[Felvtalk] Destiny

[Marilyn Knapp Litt]

Just wanted to give you kind souls an update on my sweet Destiny.  I helped her cross the bridge last week, just a few weeks after her diagnosis.  The vet initially thought she had a nasal tumor, but tests were negative.  On this visit it was clear she had deteriorated in a week and had the vet was able to see the tumor. The vet said steroids would shrink it, but it would come roaring back.  Her head was so swollen that one eye was shut.  The best thing we could do was let her go while she was still purring.

>From onset to end there was nothing we could have changed with any knowledge or treatment.  She had tested neg. for FeLv and had the vaccine and boosters. Our other cats are negative and she never went outdoors. Destiny enjoyed good health until very recently when her respitory infection turned out to be a tumor.  Nevertheless, it really helped us to have the support of this community and know there was somewhere we could go for advice.

Thank you all and may you all have better success and hug your kitty tonight.  Destiny was a peacemaker.  I never saw her hiss once, but I saw her sit as close as she could to our cats who hissed at her, until they finally were won over.  The world needs more people like my special cat . . .
