Spicey's poor prognosiis
Spicey stopped eating Thursday evening, and got bloodwork at the vet
yesterday, which were concerning enough that she was admitted for an overnight stay at the emergency vet today. Spicey managed to be a little bit of her spunky self, fighting with the techs. But an ultrasound has found that she has multiple tumors in her pancreas, and possibly her adrenal glands, small intestine, and elsewhere, and her kidneys, thyroid, and potassium are also out of whack, they say. There's not much that can be done about the underlying issues, so she'll just be getting palliative care over the weekend. After that, I'll probably bring her home and discuss options with her regular vet. I've known in my mind that I might not be allowed to have Suz's cat for very long, but in my heart, I wanted her to be part of our new family forever. |

I know you brought Spicy out of her shell when she came to live with you. Unfortunately we cannot control what happens. I will purr for her. But at least know you gave her a good home. And she did come out of her shell somewhat after you brought her home after Suz died. Thank you for taking her in. {{{{{{hugs}}}}} Jill |

In your heart, she will be part of your family forever. I'm sorry it looks as though you may be facing that terrible, loving decision. My heart goes out. |

Thanks Jill, Joy. BTW, here's a picture of her at the vet today. Her body's
failing her from the inside, but you can see that she's alert, and her spirit is undiminished. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...8989994&type=3 |

Suz, I'm sorry I couldn't do more for your cat. Actually, she's *my* cat.
Or maybe our cat. I was running around like a decapitated chicken today, all only get confirmation that Spicey is doomed. I don't know precisely how doomed, but pretty doomed. I wish I could do more to fix her, but she frankly has even more problems than Betty did, and I was never able to fix her either. Why are kitties so finite Suz? And why were you so finite to leave her with me alone? |

And that's her charm. |
