Our lovely girl is only four. She’s had a really hard life. When she was just one year old she was shot in our garden with a BB gun, which ultimately led to having to get her front leg amputated. Since then it’s all gone downhill. She’s had happy times, especially outside in the garden (we’ve since moved out of London) and in particular loves cuddling me and my husband. But she’s never been the same since. She’s had repetitive issues with her back leg and we’ve recently found out she has a tumour in it. The vet thought it was malignant so we’ve been giving her anti inflammatories and painkillers. Over the last few months we’ve noticed she’s not putting any weight at all on the back leg so is using just two legs to get around. She rarely goes outside, especially now it’s colder and darker. She eats well and still purrs, coming down for cuddles once our son has gone to bed. But a few weeks ago we noticed a lot of blood coming from her mouth. My OH checked it out and it stopped. Took her in to the vet this morning for flea and worming treatment and a general check of her hind leg. Due to Covid I couldn’t go in with her. Vet comes out and says she has multiple issues and is obviously in a great deal of pain. He thinks she now has cancer in her mouth and said she’s very thin. He said we need to decide whether to get X-rays and biopsies done to see exactly what it is (although regardless of this she couldn’t live without another leg) or have her put to sleep. I have spent the entire day crying. I feel so sad for her. Such a short, sweet life. Please can anyone give me advice on how to get through this.
