Thank you all for the advice, support, and prayers. It has helped us
greatly. I'm so sad to say Biff passed away this evening.

We took him to the vet yesterday afternoon and the doctor said it
was more then likely lymphoma or a similar cancer since he's been on
the antibiotics for so long and hadn't improved. She said he didn't
have much longer to live. He was given sub-q fluids and we learned
how to give him sub-q at home, but it didn't seem to help. He also
ate a little chicken. At home we made him as comfortable as possible
and didn't leave his side, but in the evening his breathing became
so difficult, we called an emergency vet line to get him put down,
because he was so uncomfortable. He passed away in my arms before we
got anywhere.

Thank you again to everyone who tried to help. It has been a comfort
reading all the friendly replies. At the least, we will know more
about this sort of thing if we should ever see it again (hopefully
never).
~Emily and the whole gang.
