Halo - Fibrosarcoma from microchip? Update #71

**jennielynn1970** · 08-24-2010, 12:43 PM

Keeping Halo, and you, in my thoughts and prayers. It's just so sad what she has to go through, and as you said, being such a sweet kitty, it's just so unfair.

I hope that you get to hold her again, and tell her how much you love her. I know I wished I could have done that with my Finae. When they go so unexpectedly, it's just inconsolable.

Jenn ~ Thank you for your kind words. I'm so sorry for your loss.

We lost Kuhio unexpectedly. She died alone and scared. It still haunts us.

Microchipping Halo was to make sure that if she was lost, we could find her before she was PTS.

We never dreamed that we would be harming her.

Losing Halo is a long, lingering goodbye.

At this point, I'm not sure which is worse -- unexpectedly or lingering. Both are awful!

At least Halo will be surrounded by loved ones.

A friend is coming by today (I'm still away at work). She is a massage therapist. She has had some success shrinking tumors with a laser treatment. She has tried it on her pets also. We hope that it will make Halo more comfortable.

I'm still praying for a miracle.

Halo had a really bad day yesterday. Nothing we offered her would entice her to eat. She lay on the bed all day not moving. But, she welcomed a couple of scritchy sessions.

Late in the afternoon she started sneezing and breathing hard. I think she's developing an upper respiratory infection. I figured today would be the day to have her put to sleep because I figured she wouldn't be eating (I've heard that cats don't eat if they can't smell the food).

Once again Halo decided to prove me wrong.

She jumped down off the bed and scampered around this morning. Ate a couple of crunchies and some ham baby food. Drank a bunch of water. Hopped in the cat box and dug to China...

Now she's resting comfortably softly purring. The girl is amazing.

We have a session with a pet communicator set up for tomorrow. We had a session last week but Halo wasn't talking. (Cammie talked up a storm, though). After the session, I'll post how it went.

Thank you for all your prayers.

Oh, goodness, Halo, don't scare your mom like that, okay?

She's an amazing cat all right.

She continues to remain in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that the session with the animal communicator will go well and you'll learn what her wishes are and how she's really feeling. Good luck.
