Update #92 -- Morgan has no more mouth problems.

[TommyCat]

Prayers and positive thoughts for Morgan and for you in whatever you decide. It's so difficult making a decision on treatment with cancer for our pets. I lost my 16 year old kitty to cancer last year, so I know what you're going thru with Morgan and trying to do the right thing for him.

I'm so sorry to hear this latest news. Hopefully the biopsy results will bring some good news and if not then hopefully there will still be some kind of treatment for him to help his quality of life. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent his way. I know you'll do what's best for him. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Good to hear Morgan is back. Tigris' biopsy results will not be back before 4-5 days so we both are waiting. But Tigris comes home too tonight so at least we have our babies and they are not under immediate threat.
I am totally with you about treatment. I already feel very bad that Tigris needed to have that biopsy but how could I have gone on with not even knowing what he had?

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way for your dear boy.

Thanks again.

He is hungry. He cries for food and tries to eat, but his mouth is obviously bothering him. He'll only eat maybe a bite or two. I have a smorgasbord of food out for him to choose from. I'm going to go and get some chicken breasts to boil for him. Maybe he'll be able to eat that and I can use the broth from the chicken to soften his dry food some and entice him to eat a little more of that. I do have pain medicine to give him twice a day. I'm trying to wait a little longer so that he'll sleep while I'm gone. And then his second dosage will be more toward the evening for him to be able to sleep at night as well. I'm also picking up some of the EVO canned food later this afternoon. I don't know what else to do.

Other than the eating problem, he is himself. He came in and sat with me first thing this morning and purred. This is so hard.

Mo I'm so sorry to hear about Morgan.

Prays are coming your way.

Pureed or baby food; he probably can't handle anything else. You might also have to hand (spoon) feed. I know how tough this is - I'm sorry.

Thanks again.

He was able to eat a little a/d food that I picked up at the vet's office and also some kitten milk. The vet said that as long as he is drinking he can go a day or so without worrying about food. He is so hungry though. He also said that I could increase his pain medicine from twice a day to every 6-8 hours. It'll just take a few days for that sore in his mouth to heal up. It doesn't seem to bother him, unless he is trying to eat. Thanks for reminding me about the baby food idea. I know I looked locally for plain chicken baby food but couldn't find any. My neighbor has a baby that she feeds only organic baby food. Perhaps I'll ask her if she has any chicken I could get from her. At least he has had some nutrition today, although it hasn't been a lot.
