see us get upset.

Exactly - but I didn't word it the way you did - as I would have liked to. I've been "thumped" before, for saying much the same thing!

Doesn't it make you nuts that someone would actually go to all of the trouble to post a fake urgent call for help.

Oh yeah, sure - maybe it wasn't - but it probably was..........and all of
us who love our pets and care for them jump in to try to help.

The reply was a no brainer for any of us - rush to the vets!!!

But maybe we were dealing with "no brainers" and that is why they
disappeared.
