So I haven’t talked a whole lot about either of my cats but I have mentioned them, Izzy (turned 9 recently) and Toby (I think around 2). I mentioned in another thread, a few days ago, that I was worried about one of them (that being Izzy). She wasn’t eating and she wouldn’t put weight on one of her legs. My parents took her to the vet, who did tests, and we just got the results back, and found out she has bone cancer.
They said they could amputate and potentially do chemotherapy, which combined would give her 1-4 more years, while amputation alone would give her 3-5 months.
Unfortunately, we can’t afford both the amputation and chemotherapy, so they’re going to amputate without the chemo.
This was honestly really hard for me to type out, and I was debating not making this topic, but I could use some encouragement right now.
Awww, this is so sad! I don’t know what to say, but I’m so sorry for you and especially for your poor kitty. We have one to four cats, depending on how you regard strays who live on our front porch, so I know how it feels to love felines.
Gosh, I hope the rest of Izzy’s life is pleasant and happy despite the cancer. Can they give her pain medication so she at least doesn’t have to suffer much pain?
I hope that Izzy is able to live as long as she can without pain. My nana’s cat died due to heart complications a few years ago, I cannot imagine the pain of losing your own cat.
I’m sorry for what Izzy, you, and your family are going through right now. That’s got to be really rough to see and deal with.
I was debating whether or not to say this, but I thought it might give you some hope so I’ve decided to. My roommates and I used to have a three-legged dog. He got around pretty well! I’ve got my fingers crossed that Izzy will adapt to it well! Cats are very intelligent and good at adapting in general!
