Farewell Phoebe, More meds for Marina
I've been treating my calico cat, Phoebe, for cancer for a couple of years, mainly two surgical removals of breast tumors. When the tumors returned, the cancer had metastasized and her kidneys were only functioning at 25%. Surgery was out of the question and I had already decided chemotherapy was not an option. When her tumor erupted and she began to lick it incessantly, I realized it was time to say goodbye. Because this illness was covered by Pets Best, the euthanasia was covered as well. It was a relief to provide a compassionate end to her suffering. Marina is being treated for asthma with two expensive medications. Pets Best covers the cost after deducting my copay. The coverage definitely makes it possible for me to continue treating Marina.
