    Hazel Goes For Surgery

    Hazel goes in Thursday morning for surgery. There are no guarantees at this point in time. We opted to go with the surgery since Hazel is not getting any better. She's losing weight and just can't continue like this. We're all so stressed and do not feel good about this.
    Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers

    I just hope we've made the right decision here. I keep questioning myself.

    Lisa ... I cannot imagine the agony you are feeling at this moment. I am sure you went by the advice of your veterinarian, and that is all you can do. Please try and find peace in knowing you are doing everything medically possible for dear Hazel, and the rest is God's will for her.

    ((((HUGS))))

    This is promising news! They know one kidney is bad, but not sure about the other one until the surgery. One thing Hazel has against her is her age.

    I don't imagine I'll be getting much sleep tonight, and tomorrow I'm suppose to be training someone on doing my "old" job. Not what I exactly need right now.

    Nothing to question, Lisa. You said yourself she is losing weight and vomiting blood. How long do you think she would last if you didn't do something? This way at least she has a chance at a good life whereas if you did nothing, she would just keep going downhill with a deteriorating quality of life. You're doing the best thing possible for her, just don't ever forget that, no matter what the outcome!

    Is she home now until tomorrow morning? If so, please give her hugs and smoochies from me and let her know that all of PT is praying for her. PT prayers have done miracles before, and hopefully they'll come through again.

    Thank you for your wonderful words of wisdom. It's hard to not question whether this is the right thing since one day she'll seem just fine, and the next it's awful. I sure appreciate this input! It does make me feel better with the decision.

    Yes, she is home right now. They offered to let her stay until tomorrow morning at no charge, but we wanted her with us. It could be our last special moments if this isn't successful. We're both very scared and pessimistic right now. Let's pray her other kidney is functioning and all will be well. Hazel sure touched our hearts in a HUGE way.
