Just got back.... sad sad

Oreo has worsened considerably in the past 2 wks. Her neck is swollen (can't meow) and her abdominal mass is far bigger with a new bud on it the size of an egg.

Our vet doesn't think she will make a 5 wk trip. He said a high dose pred would probably take down her throat, but not the abdominal mass. Since is would be a long trip to find a vet open in the boonies, she could be in considerable pain if that emergency occurred. (which he thinks will). The vet thinks since this sudden turn for the worst happened so quickly that it will continue quickly. It is therefore going to be a painful vacation for her.

So after discussing with hubby by phone, he finally agreed and
he will take her back at 3:30 for the euthanasia.

I am very sad and wrecked over this. Our other old cats died 2 months apart a year and a half ago!
This photo is of all 3 of them on our porch upNorth not too long ago on vacation, when they were still a threesome. They are looking to see if the "dreaded" dog would be coming down the path to us, from a cousin's place. LOL It is a funny photo.
