ebonlockSo Miss Kage (a.k.a. Kage-sama, a.k.a. Miss Thing) is currently spending some quality time at the vet and will be there having her kidneys flushed through Saturday. The current plan is if she perks up and her numbers look good after the treatment we'll move forward with the surgery. The vet is going to use gas rather than intravenous anesthesia which will be less traumatic on the kidneys but he's dubious about having enough skin to close up the wound once the tumor is removed. Also she's probably going to lose a toe but that's hardly the end of the world.
If her numbers aren't better after the treatment then we postpone the surgery until it becomes unavoidable. But at the very least she should be feeling better once the toxins are flushed out of her system, so that's something. And the way I look at it she's getting a few days away from Pye, so aside from the medical stuff she'll need to tolerate, it's almost like a vacation.
On the other hand Pye isn't handling things at all well. To say he's more than a little freaked out would be a vast understatement. When I brought the carrier home without Kage in it he became profoundly distressed and only just now settled down. It's going to be a long night.
Aelf is going to swing by and visit her tomorrow and I'll be there on Saturday whether she comes home that day or stays until Monday for the surgery.

But no matter what happens, you gave Kage a loving and stable home, which is more than tens of thousands of cats and dogs get. Be proud of that, and no matter what happens, remember the good times always.
