Re: cat ill with enlarged lymph node

So , We finally took her to my folks home and we felt like we were abandoning her, we both felt awful, however it seems she has settled in and been sitting with my folks in their front room and chilling out.

Re: My heart aches for my little lad Jareth

HI , I read your story on the forum, you tired everything for him, and he just wasn't well. It is hard to see right now, but it was an act of kindness, the vet tried everything, sometimes we do not get the results we want. It hard right now, let yourself cry when you need to, its normal..

She seems brighter and she has put o...

Re: cat ill with enlarged lymph node

HI, Thanks for sharing your story, Everything I have read about Chemo and cats doesn't sit well with me, I know that we desperately want her to be well, however I also know I can't put her through something that will stress her even more, she has always been highly strung, and moans form the second ...

Re: cat ill with enlarged lymph node
