We are sorry to report that Zeus' White Lightening has passed on. 4/11/08 I took him back to the vets b/c his stomach had swollen and he was becoming weak again w/ pale gums. The doctor checked his pack cell volume and it was down to 22 again. He did an ultrasound on his spleen and found a large tumor as his spleen had swelled to an unusual size. The doc figured the cancer in the spleen was killing/damaging his new blood cells from the transfusion. He also felt the cancer was in his liver and possibly lungs. We made the hardest decision of our lives to put him to sleep. We miss him so much and this feels like a horrible nightmare. We have his sister to take care of and to keep us going. Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers!
