Kira has had some noticeable weight loss, is drinking a lot (too much, actually), and her energy levels are quite low for the past week or two. When she was first diagnosed with lymphoma in January 2008, we were told she had anywhere from 6 months to 24 months left. To date, she has been a trooper for over 22 months... but we can see her getting weaker.
Kira had another vet appointment today. Dr. Tobin walked in the room and could see immediately that Kira was not as active as usual. We decided to run a few additional tests, but things don't look too great at the moment. We also discussed how to proceed when we have to make the final choice and say goodbye, as it is inevitable.
While some test results are still pending, the lab results that did come in this evening are not quite as dire as we have been preparing for... she may still possibly have a couple months or weeks left in her, rather than just a couple of days. As long as she still purrs when she is with her Daddies, we will continue to keep her comfortable, happy and loved.
