    hepatic lipidosis & hospice scheduled tomorrow - is it time to stop force feeding or is there hope still??

    Thank you so much...for everything. You and everyone else on this thread that helped me get by. I feel better today than last week. I heard Lulu the next morning after I put her down. There's a particular part of the kitchen that would creak right as Lulu walked over it and entered my...

    Oh gosh, and I am sorry for your loss!! I had really hoped Dexter would make it. But it seems you made the right decision and the necropsy must have made you feel at peace with that decision. I was always fascinated with the bonds that scientists would make with animals in the wild. It's a...

    Ugh...so it's taken me all of over a week to muster the strength to post this... But I wanted to tie loose ends as a means of a closing a chapter. I want to thank all of you amazingly supportive people. This thread has been beyond therapeutic and helpful for me. I wrote in it like a journal...

    Sorry Fiona, I missed this post. I think it was received at a time where there was a complete change in QOL for Lulu. I'm going to add in the thread separately. Thank you for your support.

    It is good days and bad days or more like good moments and bad moments throughout the day. Would you say a bad day is when she looks bad the entire day? Honest question as I really struggle to know the difference. It's sunny out today and instead of sitting by the window, she's been hiding in...

    yes, someone cleared up that confusion with the SCC biopsy report to me. Not sure why the integrative vet definitely ruled out cancer with it other than she wanted me to continue treatment for my cat. Lulu has lost teeth to FTR. In fact, the growth began directly over where she was missing...

    Hi cat nap ❤ Thank you for thinking of us... Unfortunately, Lulu is rapidly declining. I tried to give her the antibiotics again as I cannot shake this feeling that it was a bone infection and not bone cancer. I could have sworn that the growth was growing even faster on antibiotics and after...

    Can gingival hyperplasia still be OSCC (oral squamous cell carcinoma) or osteomyelitis in a cat?? I'm running out of time. :(

    Thank you. ❤ Lulu is 14 years old. Pretty much zero problems (minus the chronic vomiting which has resolved) up until 8 months ago. I would agree with you - I say my cat is like a Volkswagon. Once one thing goes wrong, everything falls apart. But I disagree that this is the end of the line...

    Can gingival hyperplasia still be OSCC (oral squamous cell carcinoma) or osteomyelitis in a cat?? I'm running out of time. :(

    Thank you so much for your quick response. This has all been very trying for me. Lulu's medical trauma started 6-8 months ago with the onset of acute vomiting which was probably IBD undiagnosed (despite repeatedly telling multiple vets that she had chronic vomiting for years - was even told by...

    Can gingival hyperplasia still be OSCC (oral squamous cell carcinoma) or osteomyelitis in a cat?? I'm running out of time. :(

    My cat just survived fatty liver/possibly triaditis, but before her liver enzymes were back to normal she started having dental pain again. I say again, because she has had severe dental issues for a while that I urged her last vet to address but he had me put off for 3 months to evaluate her...

    hepatic lipidosis & hospice scheduled tomorrow - is it time to stop force feeding or is there hope still??

    Ok - so I thought this was good news but then a couple other people rained on my parade by saying it wasn't enough. Lulu's biopsy came back as negative for SCC! But positive for gingival hyperplasia. The mobile vet says that is good news. The primary and the dental specialist were not in the...

    hepatic lipidosis & hospice scheduled tomorrow - is it time to stop force feeding or is there hope still??

    That's interesting - is that true that many IBD cats develop SCC? I don't know for sure if Lulu is now intolerant to pork and rabbit. They were the only proteins she could have pre- fatty liver. But ever since that episode, it's been difficult to transition her off of the CN rx to see what...

    I'm always so impressed by how much those of you who have replied to this thread remember. You remember all the little details. ❤️ I suffer from brain fog but even when I scroll back to try and remember details, it's all so hazy. It means so much to me that you have been this invested in my...

    hepatic lipidosis & hospice scheduled tomorrow - is it time to stop force feeding or is there hope still??

    Thank you. I feel sorry for her that she has to go through this. 😔 Just seems so unfair for her. But who knows - maybe she hasn't used up all her lives yet. The clindamycin seems to make her feel ill so I won't keep her on it long. At the end of the day, it was worth it to get her out of fatty...

    hepatic lipidosis & hospice scheduled tomorrow - is it time to stop force feeding or is there hope still??

    Ask away :) As devastating as all of this has been for me, it is just as fascinating. I have medical issues, myself. Western medicine failed me and at some point I had to do all of my own research to understand what was happening in my body. I used my own health timeline, my bloodwork, diary...
