Vet just called. Mitzi has an Osteosarcoma – bone tumor which is more common in dogs than in cats. They are doing a chest X-ray to check for metastases to see if she would be a candidate for the amputation surgery.

If she is a candidate for the surgery I cannot afford it - it will run close to $3,000 which I do not have. I'm in a debt management program and am not allowed to incur new debt.

I probably wouldn't qualify for iMom - I don't even know if they're still around.

I am so sad right now. She will at least get to spend the night at home with me tonight. I will try to make her comfortable but I am just so scared that I am losing my baby girl.
