Pippy is dying
She has had sinus problems for two and a half years now. On Monday we did x rays to see if her cancer had moved to her lungs.
It hadnt, but showed she has pneumonia and she is in heart failure. She was put on a lot of medications but she declined very quickly.
Monday night she was having trouble holding her body up. She wasnt alert. Last night she threw up her breakfast and dinner from the night before, undigested. She was trying to drink water but her mouth wouldn’t reach the water.
She was hospitalized and her temperature was very low at 98 degrees, when it was 101.5 on Monday.
She has been on an iv with catheter all day, and they’re keeping her warm. She is not responding to treatment. Another xray was done today and her heart and lungs look worse. They also did another xray and it showed her cancer had spread, just not to her lungs. There is a mass obstructing her trachea. My vet told me tonight to prepare myself and come visit her as often as I could. I am going to ask if I can bring her home tomorrow. I don’t want her to die in the hospital. I thought I was prepared for this but I don’t feel prepared at all.
My friends and some of my family came over. They keep asking what they can do for me, and I don’t know what to tell them.
