I've never posted here b4..but wanted to come somewhere where ppl understand what its like to lose a pet...I just got back from the vet alittle awhile ago where I had to make decision on having my cat put to sleep....I didn't go there thinking this was going to happen....She had a mass on her breast....but it had ruptured over night...I right way thought she had an adscess....but in the end it turned out to be an agressive mammary tumor...The vet said they could remove it but in the end it would only buy alittle time and he said it would be very costly...I was shocked ..its not what I was expecting at all...She other wise seemed healthy..she was eating and had no fever..I wanted to take her home but they suggested I didn't since it was a fair size wound..I just wanted alittle time to decide....He said she would probably go down very fast if I took her home...The wound was leaking and was awful....The vet said I was doing what was best for her...and not letting her suffer with "cancer"...for only maybe a few weeks or months....Right now it doesn't seem like I was doing what was best....She was 14.5 yrs old...got her from a farmer who was "getting rid" of his barn cats ...She was about 1 when I got her ...Anyways...I dont wanna ramble to much....I just miss her already....thanks for listening
