I won't be putting him down until he tells me he's ready to go. Since Bubba is still eating and drinking (thank goodness) I called up the vet yesterday to confirm my theory about him. I asked her if it would be in his best interest to be made comfortable as much as possible until he tells me that it's time to let him go. She said yes. She also recommended that we clear up the infection, which I already made my mind up doing anyway, and we'll be picking up 10 days' worth of Baytril tomorrow morning and begin the regiment of yet another round of antibiotics for him. There still is a minute amount of blood in his urine, and I forgot to ask if that was the result of the cancer, or the infection. I was just elated to hear that my precious Bubba will be around for some time yet so that I can spoil him rotten. How much time, I'm not sure, but right now, every moment is precious with him. I had a feeling that he could still live as healthy and happy a life as possible even though he has cancer. I know what to expect in the near future. God has granted me some time with my baby. I call it an early Christmas gift.
 
{{{Angela}}} I'm glad you'll get to have more time with Bubba. What you're going through is not easy. My cat Callie has stomach cancer and it is the same situation. I'm spending as much time with her as I can and keeping her feeling as good as I can. Make the most of the days you have and love Bubba as much as you can. I hope the ABs will get rid of the infection so he can feel better. :YMHUG: :YMHUG:
 
(((Angela))) I hope Bubba stays feeling good and you get to spend a long amount of quality time with him. You will know when things are changing. Thinking of you and sending positive vines.

Thank you, ladies. I know this isn't going to be easy, and I know that the time will come eventually. The important thing is that I can give Bubba some more quality time for longer period of time than I could with our beloved Shadow. Shadow's case was unique as she didn't have much time since the cancer was already affecting her jaw along with her balance, and it was quickly getting worse each day. Each day I wake up and see him still here, that's a blessing, and a gift.
 
((hugs)) I know that whatever time you have left with bubba, you will cherish it .. Each day is a blessing with our babies and we can never take them for granted .. I hope that you and bubba have more time together then you think ...
 
Morning Angela - I am glad too that there will be more time with Bubba. Cherish every moment, I am sure you will. I am sending many positive vines. Hugs to all.
 
Angela, this is welcome news. I know that your time with Bubba will be precious for you both. Thinking of you and praying that the new course of antibiotics will get rid of the infection and that Bubba will continue to eat well and feel better.

Hugs and scritches,

He's definitely liking the fact that he's back on regular kibble now. :lol: And he's drinking, and hanging out in his box, which is close to a heater, but far enough that he can still get some warmth if needed, and the box won't catch on fire. Definitely don't want to happen.
 
And more vines for Bubba. Good news that he is doing well enough to be comfortable for now.You are such a loving bean, you will know when he is ready.
 
Yes, I'll know. The when is the hardest part. However, I'm just glad that he won't be leaving us any time soon (crossing fingers). We may have 3 months with him, or perhaps even a couple of years. If it's a couple of years, then great. :) We'll just take each day as it comes. He just finished nibbling a bit more kibble, and drinking some more water after a couple of LB visits. He was the only one that got fed at this time, and both Aurora (civvie) and Groucho (civvie) were wondering where theirs were. I told them in a couple of hours (about noon time). Right now, Bubba gets to be the first to be fed during the day, and Blackie gets first feedings AM and PM.
