Terrible news about our furbaby Lily. [View all]

Our sweet lily cat has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She is almost 16 and began showing a lesion on her butt some weeks ago and we took her to the vet and they told us it may only be an infected anal gland and they prescribed antibiotics. After the meds ran out, and it was worse, we took her back in and the prescribed more antibiotics and scheduled a biopsy for last Thursday.

The biopsy was very hard on her and we got her a puffy flower shaped cone so she could be more comfortable. The results came back Wedneday as positive and it is a rare cancer mostly found in dogs. We could see a specialist but they said it may not do any good and would probably require reconstructive surgery as well.

She gets the stitches out Thursday and we will talk with the vet about how to make her comfortable for her last days.

She still really likes her food and treats and we are giving her all the love and attention she can soak up.

I am so sad. Even though she is my sister's fur baby...who appeared on her doorstep as a kitten...she always seeks me out for attention.

I'll try to post photos soonest.

My heart aches.
