Our husbands deserve medals! Mine has been my rock through this, but when I flash back to that vet visit where we saw the x rays, my inked hubby had tears freely rolling down his cheeks. All the vet techs were so kind to him... I'm sure they've seen it all. He picked up her 1st script and was crying even harder when it said "for cancer" on the bottle. He's shelled out the money for ever conceivable expense without complaint.We know the source of the pain isn't fixed, as the vet reminded us, but we're happy the painkillers are working. I'm also grateful for such a supportive family. My husband picked up extra shifts to help cover the extra vet bills for our two cats. He said they're family too.
We're going to be so sad when Midnight goes, but at least we could make his time with us more comfortable. He is still a little ginger on his legs, but hopefully we can stay ahead of the pain, as the vet put it.
Here's hoping your kitty had a good day too. Watching our little fur friends go through these things is tough, especially when we don't know how much it hurts and where it hurts every time.
And yes, thank you for asking. Toothless had a good day. I took her to the vet this morning for her Fentanyl patch change. They took her into the back exam room and I was shocked when the vet brought her out to me personally. She was confused because Toothless has actually gained some much needed weight and her coat is looking really good (it was dull before). She was thrilled and wanted to know what we are doing. I know gaining weight doesn't mean cancer free, but to me, it means quality of life is good and that's the best I can hope for.
