I have to take my beautiful Belle to the vet soon. She has not had a good night, or day and is now finding it difficult to eat.

I feel that it might be her time, and I am just so dreading it.

We have shared so much love.. she is around 18 maybe older, and had been through the mill a bit before she found us, but she has been content and happy until early this morning.

Love, and thank you,

Daff xxxx

Oh Daff - i got tears welling up just reading that

Big (((hugs))) for you both - it's a hard time when your pet grows old and frail.

Just spend some quality time spoiling and fussing her xxx

Hi Daff,

Fingers crossed for you, I know how hard this must be to do , but whatever the outcome, she knows how much you love her, and has had a wonderful life with you ......

((((((((((((((((((( HUGS ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

ahh daff i know how much they mean to you i too am in tears thinking off you and belle will have the peace she needs now what a lovely life she has had with such a caring mum xxxxxx

a big hug 4 our daft xx

Thank you so much, all of you..... I have brought her home... it isn't her time just now, thank goodness... I am still all tearful, daft bat that I am!!

Vet gave her some painkiller, a bigger dose than she has been having. We then waited 10 minutes for it to start working, and we tried her with some special food that is used for convalescing cats. Belle managed to eat it... it took her a while, but she has eaten.

We decided that as her tumour is benign even though it is growing, all her other functions are very good, she is not ill as such, just unable to eat when she is in pain. We have proven that once there is no pain, she can eat... she has only lost 100 grammes since last month, so we are doing something right.

The criteria now is that we will make the decision when the new dose of painkiller she is now on no longer works, and she is totally unable to eat or drink. Any higher a dose would kill her anyway, so it is a careful balancing act.

So we have a little more quality time with her, thank goodness.

Positive thinking really does work... she was feeling really sorry for herself, but has perked up no end now!

Love and ((((hugs)))))) to you all

I'm so glad she came home with you Daff, what a relief!!!! ........I'm sure that you will enjoy each other for a while yet. xx

Thanks, Muffy and Bobtail.. I am grizzling like a great big wuzz, lol... and grinning ear to ear...

I have to go back to the vet... I left my card in the machine, that's how shook up I was, lol!

Love

Daff xxxx

So happy for you...both :))

Long as she is happy painfree and can eat,thats the main thing.

Marion

It's the sad look they give you and you wish you ask them if they have pain.At least with children they can tell you.
I hope you have some more quality time with her.

LOLOLOL what you like Daff.......leaving your card in the machine !!!!

I don't blame you for having a sob though xx
