    Thank you all so much for thinking of Jessica.

    She had her ultrasound today and it showed neither a heart problem nor cancer. Jessica has severe peritonitis and a lot of general inflammation. They were suspicious that there may be a leakage from the gall bladder. Any treatment would involve hospitalising her, administering a lot of antibiotic, testing the fluid in her abdomen, and taking it from there.

    We have thought about it a lot, but in view of the fact that Jessica hates being handled and is at least 18, very possibly 19 or 20, we do not propose to put her through further testing. The way she is just now there is no guarantee that she would last until the results came back. I think it is time to accept that we have to let her go.

    She has had several delicious small meals of poached salmon today and she seems reasonably comfortable. We have an appointment with the vet tomorrow afternoon.

    Karen, I saw this thread earlier in the day, but I didn't have time to post.
    I have just returned and found your latest entry.

    My heart goes out to you so much. Oh sure, you are doing what is right and good for her - but what about you? Losing her after all of these years is still huge and I wish I could comfort you somehow.

    I will light a candle that she has a gentle passing and that our Phred is right there to ease her entry into the Rainbow Bridge as delicately as possible.

    Much love to you.

    Karen ~ Gentle hugs for you both.
    I'm so sorry the news isn't better.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    Karen and Jessica, hugs and gentle pets to you.
