Oh bless that sweet little babe. He looks so lovely. It's so unfair that this has to happen to the little guy after all he has been through. I understand now why you say that 'his card was marked from day one'....poor little Ollie.

You couldn't have done more than you have cc. As I said in my message to you I shall never understand pain and suffering and it always seems to afflict the least deserving. It is sad beyond words.

I can only hope and pray that the results are not as grim as you have been given to expect.

All my thoughts are with you both

Lots of love

Roz

Im so glad to hear Ollie is eating well today,i dont think hes ready to give up yet either,he sounds like a right little fighter and miracles do happen so if we all pray together as Roz suggested at 8pm tonight who knows we may just get it,fingers crossed

I'm glad to hear that CC, I wouldn't rush into it if I were you as you say both you and your vet think he seems ok for now which is great

Im also getting mixed feelings about him as he was on the kitchen top wanting ham, then ate a full plate, leaving none for his brother Ted who was watching close by

He's been better today, like his normal self, he is still managing to climb to the top of their 6ft cat post.

He's having a snooze on my bed with Ted, not hiding out of the way which is a good thing

I also mentioned to the vet that he is still eating and grooming, which is not a sign of a cat giving up, the vet agreed

If there is going to be a time in my life that I need a miracle, its now. I would give up my future good things for him to get better now.

He was diagnosed with Gingivitis at the age of six months old, and has fought on till now bless him. I got him when he was only 4 weeks old, not even weened I had to ween him myself, I did not know he was only this young when I got him it was a vets trip that gave me the inormation. So from being 6 months old he's had this and sadly had to learn to live with it. I feel I have done my best for him in tearms of vet treatment, he's been to the vets at least once a month since he was 6 months old also. This has been a strain on both of us but I will do anything for him

He had his teath removed in Jan last year and this did improve his condition, leaving him well for 10 months, he didnt need any antibiotics through this time. Around October last year things started again and just after Christmas he started getting the infections again. The last few weeks treatment has not been working for him in terms of taking the swelling down. Last Thursday my vets told me his suspicions and said he thinks Ollie has cancer

Its all been a great shock to the system

We have traveled so far together Im not going to give up on him now. I will always be there for him wether its rain or shine

My Sunshine Ollie

I think Bazsmum has it exactly right with her thoughts earlier this morning, cc

Janeyk · « **Reply #115 on:** April 28, 2009, 13:18:30 PM »

awwwww CC, I'm so sad for you and Ollie it's made me cry

cherish every moment with him

Roz · « **Reply #114 on:** April 28, 2009, 11:34:38 AM »

I was so dreading looking at Ollie's thread this morning but relieved to learn that he is still with you...bless him.

All you can do is love him as you have always done and as the vet said, cherish every moment you have left with the little star.

I shall continue to pray for him.

I feel so ignorant not knowing Ollie's full history. I know I was confusing him with your other cat Oliver when I first posted my thoughts but if you feel you have the strength and time, I would be interested to learn more about the dear little chap. It must be heartbreaking to have found a kitten at such a young age and to have nurtured it against the odds for so long, only to lose it in young adulthood. I am just so sorry cc and wish I could take the pain away for you.

But at the moment he's still with you and there's always a chance that the results might not be as grim as everyone is suggesting. Maybe if we all try to visualise a well and happy Ollie at a certain time this evening, we might be able to improve things. We just have to link our thoughts and think him well and healthy..not sick and sad. Shall we set a time for 8pm? It would be better if I knew what little Ollle looks like. Anything is worth a shot.

Lots of love to you and Ollie

Roz

I'm modifying this....is Ollie the little babe on your avatar?

sorry things have turned out so badly CC but agree that without you Ollie would have had a much shorter and brutal life - every he has had with you has been a bonus for him

Bazsmum · « **Reply #111 on:** April 28, 2009, 10:16:26 AM »

Aw CC....Wish things were'nt this way for you and darling Ollie....

You have to turn things positive in the sense that you have been given precious time with Ollie, had Ollie not found you when he was but a kitten I doubt very much he would of made it out of kitten-hood.

You have given him the best of a life he could possibly have under his circumstance's, the wee man has fought so long and you have helped him every stage of the way...

Treasure your time with him, you and him are special friends, he trust's you to do what is best for him!

Thinking of you and Ollie xxx

Well he's just being himself really, ok he's not darting about or anything but seems ok. Was in the kitchen this morning wating for his breakfast

To look at him now knowing Im going to loose him in a few days or so, I just cant bear it

The vet also said cherish the time you have with him, so thats not good is it

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #109 on:** April 28, 2009, 07:34:53 AM »

Fingers crossed you can keep him comfortable till you know what is happening.

Well seen a different vet today, and he also said it doesn't look hopefull

But he said he understands me wanting to wait for the results. So its just an option of waiting now and see what comes of it

He give Ollie a long lasting steriod jab to try to take the swelling down, havent looked in his mouth to see if its done anything yet, will look in a while. Also an antibiotic and a vitimin B jab.

He said he still looks quite brite, I said thats whats making it so hard

So its just going to be sit and wait till Friday, and then I will also have to pay the bill which is more than I thought, its at £152 at the moment but I dont really care you cant put a price on life

Im going to get my others insured also now just incase

Well as soon as we were home Ollie was hungy and give me a little meow

I couldnt believe my ears

He seems ok at the moment, just resting on my sons bed not hiding out of the way, so hopefully he feels a little better at least.

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #94 on:** April 27, 2009, 13:14:50 PM »

Well Ollie is still eating, grooming although leaving himself very sticky

Were going to the vets today to get something to take the swelling down and a pain killer. I dont think he will need an apetite booster as he wants to eat, he's just finding it painful

I really hope its not cancer and something can be done, Im going out of my mind here and the poor wee man doesn't deserve this

Teresa Pawcats · « **Reply #93 on:** April 27, 2009, 08:07:09 AM »

So very sorry to read this, you have fought so hard for Ollie for such a long time and given him so much love and care. My thoughts and prayers are with you both

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #92 on:** April 27, 2009, 07:58:43 AM »

I am sorry things aren't looking good, and I hope the vet can give you some good advice today.

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #91 on:** April 27, 2009, 00:28:16 AM »

Have given him a steriod and he's come into the room in front of the fire, maybe its made him feel a little better

Still haven't heard him meow since Thursday tho

He's still purring when I pet him and we had a lovely cuddle on Friday night

This is the part that cripple's me....Sometimes all the money in all the world just isnt enough....

The main this is do you think he is in any kind of pain?

CC & The Pussycat Guys & Dolls · « **Reply #88 on:** April 26, 2009, 20:11:09 PM »

Well I would phone the vets tomorrow and even if the results are not done, I would push them to push the lab, my vet is very nice and understands what Ive been through with Ollie, he's the only vet I bother with for Ollie.

Humm I think Ollie is starting to slow down, he's loosing weight (I think) because of not being able to eat much. He is not making any sound at all, just resting

but he is still there at meal times wanting to be fed, maybe I should syringe feed him? I have been mushing his food and putting water in it.

Even if the vet can give him something to take the swelling down till the results come back would be good, and maybe a pain killer too. The vets didnt even mention about his steriods, wether to carry on with them or not, maybe I should?

Agreed. And this is for you, CC:

It hurts to not know what to do and whether they're unhappy because of unclear signals.

Bazsmum · « **Reply #86 on:** April 26, 2009, 20:01:16 PM »

Oh so sorry to read this CC....I think on Friday when I seen him his actions must of been down to the anesthetic still being in his system....

It is so hard a decision but you will definitely know when enough is enough....way up the good vs bad, I really feel for you Chez!

Head rubs to darling Ollie from all of us!

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #85 on:** April 26, 2009, 19:56:43 PM »

I don't know CC - the thing is, is it going to be quick enough for something to be done if he's already showing signs of going downhill? I'm so sorry you are going through this.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #84 on:** April 26, 2009, 19:55:52 PM »

The problem is that the place the vets call for results probably won't be open on a Sunday, CC. What's making you think he's decided?
