kitty update

[tdjohnsn]

I talked to Ariel's oncologist and she said that the chances of another remission, especially since the second one has only been 4 months and she never really thrived, were slim. She did give us a third option, and that was to do one round of chemo just to restore some of her kidney function, then she could come home for awhile before the end. I went with that option since I did not want her to go straight from being at the vet for three days to being put to sleep.

Sorry to hear things aren't going well for her. I'm sure time back in her home environment will be tremendously comforting for her after the past few days at the vet, and give you a little extra time to prepare to say good-bye. *Hugs*

That's really sad. You have my condolences.

I'm sorry. But as I think this is a good decision.

I know your pain...did that with all three of my schnauzers until I knew that quality of life issues far outweighed the emotions of keeping them with us. :( Good luck!

We did kitty hospice for our cat after she developed a mystery wasting illness (either cancer or FIT-- the test was inconclusive). While sad it was much less tramatic than having to put her down at the vet's.

We are going to have a traveling vet come out to the house when it is time. I want her to feel save and unafraid when it is time.

I am so sorry to hear about your kitty. It's very sad. We'll be giving our kitties more attention in Ariel's honor. Take care of yourself.
