    The vet says most of Scooter Bugs blood work is normal. The only thing that is "slightly" high has to do with his liver. Vet says this could be b/c of an infection (which we are going to treat with antibiotics) or something worse, such as fatty liver disease or a possible tumor. I will have all of the test results in-hand tomorrow so I can ask everyone questions... I just want to know the best decision to make regarding my sweet kitty.

    Vet says one of the possibilities that comes into play is Cancer. I am not ready to think about that option... so pray the antibiotics make my baby boy well.
    My heart is breaking. Scooter is still so very weak and appears to be thinner. The round of antibiotics didn't help. He is still so happy though, and the instant he gets snuggled up to me he starts purring. My eyes are nearly swollen shut from crying. I can't bear the thought of not snuggling with my baby.

    I am so afraid it's almost time to make the decision and let him go.

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
    Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.
    Farewell & Godspeed, sweet Jadie Francine. You took a piece of my heart with you. 11/2002 - 8/8/2016

    LES Your Scooter Bug reminds me so much of my Taz. I just posted in his memorial thread yesterday since its been 6 months now that I let him go. Yet I feel your pain like it was just yesterday I said goodbye.
    I am so sorry. I do not like hearing how so many of us have had to go through this here lately. I relive it with each and every person all over again.

    Hugs to you Crystal and hugs to Scooter too.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I sure hope this isn't the case, Crystal, but if so, you'll get through it somehow and w/lots of help and love from PTers, that's for sure. Having just been through it myself last week, the pain is still fresh for me, so I know how raw it is for you right now. (((HUGS)))
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Oh my- I am so sorry about Scooter. We lost our Tigris to cancer of the liver and the peritoneum in September- it all went very fast.
    I hope that whatever it is he may be a happy snuggling kitty for some time to come.

    I wonder whether Scooter Bug might find kitten food tempting?

    Love, Columbine

    He doesn't even find canned tuna tempting these days.

    I am just worried that he's going to start showing signs of suffering (hurting, etc) and I won't have money to take him to the vet. I'll go days without eating if I have to, but he will have to come first.
