Gaga's Bulging Epic Battle......

ladygaga said:
Thanks Carly xx

Well Gaga is in a right teary mess yet again and all over beloved old puss. Just been back to the vets, yet again as her other toe next to the amputated one has started to go exactly the same as the other. Vet is convinced it is cancer spreading and wants to remover her whole leg!!! I'm truly gutted and feel like I am being cruel by doing nothing and even crueller by putting an 18 year old puss through an amputation. I'm so messed up. She keeps looking at me as if she knows!! (i know she doesn't but it is melting my heart!)

What is a girl to do! The vet said if it was her cat she would do the op tomorrow. Decided to dose up her pain killers and see how she goes but as soon as it worsens I think she will have to go in for operation leg-off. Vet will do a chest xray first and if she has lung tumours then she won't operate and then guess we will have to face other decisions.

I'm truly gutted and so upset. Sorry to whinge and sorrry for any non-cat lovers out there reading this. I don't have babies and my kitties are my world and I love them to bits. Anyone been through anything similar? Just looked online and it's made it worse seeing photos and reading how different her life will be.

Big hugs to all my MM friends from a blubbery Gaga wreck xxx

Oh sweetheart :(
Yeah I know how you feel, always had cats myself.
I'd do the op Hun if it were me I know it won't be nice at first, but it will stop the pain and pets like cats and dogs do deal really well with losing a limb I know lots of people who's pets have had it done, one of my very close friends cats got run over and they amputated his front leg and as soon as he healed he was up and about and it didn't seem to bother him at all
I am so sorry babe must be awful for you x if there is anything I can do
I also suggest buying her some really expensive fish as a treat for her (will make you feel better x)
 
Thanks for your support ladies- it truly means a lot. Puss has been on the expensive food ever since her last op so is truly getting spoilt that way!! It just breaks my heart looking at her and thinking what I'm about to put her through. I went upstairs for a big sob on my bed and my other puss came up and sat on me and gave me big snuggles. I'm such a loser hey!

I'll man up tomorrow I promise. Just had another shake so at least I haven't caved in on that front!

Lovely idea ladyg, I'm celebrating today because I'm back on the wagon and back in the 13's. It feels great to be back with you guys, I missed you.

Yay....love that one Rachel. We missed you too and it's great to have the skinny vicar to be back too xxxx
 
How are things today Gaga ?
:)
 
Thanks again guys- loving the virtual hugs and snogs! They feel the best.

No change here really. Was so tearful on Tuesday but felt a biot stronger yesterday. Puss is still the same really- clearly she has no idea what is ahead of her. Jubbie and I will chat about it at the weekend and come up with a plan of action but seems pretty likely that the leg will have to go bless her. Real tough emotional decision as trying to weigh up her age, quality of life etc.

So diet wise I am happy to report that I haven't crumbled. Sticking to 2 shakes but have had 2 bars the past 2 days but hey ho. I can live with that. I'm really desperate to be in the 14's now so I feel that is keeping me on track for the moment.

Today is my chill out day so am hoping to do just that. Hope everyone else is doing ok. Much love xxxxxx
