Hi everyone, well I got my Bria into the vet and it is not good news. He
aspirated the swelling to see if anything would come out and the needle just
filled with blood. I guess this is some type of cancer he said and said that
there is not much we can do for her other than to not let her suffer. He did
give her a shot of vitamin B 12 I guess to help pep her up a bit, but since
we got home from the vet it seems as if she has gone down hill. Maybe she is
just stressed from the trip too.
Anyway, I had taken all three with me as it is a two hour drive so the others
got there shots and a good check up. The other two are very healthy he said.
When we got home, one thing they do when they are mad at me is go stand in
the kitchen corner and pee. Well, they got out of there and cage and lined
up as if in a protest and proceeded to pee in the corner. Side by side they
lined up. LOL.
The sad part of this is that Bria's puddle, had quite a bit of pink in it.
Now who knows how long this has been going on, as she never misses the potty
box. What would this be from does anyone have any idea? I won't let my
little girl suffer, as I know what it is like to live in pain and my sweet
Bria does not deserve this for even five minutes. I will not let her suffer.
The vet said that when she stops eating that is when the pain is bad. Is
this true? I just want to make sure I don't wait too long for euthanizing
her. I also don't want to help her home too early either. How do I know
when it is time?
My little girl has lived nine long years and has had the life of a princess.
She really has. She has her own dresser that she sleeps in and just is the
queen of this castle. Please, prayers are welcomed and asked for, for my
Bria and our family. I feel like I am loosing my daughter.
Sincerely, Tina
