Hi there. I am sorry to hear that your pet, Simon suffered from this disease. It can indeed be devastating and very hard for the pet to live with. I am sorry to hear that medications did not work for him-even when we try our very hardest to do the best for every patient-some of them are just too sick. I'm sure your veterinarian did everything they could to help ease Simon's pain. My heart goes out to you.
