Update on Daisy

[HelpinUtah]

When I got home from work last night I could tell Daisy was not as good as the day before and this morning she seemed a little less good.  When she saw I was awake she came and slept on my chest for a little bit while I pet her. She purred, but had very little energy.  She rested the length of her body along my body on top of me and rested her chin on my shoulder and closed her eyes.  She's gotten so little compared to the 17 lbs. she used to be.  She's not in discomfort - thankfully the pain meds are helping with that and the Pro Gut is keeping her tummy in check, but the tumor is starting to grow again (the prednisone helped reduce it a little for a bit there) and so I'm not sure how much longer we'll have her.  She is still eating, but not as much as she was a couple days ago.  

It was very sweet with her this morning.  One of my other girls, Abby, came up and laid on my other side and began grooming Daisy and they both purred.  It was the sweetest thing and then Abby just laid there next to Daisy on me for about 15 minutes.  I didn't want to move and go to work.  I wanted to stay just like that forever!  

Guys, this is breaking my heart and I don't know how it's possible to continue crying so much!  UGH!  

Thanks for all your support and kind words - it has helped me tremendously!  

Hugs,
Janet

My cat Garcia just was diagnoised with Fibrosaroma yesterday. The tumor on the right side of his head.  They said that treament was not an option so he's on pain meds and bow we are waiting. It's nice to have the time but man is it hard!  I'm there with you.  My Garcia is a barn kitten, but everyone tell me he has MainCoon in him. ; )  Kara

Oh bless you all....I know personally how hard it is to watch our babies slowly slipping away, it is simply heartbreaking. You are keeping her pain free and comfortable at her home and thats the best you can do for her now....my heart breaks for you and for Daisy.

I have posted on the cancer expert forum for pets, but no response yet.  Is there another place I can post?  I'm interested in holistic stuff if that will help too.  Thanks!

Hey J. Sorry to hear things are tough. just a thought; have you checked in with the new (and old) folks on the Expert forum yet? If you've got any questions or worries, I can tell you personally they'd be glad to offer their sage advice.
