FeLV...

It stands for Feline Leukaemic Virus. And that is what my darlin Yibbe has. No wonder he was still not well even after a week's course of antibiotics for the blood parasite from fleas infestation.

There is no cure for it. I was devastated when i heard the news. Have been crying day and night. I cry everytime i look at him. I felt so helpless. That is one of the worst feelings in the world... not being able to help your loved ones.

Between ferrying him to the vet, work and completing my thesis, i did not have much time for anything else.

Then i noted that he was bumping into things. Being an eye doctor, i was able to diagnose that Yibbe has bilateral uveitis, secondary to the FeLV.

He was going blind.

I was heartbroken.

Yesterday, i cradled him on my lap as i feed him. He ate from my hand. Then he put his paws on my chest and hid his head under my neck.

I just could not hold my tears...
