« "I've never seen stones so big in a cat before!" | Main | My Goodness!!! »

I went to visit her at the vet and she didn't look well AT ALL. Jeeez, it's like an emotional rollercoaster. She didn't want to be moved from the cage and she couldn't seem to use her forearms to push herself around. I just sat and pet her and she purred and wimpered. I wanted to cry. She put her head face down again, and so I cradled her head in my hand while she went to sleep. It seemed like she was in a lot of pain while she tried to breathe. Once she fell asleep her breathing calmed down. I waited for a few minutes, then removed my hand and went home. I felt like the weight of the world had crashed down again.

I had to go back at 4:30 to talk to the vet. She was suddenly bright eyed again. Gosh, Phoebe, just make up your mind, I can't take this!! So she came out to get more fluids in her and then we got to take her home. The vet isn't really sure yet what we're going to do. It seems to me like... he doesn't want to say... I'm not really sure. But I had Buffy with me this time so I didn't want to ask her likely chances. We took her home and she's just resting in her carrier box.

Tomorrow she has to go back for another shot and more fluids. We have to fatten her up some how and get her strength back, but I'm not sure if that is enough... I can't quite get an exact answer out of the vet, but I guess because first thing we have to fatten her back up.

Some people mentioned how I can at least pay for her vet bills now, and that is something I am definitely aware of. My mom and dad did everything for their pets and they always gave me money when I needed to care for ours. So I already thought about it and know it would be okay to pay for the surgery if she gets well enough. I am very very glad I am able to pay for al these visits because they are already adding up, I'm so grateful I don't have the financial stress on top of it all. Would I pay $10,000 on her? No. But if this surgery can make her well then I will pay $1000 or a little more for it. Hopefully there is Something we can do, that is all. Thanks everyone for your good thoughts.

More important, I have a friend at work whose 15 year old daughter has found a lump in her breast. They won't have results for a few days. Although the doctor has tried to reassure the mother, she is freaked out, of course. So good thoughts for them both please.
