Such a heavy heart today on LL. It is especially hard because I am seeing more decline in Tuscany. The sarcoma is getting larger, her limp very pronounced. It almost looks like the wrist is collapsing but I think that is mostly optical illusion at this point with the mass sticking out backwards more.
I started the bupe last pm. A very small dose - I kind of wanted to ease into it so only .03 twice a day at this time. It is oral. I may have been procrastinating starting the bupe cause it is like admiting it is finally time and that her days are numbered. I feel like I've mentally put her in hospice now, even though I knew she wasn't going to survive the summer. I grapple with trying to justify keeping her going with pain meds - and is it selfish of me. But - she is still purring, still eating, still grabbing (with the bad paw) for her treats and she is still mostly her cranky self.
Sorry for adding more sadness in LL today. (((Cosmo, Jake, Lucy, Latte and all the others needing this blizzard of snow that is burying LL)))
