rolanniI let Sprite go this morning.
Before Steve died, he noticed that she had a lump on her back, right next to her spine. The vet excised it, and it came out clean as a discrete lump. Lab tests were inconclusive.
Shortly after Steve died, Sprite was sitting on my lap, and I noticed that the lump was back, only larger. In the three days it took me to get her to the vet it had grown appreciably. It was so close to the spine that more surgery was not an option, so we opted to keep her comfortable. Yesterday, she let me know that it was time.
She was such a good cat -- she took care of all of us; was Steve's copilot, and mine, and she leaves a very large hole in this household which is already in tatters.
Sprite was attended by her vet and tech of many years, who eased her way with care and grace.
