Naomi and Bassett-
My prayers are with you at this very emotional time. I think your answers will come to you, as this unfolds. I only want to know Bassett isn't in any discomfort.
Hugs,
Johanna

Really can't add anything to what has been said already. I would rely quite heavily on my vet's own opinion. As an animal lover, I would be prepared to spend any money I had to help them, but on the other hand, I wouldn't do anything to keep an animal alive if I thought they would have no quality of life. You love Bassett and are seeing her every day. You will make the best decision for her. We are all here for you.
Praying for you both.

Bassett had another drain today, and the fluid was pink That means there is blood in it. Hopefully, it's nothing more serious than there is irritation in the pleural cavity and there is some slight bleeding. God.. I just want this to be all over

Hugs to you and Bassett. I know how you feel. Hang in there. We are praying.

I didn't know there was 2 threads... I just posted on the other one, I will copy it onto here...

ok here is the post from the other thread.,,,

Naomi
as I was reading this, I thought wow she really did explain it very well to you...because it seems to be explained so well in your post.
the first thing I wondered about it, was the 30-50% success rate.
you need to know, does that mean 30-50% as in her chances of making it THRU the surgery?? or does it mean her chances of the surgery helping? be very sure to find out what the chances are of something going wrong during a surgery like that...I don't want to scare you, but it is something to think about. that sounds like a extremely serious surgery! but she is only 4 yrs old(right?) so I would also be leaning toward wanting to have the surgery done on her if she were my cat.
also, can the vet give you information on other cats that have had that done, or do they know of anyone, maybe other vets have had patients with that disease? try the universities, maybe they have info on it. vet universities etc.
and, after the intensive care, how long til a complete reccovery?
will she be able to do normal activities and play after she is recovered? is there any known downside to life after the surgery?

that's all I can think of right now, but I will let you know if I think of anything else. you have SO MUCH to think about and so much worry, can I help you in any way, like with find/gathering info from universites and the interent? PLEASE let me know, I would be glad to .

[marysmerrycats]

also I wonder, would you vet let you make some kind of payment plan?

Richard had a good idea...thats what I meant about the universites but I don't think I stated it as clear.

Actually, this is going to sound kinda weird but I dreamt of Bassett last night. In fact I dreamt that because my balcony door is open all the stray cats came in and my 2 bdrm apt was run amuck with kitties and one of them was Bassett (must stop eating cheese before going to bed ) Anyway, I'll be checking in all day for an update too.
