I'm so sorry to hear this. This brings back the sad memories of my RB Sunny. He too had a lump in his lower jaw bone and it was also cancer. I decided to just keep him comfortable and then I let him go when he was showing signs of being in too much pain. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent Amber's way. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

Amber is just so gorgeous...what a wonderful loving girl you have.

I agree you are doing the right thing - any treatment possible would be too hard on a kitty her age. Did the vet mention any prednisone as a comfort measure?

I hope she is painfree and comfortable and with you for as long as possible.

Kisses to beautiful Amber.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I decided to just skip the biopsy all together. Amber was so frazzled last night after being sedated for the x-rays and I didn't want to put her through that again. She still has pain meds in her system and she seems to be in fairly good spirits, so I have decided that I will put her to sleep tomorrow before she feels any more pain. She will join Morris and Tiger at the RB.

@ Catty1 - We didn't really discuss any drugs. They gave her an NSAID injection yesterday that is supposed to last a few days.

So...tomorrow another kitty angel will fly up to the RB. This is so sad but for what it's worth, I think you are doing the right thing.

We all know what it's like to lose a furry loved one and we feel your pain and cry with you.

Big hugs...

I'm so sorry to hear about Amber. Losing a fur child is a difficult and horrible thing to go through. Sending prayers to you both during this time.

I am so sorry about Amber. Hold her tightly, whisper sweet nothings in her ear, and let her know she will be forever in your heart. You are doing the right thing, no question about it, it is in Amber's best interest. Her heart will understand, while yours will break. That's the price we must pay, and it is so awful to bear.
