Everyone is still alive
Much to my surprise, Nipsy is doing pretty well. I guess that shadow
in his lungs wasn't cancer because he would certainly be dying from that by now. He does have a serious heart murmer but I don't know that anything can be done about it. He is sneezing more now though, which could be a sign of a failing heart. I'll check with the vet - he had that growth in his ear that might have been cancer or might have been a polyp. Much of that was removed, and while he still scratches at the ear, there is no longer an infection there. But I wasn't willing to do much more since that shadow appeared on the xray. Still, it might have been an infection and not cancer. I just don't know how much stuff I want to subject him to - which is why I didn't do more tests in the first place. But since he isn't dying of cancer, I guess I have to find out what the heart condition is and whether it can be treated. Nothing will make it go away, but maybe he can have some more time if it's something that is treatable. The entire yard was pulled out a few weeks ago, and all the grass killed and yanked out. I have nothing there but sandy soil and left over decorative rocks. It looks like the surface of the moon. Tomorrow, finally, the gardener will plant the new yard. Mostly all Florida native plants. No grass except a little patch of sod so the cats can eat it, come inside, and vomit on the white rug. I don't want to ruin all their fun. It should be really nice, and hopefully the cats will enjoy the new yard as it fills in. Not a very big area - 25' by 35', but it's enough for them to roam around and because there are no high bushes or trees, it should be very difficult for them to get over the fence. That's the news from rainy south Florida. |
