and more pictures...unfortunately when they finally shaved her, they found lumps (tumors)which they believe are linked to the mammary glands. it may be cancer, or benign...they told me its not a panic... She is happy right now and at this stage, the vet told me that not much can really be done...I'm still trying to wrap my brain around this...I will let you know how it goes.

underneath...if you look at the link above, by the time they feel them, the cancer has already touched other organs....at least according to the vet and if they are indeed cancerous...either way, I will just wait and see. Chemo will not really help at this stage ( according to the vet) and I really can not afford to put her thru this both financially and emotionally.

I will keep positive and hope that they are completely wrong.

She is looking much more comfy, cpietra!

I hope the lumps are benign

My little Tigger has finally crossed the bridge at 4:54 today. She was given a few months to live....3 years ago- I guess she had other plans. In March she lost a lot more weight and was on sub -Q liquids and was given a few days...well she had other plans. She finally decided to give up..enough poking and mushy food....RIP little one. YOu will always be my little Tigger. I wish I knew how old she was. Here is a picture of her little buddy. We never knew if Charlie was a brother or a son...but at the end..he was near her side.

I'm so sorry for your loss, cpietra

What a fighter she was! And so lucky for her that she came to you. Another sweet soul waiting for you at the Bridge.

How is Charlie doing?
