my kitty cat Juliet has a tumor in her mouth, big enough to bother her when when she eats, and may get infected again
if the tumor spreads it could prevent her from eating alltogether if things go well... a couple months. the only way to really make her last longer would be to take her to a specialist in cornell, and have them cut out her entier jaw thats infected; and if its spread further, which is likely, so it would make things worse- especially since it would impeade her ability to eat even more...
and she can't just take out the part of the tumor impeading her ability to eat- because it would bleed so much it'd do too much damamge
I knew it was cancer but... but I was really hoping it wasn't this bad, that it was like the cancer she had in her noes a couple years ago that they could take out- that one was alot smaller but...
she gave us some pain medication to give her to see if she'll be better able to eat... she lost 4 ounces this week, so we have to be pushyer with her about food, and the vet said if it re-infected she'd give her some more antibiotic
but I know it won't be long before I have to face that... Primus I can't do this...
