    Oh Candace, I am so sorry! What a devastating diagnosis. I cried, too.
    I hope the prednisone will make her somewhat comfortable, and you two can enjoy as much time together as possible.

    I am so very sorry, Candace. You have given dearest Zoe the most loving and caring home for such a long time! I hope the prednisone will help. I know you and she treasure the time you have together.

    We are sending loads of love and warm energies to Zoe and you and the other kitties.

    The temporary meds are helping her feel better - she just meowed and growled at Cole!

    Thank you all for your kind thoughts. I'll give Zoe cuddles from you.

    I haven't been able to get a pill down Zoe since Saturday night.

    I have one large liquid syringe and today got liquid cat food with Pred in it down her gullet, 10 ml of water, and then took a warm damp cloth and wiped down her mouth, front legs and chest. Zoe has a marble under her tongue and can't eat or drink (though she wants to!) nor can she groom herself.

    Shortly after that feeding I heard her yell twice at Cole. Good sign! She is now curled up - not hiding - and having a good nap.

    Both vets are at the clinic today; my regular vet is in at 1 pm. I was there this morning to talk to the receptionist I deal with the most. She had no idea about Zoe as she is not there on Fridays.

    Anyway, because Zoe runs and hides (very well) and I can't get a pill into her I have requested a depo-medrol shot for her - long acting Prednisone.

    Because she has been running from me I don't want her still scared when her time is up and I'm holding her.

    I'm waiting to hear from the receptionist.

    Thank you all for your supportive thoughts and prayers.
