We've had some sad news about Pearl this weekend. She had lost quite a
bit of weight very suddenly and wasn't eating or drinking on Thursday and
we took her to her vet on Friday who determined she had gone from 14+
pounds to 9 pounds(!) and blood tests showed a liver problem. We took her
to a specialist in San Leandro on Saturday and found out she has advanced
liver cancer. Anyway, she had a good weekend and is still with us and is
eating and drinking again but we've decided not to treat her except with
steroids and fluids (the only other option being chemotherapy which would
just buy her a little time and would not cure her) and we'll take it a day
at a time, as long as she is still enjoying being with us and making Ray
miserable.
