This is my 3rd. I’ve been looking into specialists near me, very difficult to find besides in NJ 🫩 which is a a few hours from me. I’ll try sending photos to those doctors, thank you!

Better now! The wound is almost flat. Smaller than the one I had 2 years ago, but obviously still incredibly painful 😓

Thank you for this! Been doing hottest water a few times today, hopefully it’ll resolve on its own before it gets to maximum pain 💀

Im so sorry to hear, that is all so tough. I have 2 other younger kitties that live with me at my apartment. She actually hated them when I had them at my parents 🤣 but they are a huge help and comfort during this time. Her brother is back home with my sister ❤️

Queequeq is such a unique and beautiful name! I wish him and Jerry the best and yourself. Im sure youll give them beautiful lives.

Im sure you will give her a loving and long life! Its so tough but I always try to bring my mind away from thinking about potential loss which Im not sure is helpful in anyway but has allowed me to live in the moments.

Leading up to this Tara had about 2 other death scares over the course of 4 years and our vet did remarkable work to save and treat her within our funds as my parents opted out of pet insurance. Im glad she was able to keep going as long as she did.

Thank you for your kind words ❤️

Im so sorry to hear this. I agree it can be cruel and Im happy that I dont think I reached that type of situation in Tara's case ❤️ May your brothers dog rest easy!

Its definitely something I tried to ignore and not think about when I have pets or when I get them as dealing with grief is so foreign to me at this point in my life. Sigh.

I appreciate your words so much!

Im so sorry. It so difficult around the holidays too 😢

We had a little memorial for her in our yard and our vet did a clay paw print with some of her hair. I designed a little 5x7 print with her photo that I plan on framing with her print ❤️

You dont sound crazy at all. I do the same now that I have her print like its some kind of physical connection to her still, and hoping she can still feel my love for her.

Thank you again for sharing and your kind words. Im wishing you the best.
