Ivy I am so very sorry - I too hoped that Spike would get better - my heart goes out to you

________________________________

A soft full tail, exquisite eyes,
soft purring at the door,
playful swatting, frequent naps,
toys strewn across the floor.

With gentle rubs and playful purring
you made your presence known
and, knowing you were always there,
we never felt alone.

You loved it when we scratched your ears,
we swear it made you smile.
We could never stay angry with you,
we couldn’t if we tried.

The soft sweet purring now has ceased,
no gentle rubs to greet us,
just memories of a special friend
and good times are all we see.

Although we miss you dearly,
we’ll try not to feel so blue,
because we know that there’s a bridge
for special cats like you.

RIP  SPIKE

I'm so very sorry  :'( Run free at the Bridge little Spike

I'm new here and it's far too late to be of help, but it probably always was  :(. One of my cats Minou had a very bad reaction to Frontline (having used it ok before) she got a huge raw weeping patch that spread from between her shoulder blades up her neck and down her back. My vets had no hesitation at all in saying it was a reaction to the chemicals and told me that far worse reactions were possible  - as poor Spike proved.

It took me over a year to even consider another flea treatment for her, and they suggested Advantage as less toxic. Her reaction was exactly the same. I was very very lucky that she recovered twice, I was crying as I read your thread remembering how angry and helpless I felt at what she went through from something that was supposed to help her, and thinking how at least she made it which sweet Spike didn't, I'm so sorry.

Hi all

Just want to thank you all for your support and advice over these past sad times.

Unfortunately Spike has took a turn for the worse.  This morning he is so weak he is unable to stand properly and his weight loss it so bad I have had to make the worse decision of my entire life.  Tomorrow he will be going to a beautiful place were he will once again be lookin the best and enjoying himself. 

My children do not seem to understand, but I think for Spikes sake this decision is the right one.  :( :( :( :( :(

 :Luv2: Spike we love u very much  :Luv2: x x
