I’m sorry for the late reply. Momo’s condition has been going up and down the past week. Some days she eats well and other days she’s in too much pain to eat. The past couple days her mouth has been bleeding excessively every time she eats on her own and it’s been a struggle having to clean her mouth every time. We got better syringes to feed her and that has been working well for the time being but now it’s reaching the point where she is in too much pain to enjoy it. My family and I have been stressing and crying over how we should go about making the final call. The medication only works for a few hours and that’s the time she eats, but her mouth starts bleeding a lot and that causes her pain. The tumor has grown so much that she tends to scratch at her swollen jaw which causes more bleeding. The constant cleaning and wiping caused her to lose fur around her chin. I’ve gotten feline ointment for her skin and it does help the itching. I can tell that the medication is starting to lose its effectiveness as the days go by and I’ve left a message to my vet about it and plan to make an appointment. Although her weight is maintained, it will be a struggle from here on out for her to enjoy eating food unless it’s for a couple hours of being medicated. I’m planning to speak with the vet about the bleeding and if there is another option for pain meds. If the pain is too much for her then that may be the time to make the final decision. In any case, I don’t want her to suffer from the pain even if she has a full stomach. There’s no point for her to deal with the pain if she can’t enjoy her life like she used to. Just seeing her jaw in that swollen state and see blood dripping out is too much for my family to witness. She also has started changing her sleeping spots to strange areas. Even though currently her body is active it’s only a matter of time before things go more downhill. It may be too much for us to bear to witness such deterioration. We don’t plan to make a decision right away, instead we will consult with the vet and the options available as well as have the vet check her current condition and make decisions based off that.Hi, Just wanted to ask how Momo is doing?
