Lefty's gone
December 30, 2008 - Last week I discovered a new
tumour on Lefty in exactly the same spot as
where one was removed a little over a monh
ago. That tumour was a
fibrosarcoma,
a malignant tumour, so it would be no use removing it again as it would
most probably then return again. After consulting the
vet I decided to wait and see,
and hope for the best.
By today the lump had already doubled in size, so it was
perhaps even more fast-growing as last time. Lefty had begun showing signs
of discomfort and even mild panic the last couple of days, so I made the
very difficult decision that enough is enough. Especially for Lefty, who'd
had more than a fair share of misfortune
already in his relatively short live. I took him to the vet one more last
time, where he ate a last biscuit, and even drank a little water from my
glass. After that the vet put him to sleep. :'(
