There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of Dulcie. And I wonder why? I mean, I wonder why she, in her short life, touched me so very deeply in a way that my two other cats at Rainbow Bridge did not. Or maybe it is BECAUSE of them that she touched me so deeply. It's not only myself that she touched sodeeply, people who never even met her were touched byher storyand by her soul. Our rescue tried to long and hard to save her but we had to do what was best for her, to show her we loved her enough to not make her suffer any more, Believe me, it was the hardest day of my life so far. I believe it's different when they are taken and you have no choice, but when you have to make that choise it becomes soemthing else altogether. I miss her so very much and WHenver I look into my LIttle Bear's eyes I think also of Dulcie, the two were very good friends, of the same breed, but oh so different! LOL Dulcie, I love you. Little Bear, I'm so glad I have you!

My Mommy went through this with me last year. I was adopted and seemed ok, but had runny poo. I made my journey to the bridge 5 weeks later. I had a good week 1, week 2 was so-so, and the vet met me and said FIP just by looking at me. Mommy didn't see anything at the time, but her vet obviously could. Then I went home and thrived for 2 weeks. Then Mommy started to see the fluid building in my tummy). Then, week 5, I changed and went downhill fast. Mommy took me to the hospital and I crossed the bridge there with her help. It was devastating, but mommy is glad she made it through and in return and has learned a great deal about it. I'm sorry about what happened with Dulcie.
