Please say a prayer for Jasmine

My cat of 7 years that I got my sophomore year of college is very sick. I am currently waiting at the restaurant down the street from the vet. She has had breathing trouble so I took her to the vet and it turns out that she might have lung cancer. I took her in today after all the blood tests came back negative and they did a traheal wash and used a needle to try and get a sample of her lungs. It looks like she has cancer and may only have a few months left, but even worse she is having trouble recovering from the tests. She is in an oxygen cage with 20% O2 waiting right now. We have to wait a few hours to see if she can come home tonight. I was on the internet researching feline lung cancer and found your site - seems like a lot of you have experienced similar issues.

Please keep my best friend in your thoughts. From school to girlfriends to moving to my first job she has always been with me - good times and bad. I just want her be strong and recover so we can have her final few months together in comfort.

Thanks,

Rich

Thank you for your kind words and prayers. Jazz was slightly better than I thought.....the vet called me at 3 and said that she wasn't recovering well and that he might have to put her down. He said if she did get better I'd be able to pick her up around 8. He was supposed to call me at 5.

I went over there at 6 since I hadn't even heard from him and it turned out she was ready to be discharged! She is breathing heavy still, but she is somewhat active. As I watch her right now, she just jumped off my bed to eat something....the first time in two days!! She only took a bite.....but its a start!

Its very heartbreaking.......she most likely has cancer and its only a matter of time....but I'm glad that the time wasn't tonight and that she'll have a couple of good months with me.

Thank you again for keeping Jazz in your thoughts......shes been my daughter for so long I'm just so attached to her!

I'm so glad that Jasmine is back with you tonight and that she is eating. I will keep you and Jasmine in my prayers.

I am so sorry for the probable diagnosis, it is one I had to deal with, with my sweet Mervat <RB> (a princess in the truest sense of the word). I am glad she was able to come home with you tonight.

You and Jasmine will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so glad Jasmine is home with you tonight! I am absolutely continuing to pray for your sweet little girl!

I just came home for lunch and to see my little girl and she ate half of a bowl this morning! I'm so happy for my baby!

Thanks again for keeping Jazz in your thoughts and my prayers go out to all of you that have posted about similar situations.

How do I post a pic of her here?

I`m so glad you got to bring your baby home with you and that she is doing better with being able to eat.
Let us know when the tests come back....I`m praying she does`nt have cancer!
We`d love to see her picture on here...but i`m sorry i can`t tell you how to post one...I have`nt figured that out yet myself.

I will definitely be praying for your sweet baby Jasmine too. It's wonderful that her appetite is picking up so quickly, that's a good sign and it will help make her stronger. I pray too that the diagnosis is wrong--I was once told by a vet that my beloved Malkin (RIP) had a terrible disease and would die within probably weeks. Well, she was wrong!! Malkin lived well for YEARS after that diagnosis--until the age of 17 in fact! So I will be hoping and praying for the very best for your baby. And you know, Jasmine has something else going in her favor which is VERY important--that is you and your love for her! Love can achieve amazing results--I've seen it happen in my own life and with my own cats. Sending hugs to you and your sweet baby. God bless--you are both in my prayers.

You and sweet Jasmine are in my thoughts and prayers.

Do you think there is a chance the diagnostic is wrong? What about those herbal treatments I've been reading about on the internet? A scam, or does anybody know of a sucess story?

She hasn't eaten anything since I came home at noon, but she seems to be ok. She has a bandage on her leg I need to take off, but I don't want to upset her so I might wait until tomorrow.

Rich, that is good you got to bring her home.{{{more get well vibes for Jasmine}}}
