Just Hanging out and a question

Julie: I agreed to pose as mum seems to like 

taking pictures of me.

See...sometimes I will co-operate!

 

This is a really nice place to relax. It is soft and comfy and 

nicely lit in the evening.

I just like to hang around, keep mum company

and relax. Life is pretty good.

 Question from the mum:

 The Vet called to say that the  lump removed from

Julie is cancer. The Vet says

"removing her other mammary chain or doing chemotherapy 

can dramatically increase her survival time."

The chemotherapy that is used for this is doxorubicin and I have used this several times in dogs with lymphoma. It is given by placing an IV catheter and slowly infusing the medication. We usually keep them in the hospital for the day and monitor an ECG. This is done once every 3 weeks for a total of 5 treatments. Cats and dogs tolerate chemotherapy better than humans and don't tend to have as many side effects.

Any thoughts or advice if anyone has gone through this?

Julie is about 13 and I am not ready to lose her.

I also so not want her to be stressed.

I want her to be happy with whatever time she has.

Monday Musings with Georgia

Georgia: Hi friends. As yo can see, I am having a relax 

on this very comfy blankie. I also have something to tell you.

A while ago I had my annual check up.

Based on things mum told the Vet she decided to test my pee.

See, I was not hungry at breakfast and would run

away when mum wanted to give me breakfast.

Our Vet does the test in house so we knew the results

a few hours after the test. Mum just needed to think about

the results for a while.

The Vet said I had a lot of calcium in my pee.

This can be an indicator of a tumor.

The Vet decided that a high protein diet would be good for me

and she also gave mum an appetite stimulant for me.

Well, I loved the food and never did need the stimulant.

We will see how things go at my semi-annual check.

For now, we are not going to worry.

Whew! That was a lot to say.

I think I will go back to relaxing now.

JJ is very good at relaxing. He has a favourite spot

by the fireplace and sleeps there a lot.

You can see how happy he is.

Earl the Squirrel is also happy.

The birdfeeder is full of seeds and he is eating as fast as he can!

Julie was spending some time window gazing.
