I just saw this thread... so sorry to hear about Bassett again! what is the illness that she has? what kind of surgery will they do? I mean I know it's her lungs, but what will they do?

I will light a candle for her to get over this fluid on the lungs problem, and I hope she starts getting better soon!
how old is Bassett?
take care of yourself too, I know how upsetting it is to watch a cat's health daily.
