Sugarplum’s dying. The cancer has metastasized, and is now in her lungs.
There’s not much I can do for her now but keep her comfortable, love her and wait for her to tell me when she’s had enough.
At least I don’t have to worry about how stressed out she’d get by a potentially cross-country move, since she’s not going to last that long.
I’m so very sorry, zuzu.
I’m also very sorry, zuzu.
I’m so sorry zuzu. I’ve lost several pets, one to cancer a year and a half after getting major surgery to try to remove the tumor. My thoughts are with you.
I’m very sorry to hear this as well, zuzu. I know you will do your best to make Sugarplum’s time as comfortable and as loving as possible.
Thanks, all. I’ve known this was coming since last June — and we’d already had a near-death experience in November 2008 — but it doesn’t make it easy to take.
Her lungs were clear in April, which is why I went ahead with the surgery, but they’re a mess now.
I’m so sorry.
Sorry to hear. Sad news.
warm thoughts for you & sugarplum. may she be comfortable & happy with you in her final days.
