| Nothing much new to report! Sasha is being quite a trooper, enjoying her trips on the step, eating with abandon, cuddling with her sister, and playing with her mom. Her tumors are definitely getting larger and with this, her belly is getting pretty big, but the gal never acts like it bothers her in the least. She doesn't over lick the areas, and they do not seem to hamper her too much in getting in the windows and roaming about. I do notice that her elimination in the litterbox has a much stronger, and different odor than normal and she does seem to be going a little more often. I can only figure the tumors are either pushing into her bladder/kidneys or perhaps they have spread to them. She isn't living in the box, or having trouble going, so as usual, I am letting her live as normal as she can. Most of her tumors now are leaking, where before it was perhaps one or two. They are all moist or do drip droplets of that clear liquid all the time, but this doesn't seem to make her upset, she still is not attacking her belly or chewing fur or anything of this nature, and so I wait. In the snap above you can see two main ones peeping out, and while she was sleeping they were leaking that strange clear fluid, I sat by her dabbing them with a kleenex and observering her sleep/breathing but she didn't seem to be in pain when I was wiping them up for her, rather the opposite. Though I say it in every entry (just about) I still cannot fathom her lasting much longer, more so now with them leaking freely. I do believe eventually she is going to give on this fight and I'll be forced to take her in from her belly becoming such a mess. Until then I just do the best I can, let her live as she wants, and wait her out for signs that she is ready to go. And of course Crystal is still glued to her side and even helps her out in the box! ~July 8, 2004~ |
