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

[Pinot's Mom]

Moesha, I can't tell you how sorry I am. I know it's very hard, and I know you're doing the best you can for Morgan.

You're in all our prayers and thoughts.

(((((hugs)))))

Oh gosh... not the news you wanted to hear, I know. Poor Morgan.

I hope that things will not get worse, I'll just keep thinking that.

Many prayers going out for you and for Morgan. Gentle hugs and scritchies for him as well.

I'm so sorry to hear the diagnosis. I've been following this thread - hoping for a better prognosis.

My heart breaks for you, as I have been down this same road too many times before. The diagnosis wasn't the same, but the outcome was. Just do what you can for him and keep him comfortable and happy for the time you have left together.

{{{Hugs}}} to you, and a kiss on the nose for Morgan.

Mo, I'm sorry that the diagnosis was the one that you dreaded. Please know that we're w/you all the way and that Morgan and you will always be just a thought away.

Mo,

I'm sorry to hear about Morgan's tumor. It's not your fault. How many people do you know that look in their cat's mouths??? I don't.

Keep Morgan comfortable and love him like you've never loved him before. I hope the doctor can give you something to aleviate the pain.

You and Morgan will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am one of those who reads but hasn't posted much.
First of all, don't beat yourself up. You are doing all you can for your baby and you are a wonderful Meowmie.

I'm so sorry to hear of the diagnosis. Wouldn't it be wonderful if our furfamily to live as long as we do??? Saying good-bye is never easy - I know, I've had to make that decision with my RB Speckles.

All I can offer you at this point is lots of prayers and this:

Thank you so much for the candles. They are so touching.
Actually, the vet tech talked to the vet and they did give me something else for Morgan to help with pain. After the surgery, I asked for pain medicine for him and was given torb something. It is a narcotic that the vet said would knock Morgan out. Wrong! But I do think it helps his surgery pain. At first it was every 12 hours then he increased it to every 6-8 hours. Now that he has the cancer diagnosis confirmed, the vet tech asked if Morgan could have Metacam also since that will help with inflammation as well. There are very few pain medicines that they give to cats because of the liver problems. They said that metacam can damage kidneys, but since we are dealing with a cancer patient with a limited amount of time left, he's getting that also. It is the tiniest amount. I don't think it is more than a drop or two at the most. Right now we just want him to eat and drink. I can tell that he is hungry, but he won't eat anything I have offered him, except plain pill pockets and temptations treats. UNTIL...I remembered that I had a little bit of s/d dry food left from his urine problem episode several months back. He loved that stuff. In fact, he refused to eat his d/m after getting off of the s/d. That's when we switched to the EVO. Anyway, I just put some of that in his bowl and he ate all of it and wanted more. Right now, if he will eat it, I will give it to him. I think I will take him in tomorrow morning to get some fluids and have the vet look in his mouth though. It looks like I may be buying more s/d also. We'll see what the vet says about that. Thanks again everyone!
