My kitty is dying :(

That sounds like what my shepherd mix had, we forked over a couple thou to have some tumors removed and it was worth it, he lived longer than the doctor said he would.

Good luck to you and your pooch!

Appreciate it; hope we have the same luck!

that all sounds promising, forks, and the meatballs add a cheerful note to the proceedings. i hope she fares very well, she sounds like a lovely dog.

So Banjo the dog is in full (if temporary) remission and is in excellent shape at the moment. I took her to cancer treatment while her mom was away for the holidays and that was pretty horrible as the dog knows full well she's gonna be held down. They give her increasing levels of tranquilizers to keep her under wraps but she freaks out once the muzzle is on. Recovery starts as soon as she walks out of the vet's door though and the doctors there are very very nice and gentle. So she's got two a week of that for the next three weeks. The tumors have receded drastically and she has a lot more energy. I spent three days with her around the house, napping and taking long walks in prospect park. it's the best holiday gift i coulda asked for.

Good to hear!

That's really good news - 2015 is gonna be way better.

That is beautiful. How wonderful for Banjo! I have a tear in my eye.

She had a good run. Ex took her into the vet and they say she's got liquid built up around her lungs and that it can be drained but is likely just going to come back. They're discussing putting her down now and I'm being told I need to come out to Jersey to see her as she might not be here when i get back. It was a gift to have her a bit longer.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. Big hugs to you.

I'm sorry forks.

sorry to hear that, forks. I hope she was able to enjoy life up until this recent setback — it's a credit to your care for her that she was able to survive for so long after such a dire prognosis.

Pope Francis said doggies can go to heaven, now. ...
Maybe kitties can, too ?

thanks guys. i'm having a hard time with this right now.

sending you my best wishes, forks.

i am dreading this myself rn. very sorry, man

Sorry to hear this, forks. Be as emo as you wanna be.

<3 forks

just spent three hours with the dog with my ex and my current girlfriend and there was a lot of crying and goodwill. i took her for our last walk together, did a lot of hugs. she's still just fine to the eye but her breathing is labored and it's going to get worse soon.
she's gonna put her down over the weekend and do it at the house among friends. i feel fairly wrecked.
good luck with this mookie.

Oh no.

So sorry, forks.
