For the last 3 days Tigger has been declining. She has stopped bathing and is eating and drinking very little. It has been in the back of my mind since yesterday that something is very wrong.

Tigger has always been a very tiny cat...you can always feel her spine but yesterday it was different...I could feel every bone in her spine and back end. She has always slept between Mark and I and last night she did not move from the couch.

I called the vet this morning and I have just returned....she is full of cancer. Her intestines and spleen, there is nothing surgically or chemotherapy wise that can be done. I had Dr. Berard do x-rays and blood work to see where we stand with that and then I will make the decision after that. I left Tigger at the vets to get some sub-q fluids and I will go back to bring her home tonight....I want as much time left with her as possible.

I'm crushed. I can not stop crying. I have had Tigger for 13 years...she is my Princess.

Could I please ask for some good thoughts and prayers for her and for me as well. I know that I will not let her suffer, but I need to find the courage to let her go.

Thanks Meg and Tigger
First of all, I am sooooo sorry, so sorry for such a blow!!!(also sorry that I haven't learned how to properly quote here )

I'm getting what Pet Talk people refer to as LES ( better know as Leaking Eye Syndrome)

I will , most certainly, keep you in my earnest prayers for the courage to embrace this chapter in your life with Tigger!
