Grizzley stayed at the hospital Wednesday night. It turns out that he does have lymphoma and now it has advanced to his chest cavity. The vet took the fluid out of his lungs a few times so he could breathe better and he finally ate something yesterday after starving himself for 2 days. The vet says that once at this stage, the disease advances rapidly and Grizzley has a couple of months at the most unless he decides to surprise us by responding really well to the medications, in which case I might have a few more months with him.
I took him home last night and so far, he has eaten only 2 oz of canned food while normally he should have finished 9 oz. But it might just be that the dosage of prednisone that we quadrupled just 2 days ago hasn’t taken considerable effect yet. If he doesn’t eat substantial amount by tomorrow morning, I have to take him back to the vet tomorrow.
Please please please keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer and send him good vibes so that he at least sees his 15th birthday, 28th of June, and also that his last days are not too painful to him and that I recognize the time to let him go when the time comes.

Yoonie, I am sooo very sorry. I know how much your furry babies mean to you. I was in a similar situation with my Siamese cat who was 15 when I had to finally bid her a final farewell when kidney failure was diagnosed.
My prayers are with you, Grizzley, your vet and the team to help your boy.
I miss you!
Sending you love and TLC and most of all, lots of prayers for peace and healing and strength.
