Bassett was able to come tonight. The vet says that Bassett is feline leuk/FIV clear, so the problem is either a tumour that isn't throwing off cells, her heart is severely damaged, or she has a ruptured thorasic duct. All her treatments so far have cost me $420 and we aren't done yet. I still have to have her ultrasound done. There is a clinic in Burnaby, BC that I can take her to, but it's VERY expensive. I will call them tomorrow to see what their prices are like, but the vet said that it could be around $1500 for everything they have to do I just want Bassett to be well, and so I'll find the money. Just after having the fluid removed, her breathing is drastically improved. She seems much more at ease. That in itself is a comfort, but I just want her to be ok.

Thank you all for the prayers. Please keep them coming - we aren't out of the woods yet.
