Well, we just got back from the vet and we had to put our girl Sugar down, she was worse than we thought, the vet said it looked like the tumor on the left side of her face was bigger although to me it looked like the swelling went down but she said it also was moving down towards her neck more and thought it was affecting her eye, thats why her third eyelid was showing and she said the eye most likely was painful so we felt badly about that but also knew we were making the right decision. Her body weight index thing was a 1 which is the lowest it could be, and when I was sobbing and asked the vet "are you sure it is time?" she said "yes, if this was my cat I would do it", so we held her as she was injected and she went peacefully in a matter of seconds which told us that she was ready to go, she was weary and ready to go and have her sweet soul released, no more tumors or mouth issues or eye issues, that is all gone now and she is fine now, just fine, and when we see her again I told her "it will be tears of joy not sadness" and I think she knew what we were doing and why, she couldn't have gone on like that any longer, but it is so so sad, we were crying our eyes out, this one really hurt, I think because of what she went through when she almost died 4 years ago at that same vet, she was getting a cancerous tumor removed from under her chin and some dental work and she had a HORRIBLE reaction to the anesthesia, they had to drive her to a specialty vet hospital 50 minutes away, and a week and MUCH money later she came home, she lost some eye sight because of a drug they had to give her, it took a few years off of ALL our lives, but she was pretty good until about 2 months ago, she had issues eating but we discovered that she had a mass on the left side of her face, they didn't know if it was a tooth/gum issue or if the cancer came back, but it must've been the cancer returning, they wanted us to take her to a vet dentist 50 minutes away to do a biopsy and we said no, we weren't going to put her through anything at 17 years old and if it was cancer we wouldn't have done chemo or radiation so what was the point? But she lived her time out here, she was getting so thin and the last few days she stopped jumping up onto chairs or the recliner, she would just lay around and we had to bring her food to her, she would wander into the kitchen to drink but then couldn't find her way out, her eyesight was getting really bad, and she would pee in the kitchen, so we knew it was time to get her checked and we did but we knew what was to come....but she is free and fine now, no more pain, no more suffering, just fine.
"Be free sweetheart Sugar, we love you and will miss you but we will see you again someday and it will be wonderful! Have fun at the Bridge with Smoke, Sassy, Serenity, Simon, Skipper, Sebastian and Sabrina" and Sabrina we just lost 9 weeks ago which is really hard too.
"WE LOVE YOU SUGAR!!!!!!" Until we meet again.......
