- Melody update
kass_rants- December 13th, 2013
Melody has pneumonia, not metastatic cancer that's reached her lungs. Very relieved at the moment, even though she's showing no interest in food. We really though we were going to say goodbye to her this morning, but her bloodwork is all clean except for an infection. Azithromycin to the rescue!
But better a treatable pneumonia than that other thing!
Sending you good thoughts....
She's had one dose of antibiotics and is more placid than she's been in a week.
may she heal quickly and be back to her normal bossy self.
She's a little distressed this evening what with trying to get into the right posture to breathe and all. But she's eating again. And she's much calmer than she has been.
She's coughing and fussing a bit, but she's eating a little and she's much less restless than she was earlier this week.
hugs to you...(Emma is doing much better, too! yay, antibiotics!)
Whew!
Please give her gentle pats for me! :)
Re: Whew!
I have to tell you -- it was quite distressing when we found out she wasn't breathing in the left side of her chest. I mean, we went in because she was having leg pain! Then we saw this X-ray with this huge mass obscuring the left lung. Could have been metastatic cancer or fluid. We were sure it was cancer because she had her right foreleg amputated six months ago. But when they ran her blood samples, there was no way it was cancer. It couldn't have metastasized and not shown up in her bloodwork at all. So it had to be an infection. It was really like getting pulled back from the edge of a cliff.
