What a crap week. Found out my cat has cancer, hyperthyroidism, and is starving. For the thyroid I can take her to a place in Chicago for chemo but she would have to stay for 5 days at a cost $1200 - 2500.00 with a normal life expectancy. Or, put her on a special food with medicine with a life expectancy of two years. For the cancer, she has a melanoma on her ear that was found to be malignant after a biopsy. Option 1, have her ear amputated, or option 2, wait and see if another melanoma comes back.
She's 10-12 years old and has had a decent life. These are decisions I dread making for her.
