I hope they diagnose her correctly soon but in the meantime it is so rotten when animal is poorly.

Yes, its just one of those things where you cannot say "it'll be alright" to the kids or anyone. <BR/><BR/>Went to the vet today and he was bewildered by her improving behaviour and keen appitite . He now wants to talk to a specialist and will get back to me. He says these are not the signs of leukemia or a serious illness. Did another blood smear. Poor Rose!<BR/><BR/>xxxJennysmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176560381292594341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961311232482181969.post-7214015333564358582008-11-10T21:58:00.000-08:002008-11-10T21:58:00.000-08:00Oh, I'm really sorry. xI agree that you should tel...Oh, I'm really sorry. x<BR/><BR/>I agree that you should tell the kids the truth. Sometimes when we try to protect them, it does more harm than good. I think allowing them to deal with their feelings over this will help them (in the long term) to understand all about life, illness, death, and all those horrible things we can't do bugger all about.Elaine Denninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640829930815645105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961311232482181969.post-29114070396621233262008-11-10T16:38:00.000-08:002008-11-10T16:38:00.000-08:00Oh I am sorry JS.
