The weather seem appropriate today....fitting my mood. I know that I am extra sensitive when it comes to my pets but it is sad to hear your vet say, "there is not much that can really be done..."
The growth they pull out was a lymph node swollen from cancer cells invading it. It was also a secondary site. The type that it is often, in cats, grows in their gums and does not respond to treatment. Friday she gets her stitches out of her neck and the vet will look in her mouth for other possible spots but he ended the conversation with, "We just want to make she is comfortable." You know that is the notice that you will have to make a decision about when to let her go and frankly I suck with those when it comes to my little ones. I was a wimp when it came to Itchy and my mom had to do it for me. I was 3 days from 31 and my mom had to make the decision. I make decisions everyday and often very tough ones but I always falter when it comes to the idea of having to put one of my pets to sleep.....How sad is that. Seemingly I have some time before I have to think about it- she is still overall in good shape...but still-
