Diagnosis is large tumor in is right lung. Going to start him on Peroxicam this weekend.

10:41 am

bichon

I am so sorry to hear that Judi. Best hopes for improvement

10:43 am

Judi

It will be a paliative treatment at best. However, he is not in any pain or having any difficulties. Just his ornery old self. We'll try the meds and try to get more weight back on him.

10:44 am

car.eeyore

((Norman))

10:45 am

Judi

Ty, car. He is usually averse to hugs, but I will be forcing myself on him ( in a good way, of course).

10:45 am

car.eeyore

Of course!

10:45 am

car.eeyore

How are you holding up?

10:46 am

I have already bought him lots of canned food and kitten milk (for hydration).

10:46 am

car.eeyore

10:46 am

Judi

I am fine. Saddened, but resolved to give him the best in his remaining time.

10:47 am

car.eeyore

((judi))

10:47 am

Judi

In reality, he adopted us and has just been using us for food and a roof over his head for the past 10 years.

10:48 am

Judi

He would probably say that I force him to purr whenever I pet or brush him.

10:49 am

car.eeyore

Cat in charge...seems about right to me!

10:49 am

car.eeyore

It's how my house is, anyway

10:50 am

Judi

We live to open the slider door any time he wants to go out or come in. Oh, how we bow and scrape.

10:50 am

car.eeyore

Our slider is broken and thus allows the same access for my cats.

10:51 am

car.eeyore

Even when I reset it in the runner, the little one bumps it back out again so he can come and go as he pleases.

10:51 am

Judi

Smart kitty!

Wow. Noon snuck up on me. Time to go to lunch. *POOF*
