Sick cat
Knuckles, who is sixteen and diabetic, had to go through another trial. I found a lump, and the vet wanted to remove it. So, I allowed it. Well, that surgery resulted in 7 inches of staples. I wanted to cry when I saw it. He is doing very well. There are challenges for me to get his pain meds, and other meds into him. His pain meds have to be applied to his gums, and we fight like mother f'ers to do this. Mostly, it ends up sprayed all over the walls or floor. I am not a good nurse. I know the drill, I could wrap him in a towel, but I don't want to disturb the staples in his skin. So, it has been fun. The vet sent off the growth to determine if is cancer. If it is, I will deal with it. I will not allow him to go through chemo. He is too old to deal with that.
Today was very sunny, so I opened up the inner door of my house and let the sun in. He snoozed an enjoyed the warmth. I want to make every day like that for him. He has been my friend for sixteen years. |
