Katie is a cutie. Her little face and body language just tells you how much pain she is in. When Chipper was 13 I noticed he was peeing pink tinged blood but he wasn't acting sick. I took him to the vets and was given an antibiotic. If Chipper wasn't better he would have to have x-rays. We went back for the x-rays and bladder stones were found. He had the surgery that night. The vet removed 7 small stones and also found a slight thickening of the bladder wall and took a biopsy to be sent out just in case something else was going on but he thought everything was fine. Chipper was sent home with pain meds, antibiotic and a new food that he would have to eat for the rest of his life. A few days later, the vet called to tell me that Chipper had bladder cancer. I couldn't believe it. Chipper seemed to be recovery from surgery and was acting his old self again. Although there still was blood in his urine. The vet said that because of the location of the cancer it was inoperable. I'm thinking you're so wrong. The vet said that within 6 weeks I would have decisions to make. Seeing those photos of poor little Katie is like looking at Chipper when I had to make one of the most difficult decisions of my life. One day Chipper was a relatively, happy little boy and the next he was sooo sick. He layed there just like Katie, leaking bloody urine, just staring and watching. How can anybody let their baby suffer like that. Katie is so lucky that she has you to love and take care of her now. I'll be thinking and praying for that little baby girl.
