He's positive for both FIV and FELV. His liver function is also severely down from a month ago.

Feles mala! Cur cista non uteris? Stramentum novum in ea posui.
Yes, it's time I updated my sig.
Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear this. I guess the shelter didn't test him.
What did the vet say about life expectancy since his kidney function is so low? I really wished this would have been better news for you guys.

I'm so sorry to hear this about Bob
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.
*cries* He might live a few days
His liver function is down to 10 % (Pax test), when it reaches 8 %, it is fatal.
I heard the results at work, so I haven't got much work done this afternoon.
*cries* Bob was calling me when I opened the front door, so I have been cuddling him.
I know this sounds crazy but his purrs seemed to say 'It doesn't matter' over and over, I think he knows he is going to die.
I know he was never going to be a long term pet but we can't even give him freedom in his last days, he will have to stay in our spare room until we put him to sleep, unless he dies naturally first

I would not be surprised if you heard my cry of anguish all the way in England.
What heartbreaking news.
Before I cry so hard that I can't see know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Give him lots of love. That is what he needs. Be there for him in the end and he will wait for you at the RB.

Oh, Jenny, that is heartbreaking, I am so, so, sorry. I was just reading the other thread and about to reply when I saw the link to this one.
In spite of this devastating news, maybe even more so, I think it is so great for him that he is there with you and Steve. He looked as though he felt so good after his bath and was so enjoying his yummy food yesterday. And today, instead of being alone, just one amongst many, on his last days, he is with you and all has the love and care you give.... okay, yes, I am in tears here.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers
Big, Big, Hugs.
Chris
Oh gosh, I am so, so sorry to hear this sad news.
It is comforting though to know that he will spend his last days filled with love from two great people and not stuck alone in a cold cage.
My heart and my prayers go out to the both of you.
Go in peace precious Bob.

I am so sorry. Bless you for making his last days loved.
My heart goes out to you and your hubby. We are going through the same thing. Today was not a good day for felines.
I am so sorry for you and poor Bob. But I am sure that he accepts his fate - I know cats do- and is happy that in his last days he found persons to trust and love.
{{{{Hugs}}}} to both of you and Bob
So sorry to hear about Bob. I remember when we had to have our cat Dusty PTS because the Felv was so bad. He purred the whole time at the vets office. I cried so much...
At least he has your love and that is the most important thing of all. *big hugs*

I'm so so sorry that the news wasn't better for you and Bob. But you still did a good thing bringing him home. He will be with you for whatever time he has, and even though he can't be out and have his freedom as you hoped, he will be with you both, being loved, and that is so much better than what he had.
What a dreadful day I'm sorry to hear about Bob's condition.

Oh no... these are terrible news!
I'm so very sorry to hear about Bob!
