Paxil got to come home!

Paxil managed to keep her breakfast down today. So she got to come home. She's much perkier and lively today. She's a hit at the clinic, all the staff loved her. She's got an amazing temperment--gentle, loving and sweet. They said she never argued with them about anything--IV, pills, going back in her cage. Such a good girl.

I talked to the vet more today and Paxil will be going back in two weeks to get her blood work redone. We will schedule surgery after that, assuming the levels are normal again. Once the tumor is removed, she will send it off for testing. Paxil's prognosis depends on the grade of the tumor. If it's a grade 1, the removal may essentially cure her and her life expectancy is almost normal. Grade 2 is much less predictable. Grade 3 would mean only a few months left with us. My vet suspects a grade 2, given Paxil's other symptoms--weight loss, pancreatitis, vomitting.

I am trying to stay hopeful and not worry too much. She's still here, she's happy and comfortable. I don't want to ruin what time I have with her, however long that may be, by worrying about when she's leaving.

Thanks everyone
