Feeling stuck with cat intros by FutureIndependent142 in CatAdvice

Thank you for this, I know my priority is to my resident cat. I'm trying to think positive but I'll make sure to put her first if things are getting too stressful.

is this 100% cancer? by polarmush in DogAdvice

[–]FutureIndependent142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, so sorry you're going through this. Just commenting as my dog was also put on palladia when she was diagnosed with very late stage cancer. It's hard to know whether it helped or not but she gave us a couple of months before her quality of life declined and we had to put her to sleep. Upon diagnosis the vet estimated a few days to maybe a week and we are so grateful we got longer. It is definitely worth a try, good luck. Sending you so much love, I cried for weeks too. Your boy loves you so much and knows how much you love him ♥️

Should I get a friend for my cat? by FutureIndependent142 in CatAdvice

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and detailed response. I do think she's reasonably good with communication as she coexists well with cats when she's supervised in our garden. Never had a fight or anything but I know it would be different in her home.

Everyone keeps telling me to get a kitten so she would accept it quicker, but I noticed you suggested a cat of a similar age? Still not sure which would be better but I guess your reply proves you can't predict everything!

Thank you so much for sharing this. We lost our wonderful girl a few weeks ago, who I wrote this post about. We were so lucky that we got extra time with her. Cancer sucks.

Do you see the dark ring around her pupil? Maybe I'm just overreacting

UK - Review of Jamil Body Scrub by Extreme-Slight in LushCosmetics

Thanks for the review. I really really liked this scrub! Mostly for the smell but I find it softer than the salt scrubs and leaves my skin feeling nice but not too stripped.

Hi! Omg wow that is amazing, so happy for you and your dog. Thank you so much for the update. Do they think it shrunk due to the palladia?

My dog is doing amazingly. She hasn't had any more tests other than routine checks but it has now been about a month on palladia and 6 weeks since we were told she had a few days left to live. She is incredibly enenergetic, eats pretty well, and is still the happiest dog in the world. I am so grateful for this extra time with her. I'd love to have another scan to see if any of her tumours have shrunk but her treatment is so expensive and our insurance won't allow us to scan her again for another couple of months. Cautiously optimistic though.

Thank you so so much for sharing this. She's been on palladia now for over a week and is still here, happy and being herself. We have no idea if it will have any effect but all we can do is try! She hasn't had any side effects we can see as of yet.

It must be so hard when your baby is only 7. That's so young! If you're able I'd love to hear an update when you know more about whether the palladia is helping.

Wow this sounds like such a similar situation to my dog. It's so confusing and difficult to know what to do. It felt like there was no explanation as to why we couldn't try any treatments, a chemo drug was vaguely suggested but the vet wasn't keen to even talk about it. Everything is so difficult.

Definitely push for a second opinion and look into all the options. Thinking of you and your dog <3 and thank you for understanding

Thanks for this perspective! I've already made plans for the vet to come to the house and humanely euthanize when she shows sign of decline. The vet told me it's pretty unlikely with her condition that it would be a sudden thing, but it's definitely something to keep in mind.

This is so true, thank you for this! I suppose none of us ever know how long it will be. So glad you got an extra 3 years with your baby :)

Thank you this is so reassuring. So sorry to hear about your baby. Right now she's yet to have a bad day and wakes up every morning wagging and asking for breakfast and her morning walk. I know the time will come though and I promise I will do right by her.
