Check was adopted through the Kentucky Humane Society (he was a stray). Choppi was a stray my sister in law found as a kitten in Danville, KY., so they were more "step-siblings" than from the same litter. He was never treated with Ovaban that I am aware of. Choppi was spayed at one year, a...

Our baby Check died a week ago from highly malignant breast cancer. The last evening was heart wrenching when we decided it was time, and we'd take him the next morning.

He has lost a lot of weight (he was quite heavy before, but now his back is bony), and his hind legs are disproportionate. We thought ...
