Subject: Mandy, Wink and Eduardo
Dear Friends,
I had some time off from work over the last couple of weeks and it's been
terribly bittersweet. Eduardo finally came home; thinner and 'talking' a
mile a minute. He was VERY happy to see me (he was gone over 2 weeks)
but spooked about going into the house. I finally did get him into the
garage after about the 4th day of our 9 day rainfest in the northeast, and I'm
obviously thrilled to have him home.
Mandy is starting to go downhill; she is going in tonight for another
depo shot. I'd been giving her Cat's Claw and Pau D'arco with some aloe
juice in her purees. She has lost a good bit of weight and is having
more and more trouble swallowing. She follows me everywhere and cries to
be petted and is still working out on the scratching post.
Wink's biopsy came back and she has cancer in the glands of her
ear. Her balance is becoming affected and she needs a very specialized
kind of surgery, if the cancer has not spread. She's going in tonight as
well for evaluation.
I am trying to get them a referral to New England Veterinary Oncologists
this week, but I'm afraid it could be too late for Mandy. I was
told her prognosis was very poor and the surgical options I was given just
didn't seem that they would give her a quality life. I want Wink
see an oncologist and let an expert determine the extent of the cancer before
we make a decision about whether we should subject her to this surgery,
so I want to take Mandy, too, just in case....
Last night, Mandy sat on the bed with her paws on my shoulder while I
read, and Wink sat on my chest. My precious little girls; I can't
believe that I will be without them. I feel broken.
I'm trying to catch up on mail and I send hugs to everyone.
Think a good thought for my girls.
Love, Julie
