Hello everyone,
Today I had to put Gracie, my 5 yr old angora to sleep. I posted awhile
back that she had adrenal surgery and was doing fine. Then about 2 days
ago, I noticed her belly was distended and I took her back to my vet. He
did x-rays and saw a huge mass. Today when he opened her up, he called me
right then to say there were tumors everywhere and it did not look good.
He wanted to know what I wanted to do. I knew he could debulk them but it
would be hard and then it would just happen again most likely and Gracie
would suffer. I wanted to have him just close her up and give her back to
me but that would of been selfish. I felt this was enough so we let her
go. Those tumors came back so fast and with a vengence.
I am so angry. Its not all the money spent on her surgeries but that fact
I really loved Gracie. She was special. She was so pretty, smart and
funny and our only girl. When we first got her, she was a biter, but we
worked through that. She liked to tip the cats water dish over all the
time. Anytime you heard a crash, you could bet Gracie was somewhere
nearby. For being small, she was quite strong and could move furniture.
If I wasn't paying attention to her, she would crawl right up my leg to
say "Give me a treat right now!". She had beautiful long hair, she looked
like a ferret having a bad hair day. And she had that cute extra fold of
skin in her nose. I will miss my Gracie.
Thanks for letting me share, Ingrid and now 4 fuzzies in Las Vegas
