Let's Do Lunch Community

Please keep us in your thoughts today. We have to take our cat, Pretty Girl, back to the vet today so he can check her ear. What I'm worried about is that it looks like it has started to effect the other ear, too. He's pretty sure its cancer. I have a feeling we might not be bringing her home.  :'(

I'm so sorry that your little family member is in distress!  Pam

It's so hard to lose a family pet. They truly do become your best friend. It was 2 years ago that we lost Missy girl do to cancer of the bladder.......... She was only 5 beautiful air dale, so loving I think of her often still. She is truly missed. I have other dogs but none can ever be replaced as they have their own personalities. I know she is waiting on the other side. Best of luck to you and pretty girl..........You will be in my thoughts..........   Wither

[color=red]UPDATE: Just got back from the vet, and Pretty Girl is coming back home with us, at least for the time being. The dr is checking for some kind of skin allergies that sometimes mimic the skin cancer. He gave her two injections, and wants to see her back in 10 days. If she is not better, then we will have a very hard decision to make.

God is good and His mercies endure forever. Praying this turns out to be a treatable condition

So glad Pretty Girl got to come home.  We are such animal lovers and they are part of our family so we feel your pain.  Our prayers are with Pretty Girl and your family.

Wendy me too ..........animals can be a big part of your life. They are so devoted. Mine really give me a lot of happeness. I just get so sad when I have to say goodbye....It's really like losing a family member. So I really feel the pain of this and I hope PRETTY GIRL IS GOING TO BE OK....WITHER

So far, Pretty Girl is responding to the injections the dr gave her on Friday. Which very well may mean that what we are dealing with is not cancer after all, but extreme skin allergies. The dr said, "If it is cancer, she will not respond to these shots."....Her ear is almost back to normal, all the redness, and scabiness are going away. SO WE ARE HOPEFUL. Just taking one day at a time right now.

So happy to hear this. Guess there was a bit of sunshine in this otherwise bleak day

Oh I am so happy to hear she is recovering.  I know your heart has to be overjoyed seeing her began to come back to normal.

This is such wonderful news! Our pets are so important to us. I will continue to pray that Pretty Girl gets healthier every day.

So happy for you and pretty girl..........Wither

So glad about Pretty Girl.  Country Girl has 4 inside cats--all lovely.  I have 3 dogs with me right now.  I have Country Girl's and our granddaughter's until they get home from Fla.  The cats stayed home, and friends are feeding and etc.  We love animals.    Country Girl

Yay for you and kitty!  Hope all continues to go well for you and her...

Pretty Girl got her pretty ears back, yeah!    I love happy endings!

Yes, Pretty Girl is pretty again! Almost completely healed. I'm still crossing my fingers that all we're dealing with is allergies. I'll be taking her back to the vet in a week or two.
