Miss Kitty got backed up

[phesina]

AWWwwwwww.. Miss Kitty, I'm so glad you're getting better. You've got the most wonderful Mom in the world!

{{{{{HUGS}}}}} and ~~~~PURRRS~~~~ and from Pat and Galaxy and Sparkler

Thanks, Pat! Obviously, I meant "emitting".

[phesina]

Yes, that's what I saw it as!

Miss Kitty already smells much better. As crazy cat lady, I'm always smelling my cats, because a different odor probably means something's wrong.

Miss Kitty doing great with the canned pumpkin. I mix it with her wet food, and she gobbles it right up.
So far, she has no problems with her bowel movements.

Two and a half months, after her first enema, Miss Kitty needed another one. The canned pumpkin didn't do enough.
We took x-rays to see the extent of the constipation, and I also wanted to check if the tumor in her lungs had grown. It was found first in December 2018.
Unfortunately, we found a second tumor, and the vet says that most likely it is malignant, and possibly a metastasis from another tumor somewhere in her body.
The only way to know for sure would be an ultrasound.
Miss Kitty is almost 19 now, and I would not put her through chemotherapy, if it was truly cancer.
She doesn't seem to be affected by it, so I will just monitor her, and we will repeat the radiograph in one month.
As for her constipation, she now gets lactulose twice daily.
Miss Kitty is a real trooper, more so than her mom. I was pretty depressed yesterday, but we will make the best of it!

Oh dear - sweet Miss Kitty! You will have an even longer and happy beloved life because of your mom.

Getting older is not for sissies - and you are a determined girl. I wish you much more time with your mom.

Heidi - would a touch of prednisone help keep the tumour down and perk up her appetite?
