re: #264 Lidane

Sorry for the loss. :(

I had to put down one of my cats six years ago. She had started favoring one side of her mouth when she ate and was drooling like a fountain, so I took her to the vet.

Turned out she had an oral cancer that had metastasized by the time it had become an obvious problem. She’d gone to the vet regularly, but it probably started off so small that the doctors missed it. By the time it was diagnosed it was too late. I chose to spare her the surgery, which would have removed part of her jaw and put her on a feeding tube. I just got medication to make her last weeks better and took her home.

The morning I put her down, I’d found her in the dryer in a pool of blood. It was horrible. I immediately took her to the vet and had her misery ended. It was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. I was inconsolable for ages.

Oh my!! What a horrible story! Poor Lidane! Poor Kitty!

I think I actually collapsed when they told me my first kitty’s kidneys were failing. But they gave her B12 shots for 4 years and she did pretty well until she just gave out.

My favorite cat, Macho, had a lot of teeth problems, but not cancer. Boy, you never think of that do you?? So awful.
