(Update!! 6/15) Jheri has a hernia

[Karen]

So good to hear happy news! The power of Pet Talk prayers, indeed!

She's still doing well. . .eating like a champ. The lump is still there, and it gets larger then smaller. She and Sergio were doing the nasty again yesterday so she can't feel too badly. She is in her fuzzy hut a lot more again, looks like nesting behavior so I guess she's not finished yet, but I wish it would end!! It takes so much out of her. But I'm just grateful that she is doing so much better.

I'm glad she's doing better!! Pinot sends purrs, but I don't know if they would be appreciated...

Well, the hernia has gotten quite big at this point, and although Jheri is still fairly active and eating well, I don't feel that I can ignore it any longer. I have made an appt with our vet for May 8 at 9:30 so that he can look at her and help me make my decision on what to do next. I know surgery is pretty much out of the question - it will kill her. I would rather have her cross the Rainbow Bridge quietly before her bowel twists or something like that. I am very sad

Odd how it keeps coming and going isn't it? very wise to seek professional advice. Will be thinking of you both on the day

[Karen]

We'll keep Jheri in our prayers.

I made the vet appt for this coming Saturday. I'm afraid I know what the outcome will be. This is very difficult.
