Louise developed acute shortness of breath over several days. I rushed her to the Vet on 08-21-08. After a chest x-ray and two lung taps, she was dx with a large metastatic lung cancer that was wrapped around her lungs and heart. She remained in respiratory distress despite fluid being drawn off. We made the tough choice to end her suffering. All she could do is breath for the last 4 days of her life.
I am sad that I was only able to have her for 16 months. At 17! She was a tough lady. I was able to have a great night with her sleeping on my feet 2 night before she died. She was to weak to climb on the computer desk, so she decided to cuddle up with my feet.
I still have her sister Ginny who seems to be adjusting well to the loss!
