Some good, at least.

Babe has eaten her rice-thinned canned food (and was hungry, yay!), and has been fine for a while now since eating. So that's good. We still have to do her evening dose of prednisone, and I'm worried that if that's troubling her stomach, it may not be great when we give it to her. We'll do that when we give her the next food, rather than now; needed to make sure she was okay with just food. (If she does have trouble with the pred, we'll either have to adjust the dose down - not great for her in regards the cancer - or get something to buffer her stomach, which apparently they can try. I'm hoping it's not that, though...we'll see.)

Good thoughts for her, please. I know it's just a waiting game now, but I'd like it to be a longer one, not a shorter one. But most of all...good thoughts, for her sake, that we recognize when it is time to take her in for that last visit, early enough to spare her. I don't want that to happen sooner than it should, but I also don't want her to suffer 'cause I'm in denial or just flat missing something.

Always good thoughts! It's hard to look at our own rug rats without sometimes wondering about how she is doing.

Thank you.

We are all thinking good thoughts for your Babe kitty.

Thank you.

I don't want to be the voice of doom, but I had such a bout with the pred with my BeBe this spring that the stuff scares me to death. As I think I said: It is a wonder drug with very bad side effects.

She really had serious internal bleeding in her stomach. She was on IVs for a couple of days.

Just watch Babe closely, which I know you will do.

Thank you, and I do appreciate your intentions, but these comments are kind of unhelpful to me. I'm a worrier - so each time you mention it, I worry more - even though I'm already aware of, tracking, and worried about the possibility. I don't know if you saw my earlier post in which I explicitly mentioned the possibility of pred involvement and the fact that we'd talked to the vet and were going forward on their recommendations....

I do know about pred, yes. And we are watching Babe closely. (Apple does not approve: she's shut in the upstairs bathroom so we can monitor the downstairs litterbox, and also because she has decided Babe is some kind of toy, so she can't be trusted home alone with her anyway.)

Never in a million years would I want to cause you more worry. I know what you are going through, and want to be supportive.

I am sorry for the rough times, and will keep my comments to myself.

Thank you, and I'm sorry. It really is just me being a worrying sort that makes it have that effect, I know. I do appreciate your concern for Babe!
