I think you might seriously want to consider your compassion and
sensitivity.  When an animal is seriously ill or has recently died, their
guardian doesn't need to see a post like this one.

I don't know how you know this for a fact.  Do any of us know all that there
is to be known about ECE and/or juvenile lympho.  I think not, there are new
discoveries out there to be found yet.  I have already considered contacting
the breeder, but after Troy Lynn contacted her about the ECE, I am not sure
what good it would do.  She would just deny that it was hereditary because
she probably hasn't seen it in her herd (as she did with ECE, he must have
gotten it somewhere else).
 
Most of us mourn when we lose one of our babies. So be kind and think before
posting.
 
Proud of having been owned by The Great Mugster (he will be missed always)
Nancy, and all the rest of the fur kids.
