Cleopatra has been diagnosed with Osteosarcoma

Cleopatra's paw had been swelling for about a month & she was being treated with antibotics & predisane & the swelling would go down but then it just come back the vet x-rayed the leg & sawl Osteosarcoma & said it had traveled to her lymph nodes & there was no way of stopping the spreading of the cancer now. Her paw was so big & swollen. Her Vet said she could of keep getting pains meds but eventually her bone was going to just snap from the cancer eating away her bone. Cleopatra had already stopped eating for days and lost 6 pounds within those days and was down to 83 pounds. She was all bones. They(my mom,brother & niece) didn't let me know that Cleo had died Dec 10th until the night after worried about me getting to upset while I was pregnant knowing I would of wanted to be there with her. I know my niece Sarah will miss sleeping with her they always fuss over the sofa & end up sharing it :(
My step father told my brother the last night before she past away she sat on the sofa leaning back just looking at Sarah sleeping like she was thinking & knowing this would be her last day with her loved ones on earth. She was cremated the next day & my mom who was Cleopatra's mom & grandma will be picking her ashes up on wedensday dec 12. 2007. Cleopatra had just turned 9yrs old on dec,3. The night after Cleo passed my mom woke up in the middle the night crying & looking for Cleo. Our christmas will not be the same without our Cleopatra to share it with us. I imagine Calub Cleopatra's son who died almost a year ago was waiting at heaven gate to greet his beautiful mother.

Hip dysplasia

Cleopatra went to the vets & has been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. The vet said the slight arch in her back is a sign of hip dysplasia. She'll be getting
x-rays to see how severe her condition has progressed. The vet has put her on pain medication for now. She did not enjoy her vet visit at all.

'Cleopatra is having pain'

The last 2 weeks or so my mom says Cleopatra just started squeaking loudly every time she go up the stairs & she use to always jump up on her hind legs to greet you but now she can't its to painful for her. We're baffled on what could be wrong with her. When she came by me & I was squated down Cleo was leaning against me and she was fine until her left side was touching me & she yelped loudly. We started to examine her side & one side of her rib cage looks different then the right side. It's hard to explain. So Cleopatra will be going to the vets probaly for x-rays if the vet can't figure out the problem by examining her. I'm praying its nothing serious but I'm so worried.
