Thanks Deanna If you want to research it I would certainly appreciate it. With the prednisone Star is eating better and more active so I am so thankful for that. No the doctor did not mention a timeline. Not sure I would even want to know.

My heart is just breaking for you and Star. ..did the vet give you any idea of how long she might have left? Maybe there are things we can all research...natural ways to keep the tumor from growing ..there has to be something!! I know there is for people! I will start looking if it won't upset you. Big hugs dear one...praying here too! Deanna

It is cancer and it is a tumor involved in the blood vessel system. Doctor Liz said she (Star) would not likely survive if she did surgery...she'd bleed out. She did a ultrasound and it is a solid mass not fluid filled as in a cyst or abcess. She said just take Star home and give a wonderful rest of her life. Eventually she will get where the tumor prevents her from eating and then it was time to put her to sleep. She gave her prednisone,some garlicky smelling ointment, and cephalexin(antibiotic). So seems like Doc Liz is doing all she knows how to. Of course we need your prayers more than ever please.So going to get off here. Not in a humor to write emails or anything. I know you understand.
