Hi Sirrahbed: Thank you for your kindness. I stumbled across this site quite by accident while surfing the web looking and hoping for better answers about chylothorax. I'm glad I found it. I've been a mess and needed an outlet.....some place to scream. You guys have been a wonderful support network and I am extremely grateful and touched by all of the concern and kind, loving posts that I have received. As far as submitting pictures of Buddy, I would very much like to do that. I've tried to add his picture to my signature today but don't know if I did it right. I'm not very familiar with how all of the features work. You see, I'm mostly a web surfer and haven't really gotten involved with forums. And with all that's been going on with Buddy, I can't seem to concentrate. I need help!! Buddy is about the same today. He doesn't seem to be in any extreme pain althought I know he's in discomfort. He mostly lays on the kitchen table. He gets a birds eye view from there. He eats very little but enjoys it when he does. He won't eat his regular cat food anymore so I've been feeding him what he loves.......people crab meat and (homemade chicken liver patte.... something I came up with to give him his medications). I figure at this point in his life, I'll break the rules and give him what he enjoys the most. I have two other cats, Nena and Oliver and a minipin, Mike. It has just been amazing to me how accommodating they all have been. They all have given up there regular nighttime beds to be close to Buddy. Nena and Mike always sleep with mom and Oliver always sleeps with me. For the last several days and nights, they have all been sticking close to Buddy, especially Oliver. Many, many times a day, he'll sit or lay next to Buddy and sniff around his face. Nena did the cutest thing, yesterday. Buddy came out to the living room to go (I set up a new litter box so he wouldn't have to walk so far) and sat in front of Nena when he was done. She sat straight up and gently put a paw on either side of his face. She held this pose for about 20 seconds (of course not long enough for me to get a picture). No one could ever convince me otherwise that animals don't have feelings and true love and affection for one another. My gang knows Buddy is ill and it's like they're holding a ritual. It's breaking my heart but it's also nice to see them give him attention and comfort. Please pray for my sweet boy.
