Venus' Cancer

Cancer Returned

Poor Venus' cancer returned. Now she's miserable. She's in pain. She's been chewing on the knot. Her fur looks terrible. She moves slowly. Her breathing is obviously labored. She hasn't eaten in days. There also seems to be a problem w/ her eye. It was swollen for a day or two and when the swelling went down it was fully dialated. Then she started holding it closed. Called the vet and was advised to end her suffering tomorrow (1/13/10). She will be missed by her family.

Venus was diagnosed with Breast Cancer

We found a lump. It got larger and harder. She started sitting funny like it was in her way. She never complained or acted any different than usual. It didn't seem to bother her much, but we were concerned and took her to the doc. The doc wanted to test her as soon as possible for an agressive type of breast cancer and sure enough that's what it was. She removed the tumor and Venus had to wear a cone for awhile so she wouldn't eat her stitches. She really didn't like that cone at all! It was in her way and she couldn't do much without help. That's not good for an independant cat! It drove her nuts. The cone is off now and the site has healed. The doc says to keep and eye on her cause it could come back. Please pray for Venus so that the cancer will not return. She is the only little girl that I have. Thank you!
