Default Spicey's poor prognosiis

Spicey stopped eating Thursday evening, and got bloodwork at the vet
yesterday, which were concerning enough that she was admitted for an
overnight stay at the emergency vet today.

Spicey managed to be a little bit of her spunky self, fighting with the
techs. But an ultrasound has found that she has multiple tumors in her
pancreas, and possibly her adrenal glands, small intestine, and elsewhere,
and her kidneys, thyroid, and potassium are also out of whack, they say.

There's not much that can be done about the underlying issues, so she'll
just be getting palliative care over the weekend. After that, I'll probably
bring her home and discuss options with her regular vet.

I've known in my mind that I might not be allowed to have Suz's cat for
very long, but in my heart, I wanted her to be part of our new family
forever.

Oh Tak! I'm so sorry to hear about this. I know you brought Spicy out
of her shell when she came to live with you.

Unfortunately we cannot control what happens. I will purr for her. But
at least know you gave her a good home. And she did come out of her
shell somewhat after you brought her home after Suz died. Thank you for
taking her in.
