C.C. lost her brother exactly 5 months before she passed. She and the veterinarian put up a valiant effort with a tongue that would not heal after surgery. She was fed at home through a stomach feeding tube and bathed daily because she couldn’t bath herself
because of the condition of her tongue.
We battled a serious infection and even though we were feeding her much more than she would ever eat on her own – she dropped to 6 lbs. After two months, 5 surgeries, countless medications and unlimited TLC from her mom and dad and the vet – she continued to deteriorate. She had no quality of life and was confined to a small spare bedroom
relying on us for food and water.
The very difficult decision by all parties was to end C.C.’s misery and put her to sleep. A biopsy was taken of her mishapen and discolored tongue and it turned out to be cancerous – the reason that her tongue never healed. She will be missed and
her loving manner will never be forgotten.
