thank you from the bottom of my heart Phesina for that lovely message, it really comforted me ,i am finding it so difficult to make any decision , and i will do as you all have suggested, research, talk it over with me vet more before i do anything ,you can be assured of that.

Ellie Mae is a very special and unique kitty, i have never owned one quite like her, she is a fiesty lil madam at times, but not with us, mostly other cats, including her own daughter, but she is full of purrsonality,and that is what i love about her so much, in the pic in my siggy below she almost looks like she is smiling to me, one would never know to look at her what is really going on , would they?

She has lost a little weight since our last visit but it is not major, so that is a good thing, however being on so much steroids you would expect her to become rather fat, not happening, good in some ways, as diabetes is often the end result of that, but again, she is holding her own, she is a little cat in stature anyhow, so we don't want her like my other two girls,rather tubby lol.

At least i have time to think about it all and that sure helps, today she is doing well, she is often very much better after her injection but that only lasts about two weeks, i guess she is not in the same amount of pain, i cannot think of anything worse than having a continuous sore mouth and being hungry and not being able to eat,it so saddens me this lil girl had such an awful life for six years of her life before i got her, i am only happy to say that because i rescued her from that awful woman, she is alive and getting the best i can give her, she would have died ages ago a very slow and painful death, of starvation, it does not even bear thinking about does it?
