I really appreciate your take on that with your own personal experience with Buckley and Amber, and with your vet tech background.

Sometimes, they can do more harm than good.<br /><br />It seems to me that at Cinnamon's age, even knowing whether she has cancer for sure probably wouldn't change much in terms of what you do. Knowing what I know about you, I doubt that you'd put her through any kind of aggressive treatment. It sounds like you're doing what you can with supportive care, and the fact that she is more interactive and purring is such a good sign.<br /><br />It's such a hard thing when our beloved companions get to the stage Cinnamon is at, but at the same time, it can be such a special time, as we appreciate each and every moment we have left with these precious companions. I'm sending you and Cinnamon (and Maddie and your husband, too) lots of love and light and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.Ingrid Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874816179648089811noreply@blogger.com
