In a state of misery w/o my Bella
I am so scared, Bella has already lost her left back leg to cancer, and now she keeps lifting her right front paw up. I can't get into the vet till 3.She has been on chemo since May 17th. I'm totally freaked!!!

Awww try and not get stressed too much or Bella will pick up on it


It may be nothing. Can you see anything on her paw?.

At least your going to have her seen today so you won't have too long to wait, but keep us updated.

Just hang in there til 3, and try to distract yourself until then.

I'll keep you both in my prayers, and please let us know how it goes.

okay we are back from the vet. She took x-rays but saw no cancer in the leg as of yet but said it could be rapid growing and wants her to have x-rays again in 2 weeks. But she is not saying it's cancer...she said it could be a soft tissue injury because shes compensating for the missing back leg.Also they took her CBC blood work and did a blood panel because she has puked for a few days.We will get the results tomorrow. Uggghhhh!!
Please pray for my sweet girl!!!

We just got back from the vet and he said he feels a little something on her bone, most likely it's the cancer again like in her now missing back leg. The vet does not want to say that just yet he's trying to be positive but we can't do another xray and expect to see any changes until next week so really all we can do for her is pain meds. It is so rare in cats for cancer to go from the lung to the leg he wants to write about her in a journal of medicine.
Thank you all for your prayers, we so appreciate them. Bella is the love of my life and I feel as though I will just fall apart without her.

Loving my beautiful baby girl
Bella, your Mommy is so observant to catch this early sign so quickly and rush you off to the Dr. to ensure something be done immediately to further assess your sweet paw.

This must be tearing you up to pieces to think your little baby may have to go through another challenge. I am absolutely praying for your beautiful sweetheart! Bella baby, your Mommy loves you so much and is going to take excellent care of you. As she remains forever at your side, my heart is with you both.


My girlies send sweet snuggles, please feel better very soon, precious little girl.

Thank you all for your prayers, Bella is not using the paw at all but she's kind of moving fast when she's walking I think to keep up her momentum. Her appetite is great I bring the food to her most of the time so maybe that's why she's eating so much. She's so sweet and I am so sad for her to go through this. She pretty much hangs with me all day and I take her to the litter and to her water she lets me know when she needs to move I just don't want her to injure herself. She purrs and touches me all the time it's too cute she woke me up this morning rubbing her back leg down my back, she didn't like it that I was not facing her. I am enjoying every minute with her... always have actually!!
