And the Peasants Rejoiced
I just returned from the vet's office. I wrote earlier about my oldest kitty, Junior. She has been ill for a few months and I was pretty sure that today i was going to have to have her put to sleep.
I am so happy to say that the results were far different than I expected. Not only is she still with me, but the vet thinks that she has a few more good years in her. The vet we use is a bit different than most vets. He uses some interesting and unique holistic techniques to diagnose and treat both animals and people.
I'll admit, when I first took my old Irish Setter to him 14 years ago, I was more than a little skeptical of his methods. But, in the intervening years, he has seen all of the animals in out vast menagerie and has taken excellent care of each one. So, if he says that Junior can have a good quality of life, then I believe it.
She does indeed have cancer, and a nasty bacterial infection that has sped the cancer's progression. She will be on antibiotics for a couple weeks and after that she will start some holistic treatments that are far less invasive than anything in conventional medicine.
Hopefully, she will get her energy back and can have another few years before the end. I am in such a good place right now...I think I found the only vet who could give me hope for my little Junior.
Thanks for all the good thoughts and concern. You guys are awesome!!
