Issey has spent the day in the garden under the trees.....she hasnt eaten again today but I assure You she seems comfortable.
I have checked on her every half hour and each time she lifted her head up to see Me  :Luv2:

Its such a lovely day here that I will leave her out there for another couple of hours before bringing her in

She has got "that smell"  :(
and she has started drinking alot ......

She doesnt seem stressed and gets up and slowly walks around....infact she is in the litter tray now....and now has gone back to lay by the back door (gap where air comes in)

So sorry its been such an awful day for you Michelle but glad you have a little longer with Issey I think we all hope they will die peacefully at home. Would it be an option for your vet to do a home visit if that time comes? We had our cat Button pts at home ..although an awful thing to go through was made easier knowing I didnt have to stress her more ( or us) taking her to ther vet Lots of  :hug: to you and Issey xx

Had such a terrible day  :(

Had convinced myself it was time to let her go.....screamed, cried and was sick (thats me not issey) Took loads of photos
Phoned my Mum to take us to the vets

Get to vets, had a long chat and my vet (and my mum) both felt she isnt quite ready to go ....although my vet has told me 100% that she is now dieing but he doesnt think she is suffering.  He says she is gently fading away.

What I want more than anything now is for her to die here at home

But I also now know that I will be strong enough to PTS if it comes to it

So this is it........

My Brother and Sister inlaw have just been round to see her and say their goodbyes

Just one last thing,
She has a few bald patches on her from the Op and from being shaved to be scanned and blood tests etc, these have never grown back due to the Chemo.
I had asked my vet a few weeks ago if they would even grow back as i didnt want her dieing looking a mess - he said probably not
Today I noticed the fur is growing  :Luv: on all of the patches.....

could be Michelle

people on chemo often struggle to understand that it is the chemo which makes them feel lousy rather than their cancer

I have just got up -

She is weak on her back legs but has gone out and laid in the sun  :Luv:
Can't believe how old she looks....and she is only 5yrs old bless her

We got vets at 4pm....

I dont think she needs pts just yet because she is manageing to eat alittle and enjoying the sun

Actually i just thought, wonder if its the chemo that she has been having ?
Remember she got really bad on the other chemo she had....
She might pick up abit without it

Sadly that is common with cancer. Fingers crossed for Mon, and I hope she is just having a sleepy day, and she has a better day tomorrow

Thanks Desley -
This is such a rollercoater.....

Because of the new lump, now I'm not sure if the original lumps have actually got any smaller, maybe I am just imagining it ?!

And she hasn't really eaten today either

Have you spoken to the vet ?
