january 5, 2008...the worst day of my life
Lilly. Apparently she had liver cancer. Perhaps the vets new it before, or did not screen her for it, but no one told me. Most likely its because there was no way to treat her for it and it would be torture waiting for her to pass (so maybe they intended to save us the grief).
She had been acting funny the whole week. Did not eat. Was playing around way less and was practically missing, she was hiding away from people. On Saturday morning, before I had my lessons for the day I found her under the living room table, lying around looking listless and tired and just staring off into space. I tried calling her name and it looking like she wasn't responding and her breathing pattern was very weird. So I called the vet and my mom took her. When my lesson was over, she called me and said that they would keep her for 3 days and run tests, but didn't really explain what was going on. So I called then vet myself and he had just taken the x-ray and found that the tumor had started in the liver and spread all through the other organs up to the lungs. She basically wouldn't breathe anymore because her lungs were fulled with fluid. Since she was suffering so much and nothing could be done, we had to let her go....
I still feel like I'm dreaming
