Update number 3-worst possible news

[pastafreak]

I had a phone call from the vet a short while ago....my darling Cleo has cancer-vet thinks it can only be managed with antibiotics and painkillers,that surgery would be major-best to keep her comfortable for as long as possible......damn! am sobbing as i type this...help!

l am so sorry to read your sad news. We have been through this as well.

All you can do is make Cleo's time here the best she has. Plenty of love and cuddles. You will know when it is time to say goodbye.

my hearts with you pastafreak, although I havent read updat 1 an 2, animals are sooo much nicer than humans.
like Pebbles said, you will know when its time to say good night, an until then just cherish the moments

Oh what can I say, the news you were dreading pastafreak.Its so awful when there is nothing you can do other than make sure she gets everything she wants which I know you will do, if the vet can keep her pain levels down and she is comfortable that is the main thing.You do know pastafreak its what is best for Cleo and not yourself .Such a difficult time for you, my heart feels for you and poor Cleo. X g.

You must be breaking your heart at this moment.
Our animals are like our children.
There is nothing anyone can say to make you feel better either.
I just hope Cleo is not in too much pain and that the Vet can give some sort of pain relief.
Animals can sometimes be a bit more intelligent than us humans at times.
As others have said, she will know when it is her time to go, and so will you. Just hang in there for her. xxxx

Really Sorry to hear that. BIG hugs to Cleo, and of course to you too xxx

Pastafreak love , I just answered in your other thread , so sorry I didn't see this one earlier . What a shock when we were thinking Cleo was out of the woods . (( hug )) xxx

so so sorry, I know how you feel and what you are going through having been there myself last year with my old boy. As long as the vet can keep her comfortable, and you are there for you that is all she needs at the moment.

I am sorry, I didnt see your previous threads, but it sounds like this is not the news you were expecting. Only thing we know for sure with our pets, is that we usually outlive them, and when we have them we know we will have to say goodbye, and it will break our hearts. Remember the good times you have have had with her, your memories are with you forever, and she will always be in your heart. Jx

Pastafreak, that's such sad news! I didn't see your previous posts, either, but my heart goes out to you and Cleo. My old (now, sadly, long gone) cat was called Cleo, too, and she died from kidney failure/old age when she was 18. As you know, I've named my little female kitten after her (well, she's not a kitten any more - she's 2yrs old now) and she is so much like her, I swear she's old Cleo, re-incarnated! I do wish you all the best and I can only pray that the vet manages to keep your girl free from pain. Love & hugs to you both, K xxx

...and Frankie sends cuddles and sloppy kisses to Cleo.

It is horrible that you had your hopes up only to be told that it is cancer.

My dog died of cancer, I got him put to sleep when it was discovered. It was in his bladder and he was leaking like a sieve and getting upset.

If she has a good quality of life that is the main thing. She has a mummy who loves her and she trusts you. I am sure that the vet will give you all the information and support that you need.

Frankie only had a tummy bug and I was in full neurotic mother mode.

We all love our furry babies so much, if we didn't we wouldn't be in this section of AB.

Best wishes from Susan, Frankie and Princess Merlin - the twins from hell. xxx :-)

So sorry, Pasta. We consoled each other here a couple of weeks ago on our pets' respective fates and I'm saddened to hear your news was not the happy outcome I'd hoped for for yours. I'm still far from over our bereavement and it will not be easy for you, but our thoughts are with you.

Big hugs to you and Cleo pastafreak. My loss is still painfully close to the surface after 7 months and I too am 'leaking' as I type. Cleo's dignity is the most important issue here. I wish yuou strength and I'll hug my puppy when I get home later on.
