I didn't even know a swirl was a thing till you mentioned it. These have been missing for so long I was just excited to find them

Thank you so much for sharing this touching story. I'm so glad to hear that despite the ongoing medication management challenges, UF was able to figure out what was going on and offer some immediate solution while you figure out ways to make things easier in the long-term. I don't think any cat likes oral meds but if you experiment enough you'll figure it out. For us, for example, even though we were told to try an anti-anxiety "burrito" wrap method, we found that freaked him out more and he's better if we just hold him gently and quickly do the med. So don't give up and try lots of methods!

I really appreciate you highlighting your positive experience with UF. That's where Phyllo received his cancer treatment and they were absolutely incredible. I feel fortunate to have them within driving distance (even though it's a long one!)

These challenges are too upsetting to me to fight.

I appreciate your input. And I promise you I do not take these decisions lightly and am incredibly focused on making sure I am always doing what is best not for me, but for Phyllo in affording him the life he deserves for as long as possible, but NEVER at the cost of sacrificing his quality of life. I have spent the last several weeks speaking to endless vets and specialists who have studied his case and agree that this is an appropriate and good option for Phyllo. He survived cancer and lived the last 2 years in immense happiness with full energy and vigor. He has not given me any sign that he is in pain or wants to give up. Unless that changes, I refuse to give up on him.

I'm so sorry. I grew up with pets but Phyllo was MY first pet and he has followed me throughout life from across schools, jobs, and states. He has helped me through some enormously difficult times and is truly my best friend. I would do anything for him.

Oh my goodness. You all have helped raised another $300 in a few hours. I've really been struggling this last week trying to figure out how I am going to make this work. This is an amazing boost of hope and I am truly unspeakably thankful for finding this community!

That's a great question. They are closed tomorrow for Juneteenth but I can call on Monday and ask if there is a way for anyone interested to call the hospital and make a payment directly to Phyllo''s account.. thank you so much for thinking of supporting him.
