    Oh my, this has to be so stressful for you. She is so lovely! Prayers for her are on the way, may it not be as bad as you think and tons of healing for her to come.

    I will keep you and Cally in my thoughts that this is nothing too serious. She is so beautiful.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Thanks everyone,We went in and it is her Sternum,What has happend is the sternum is supposed to bend,Well hers grew outward,He said this was something that did not happen overnight.Cally has never been the cuddly kind of cat,She comes to you when she wants attention.So this is why i never noticed this right away.The outcome is never good,Surgery is not an option in her case,It just adds to the problem.And she will have to kept alive by a breathing device,Which i would never do to her.

    So for now she is not suffering in anyway,But the outcome is (i am no good with doctor terms)If she was to jump,or push in her sternum it will go into her airway and damage it,So she will have to be put to sleep,There is nothing they could do for her then.

    So she has to be monitured which will be hard,How do you keep a cat from jumping up or off things??

    I will keep you all updated on her progress,Im going to do some research so i can understand things a bit better,I was frantic when i went in today.So i did not catch but only every other word.

    Thanks for the prayers.

    So sorry to hear about your sweet kitty. She is beautiful. It is never hard to put them down. I just went through this last week with the Labrador love of my life. You definitely have to weigh the options of what quality of life she will have and if she will end up suffering if she injures herself. It is hard to do but I actually feel relieved that I do not have to worry about Casey any longer. She is in Heaven and is happy and healthy again. I worried so much about her the last month that I was getting physically ill myself. Prayers are going out for you and your kitty and family.

    I'm so sorry to hear about your Cally, she is a beautiful girl. I know how hard this is for you. As happylabs say, you have to weigh the options of what quality of life she will have, and these decisions are never easy.

    My best wishes that Callie won't suffer - give her some kisses from us, please!

    (((hugs)))

    Maybe Cally will just limit her own jumping if it causes her pain? Poor baby, she'll be in our prayers.
