I lost my best friend, Nermal on 01/17/2017. He had a very aggressive cancer in his poor little mouth and it took him from me quickly. As it mutated and became more painful, I realized it was time for him to be at peace. Looking back on that day, it now seems like I was completely out of my...

Memorializing (that's a word, right?) your pet is a very personal thing. I lost my two sweet kitties within about a year of each other. It was very difficult to say the least! I had each for just over 14 years and they each had a different type of cancer that quickly took them over. I had each...

I am so sorry your sweet Bella is declining. I understand completely, as I just lost my beloved companion of 15 years, Nermal, last week. It is heartbreaking .... and that, for me, isn't a strong enough word. I truly feel your pain, and I am very sorry you are going through this! Nermal's...

You are correct in getting another professional opinion on the next appropriate step. I have done that several times with my own vet! We are with them all the time and are being pulled in so many directions. While a vet is caring and compassionate, they also aren't as emotionally invested and...

I am sorry you had a personal experience with this horrible disease! Thank you for responding. I love my little kitty friend and am having a very difficult time with all of this. Best to you!

Kitkats5, I am so sorry your kitty is struggling with the same cancer! It is so awful to see them in this condition. My heart just aches and it has been an emotional roller coaster since his diagnosis. My poor, sweet friend is having a difficult time eating now and paws at his mouth like he's...

I am so sorry your kitty isn't well. My kitty is struggling now, too with a very aggressive cancer, with no treatment options. Sadly, I fear he is in his last days. One year ago, I had to make the difficult decision to put his kitty friend down as he was suffering in the late stages of a...

Poor kitty! I had a kitty years ago that had arthritis. I discovered it after he lashed out at my other kitty and me several times. I took him to the vet and explained it to her. She prescribed an injectable (marketed for canines) at a small dose and it was AWESOME. It's called Adequan. He got...

I'm glad your kitty is feeling better! That must have been so scary for you. Fleas are tricky and a frustrating problem, aren't they? They are certainly no joke when you live in Florida! I moved from there to Washington DC earlier this year and my kitty never had them until we lived in Florida...

In September, my 15 year old kitty was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma. A tumor was discovered when he was having his teeth cleaned and some extracted. Treatment wasn't an option. In the last several weeks, the tumor has gotten large and he's having increasing difficulty eating. He is on...
