FrankenKitty Update

It's been a while since we've had an update on Trinity.

Here she is relaxing on the couch after a long day. She went to the vet and then had to spend the rest of the day in my office, which she did, under the couch so she wouldn't have to be nice to anyone.

I'm sure you can see that there is something obviously wrong on her hip. If you aren't squeamish, you can click on the picture and see a closeup.

What you'd be looking at is in fact a hole. This is where she worried open the abscess that had formed over the tumor. It hasn't really been healing. The vet says that in normal tissue it would eventually close up, but that since we are talking about cancerous tissue it is much less likely the thing will ever heal.

We also discovered today that she's dropped 5 pounds in a month. That might not sound like much, but an analogous weight loss for myself would be 75#. So its a big deal. She's also running a fever. Probably from an infection due to the wound.

All of which is leading to that we're probably in something like phase two of the end. Phase one was when the UberVet gave her 6 months last February (7 months ago). We can of course take heart that we don't know how many phases there are. Now we're just going to try to get her over the fever and see what happens then.

And when I know, well, that'll be the next FrankenKitty update.
