Bernie Update

[Elaine]

Had the cats at the vets this morning, Milly was not pleased at having her booster so all other checks and nail clipping were off the cards:lol:

Bernie has lost another 200grams since January, which isnt alarming. The vet can now clearly feel the mass in his abdomen and he has a grade 3 heart murmur as well now. He said he'd like to know about what is actually going on with him but agrees with me that exploration is not going to do Bernie any good. So once again we leave him be, as long as he is still having quality of life, which he is for now.

poor bernie, hope he continues to fight on x

Millie is a little Miss, isn't she?

Bless Bernie - as you say quality of life is all that is important. ((((HUGS)))) Elaine.

Dear Bernie, thanks for the update, extra gentle huggles sent his way.. x

[Elaine]

Thanx every one, he really is doing remarkably well considering they thought he may only have had a few months almost a year ago.
I am dreading the ending though, it's never nice. All I hope is that I can recognise when it's time before it gets horrible and distressing for him.

[alexgirl73]

I'm sure you will Elaine, you'll be so vigilant with him.

[babycakes]

Hows he doing Elaine?? xx

[Elaine]

Hiya Babycakes, havent seen you around for a while.;)

Bernie is same old same old really and I am pleased that he is tbh. We just take each day as it comes.

[truthisouthere]

Hugs to your fluffy bundle. x

Karen's words of 'rather a moment too soon than a moment too late' will forever ring in my ears with regards to my poor Fifi. I am sure you and G are watching Bernie carefully and will make his quality of life a priority xxx

[Elaine]

Thankyou Yola, those words always ring in my ears too. I refuse to do anything that is ultimately NOT going to benefit him, he is content with life at the moment and what will be will be.

I know I am so up the wall with studying I dont get a minute to just 'browse' and catch up. I have missed everyone.

Bernie is lucky to have such a wonderful owner thats why he is doing so well :)
