My dear Maxwell was just diagnosed with squamus(sp?) cell cancer under his tongue. I am just devastated. I feel so bad for him-I know how bad a mouth ulcer feels. But of course I know that a few all-too short months mfrom now, I will have to make the decision to say goodbye forever. It makes it so hard now. When he doesn't eat I wonder if this is it. When he sleeps a lot I wonder the same. I feel like I'm going to spend the rest of his time with me crying all the time and greiving before he is even gone. All I want is to forget that he is so sick and just enjoy him,just like before. Will it get easier as time goes on? I lost a cat before this one from toxoplasmosis which was never diagnosed until she died, and of corse I grieved for her then for a long time. But not before, not like this.
I'm also having a hard time getting him to eat. All he eats is watered-down lamb baby food, And some of my dinner chicken tonight. He hasn't had a bowel movement for a week. I know that he needs to be fattened up now before the eating really gets painful. Please, any sugggestions as to nutritional needs and appetite enhancers?(or should this be directed to another forum?) I'm sorry this is so long, But I feel better now-at least for the next five minutes...
Also what is this rainbow bridge?
Thanks guys for caring-cat folks need to stick together..
