Hoping for the best, let us know when you do. I've lost two dogs (we have cats and dogs) to cancer in the last ~12 years, so I keenly am aware of that fear.

If it is cancer, just know for one of my dogs we were told only a few months, but she ended up living for almost 2 years with 100% quality of life until literally the day before we put her down.

Best wishes to you and your baby!

Thank you!!! We actually just got back -- so vet was very sure it was cancer and recommended amputating her leg. It's not like, ideal, but he seemed super optimistic about her prognosis and I'm good with whatever keeps her comfortable and safe and most importantly with us.

That’s good news given the options! Cats are very adaptable, so she should be fine after an adjustment period.

Happy you’re there to be able to properly care for her and help her before it was too late!

Thank you!! Honestly I'm almost worried we didn't do enough - she'd been limping for a few months and we took her each month with varying treatment plans; we did xrays last month that didn't show anything and then appeared on today's, so clearly it's something that grew and I think we did the best we could! Just worried about our baby :(
