Aly&Poppy<3
Wise Old Thumper
She has a tumor or abscess under her eye which bleeds on and off. It seems to be getting bigger too
The choices were biopsy or keep her comfortable. I haven't said anything on here because I'm self hating and didn't/don't know how people would react and there is just so much sadness going on at the moment I haven't felt able to post. But I'm really stuggling
Poppy is 7 years old and I have decided quality over quantity. Every day I've been asking myself 'what if', what if she had the biospy.. We could find out exactly what it is and fix her.. But I just know that the biopsy itself would be incredibly distressing for her as well as recovery with meds and everything. Let alone an operation.
She doesn't move around much now but still super cheeky. She is eating and flopping non stop, which is great but it also makes me feel terrible because she is obviously happy and she is the biggest fighter going.
The only really worrying thing (apart from her eye) currently is her sneezing. It's becoming more frequent and it is very squeaky.. Might see if we can get an appointment tomorrow as once she starts she needs help stopping.
She went to the vets a week ago now for a check up and our vet said it had got bigger as it is pushing her eye slightly. Her painkillers have been upped and she never seems in pain so that's good. She went because we woke up and found blood on the floor and wall from where she had been scratching
It's just so horrible because I feel terrible and I know if it was Donny or Lola or Charley they would be having a biospy. But Poppy is so fragile My brain is telling me I'm just making up excuses to make myself feel better and that she would be fine but I just know she wouldn't
Here she is chilling with her new pal Candyfloss. You can see her poorly eye in this too -
