Our baby had her surgery on May 8th to have her front leg amputated. It's now August and she is doing wonderful. We took her in for her senior check-up and, well long story short, she was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. As you all know the surgery for the amputation was very costly and we have been working very hard trying to get it paid off. Now we will be getting hit very hard with 18 weeks of chemo treatments for her. We are not ones to give up and we have a lot of pride.
Caylee has made it through so much and we can't give up.
We thank you in advance for your kindness.
Glenn and Caylee
Geez Glenn, so darn sorry to hear this.
It is wonderful that Caylee is doing so very well though! Loving her avatar picture! I know she's been getting more loving and spoiling than you ever thought possible!!
Nope, giving up is not an option! And we would all do everything humanly possible and leave no stone unturned for our dogs and cats! We understand!!
You might check out the Tripawd Resources page also. There are organizations listed that may be able to help.
Thanks so much for your post today. Remember, nothing has changed in Caylee's world! She's staying in the moment not worrying about a thing!
Sending hugs to all!
