After losing her brother 7 months ago to lymphoma, my 13 year-old sweet little girl has been tentatively diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma. I'm heartbroken. The vet did a biopsy, but I get the feeling it's just to confirm what she already knows.
She was given a steroid injection to reduce swelling, and we have her on gabapentin for pain control. I was wondering if others who've been through this have any suggestions for making her as comfortable as possible for the time she has left. Should I get baby food for her to eat? What palliative treatments have worked best?
