Sorry your DS is ill Lemons and your DD Makiwa
Well done Prok
Just had a powercut but seemed to be our house only, don't know what caused it but back on now, can often be a lightbulb going. DH and I were just chatting at time. Doubt DS was doing anything and DD is still in France so guess a lightbulb somewhere.
DH called the vets at 7pm re Silkiecat. She is still in a very bad way and vet was surprised she has held out this long. He will let us know if she survives the night. He has done an ultrasound and no cancer in the bladder but a blood clot he says that cannot be treated due to her age and occasionally they resolve but he's expecting her to die. He wants to re-evaluate in the morning but expecting either to be told she has died or to consider PTS.
DH is completely heartbroken and very angry with himself, but there was nothing more he could have done and she is 17.5. We had a phone call with DD who is still in France, she has been for a walk round a lake inbetween the 2 customary 5 hour meals of about 4,000 calories a day at MIL and we told her as the cat may not be here when she comes back. DD asked us to wait to PTS until she is back but I said it depends what the vet thinks how much she is suffering and she was OK with that. The vet currently says she is not suffering as she is very calm but that is not a sign of a non-suffering Silkiecat, Silkiecat if well would be attacking them all. She is not eating, bleeding still, on oxygen and drips etc, not moving and this morning she did not respond to DH at all.
I am so glad no chemo this week and can feel my feet again and all of me, yay. We are due to go away Thursday to the hotel by the river and now I have no chemo I may be well enough to do the canoeing for an hour and we can go on to West Wales and do a boat trip to by Skomer and see puffins. I won't be up to the 5 hour trip where you walk round the island for 4.5 hours but have booked a 1 hour rib ride for the 3 of us. DD will stay here and pet sit. I have not booked a hotel yet for last 2 nights as waiting news on Silkiecat though DD seems OK with pet sitting and can take to / from vets if needed as its 5 mins walk and she did it once before. She said its fine for us to go away, think she prefers house to herself.
Just having tomato soup and bread and butter. DH normally cooks a dinner but said he was too distressed about the cat but I love the soup anyway. This is the man who didn't really want a cat 17.5 years ago but said he would not stop me buying one for me. DD was going through order of people she liked in the house and then DH told me his order and the cat was highest and I was second.
