We're losing her.

This morning, I noticed that Isis' pupils were different sizes, so I called the vet, and they worked her in. It's probably a brain tumor. The vet suggested humane euthanasia, because she has "days" left. I was there by myself, so I asked if we could wait. He gave her a steroid shot, and now I'm home. Ben's coming home soon.

She's had trouble eating the last few days, and she's wobblier than before, despite glucosamine supplements (which helped for a few days, but she got worse again). She can't see very well, she gets stuck in corners, and she misses the litter box a lot.

We won't be home from tomorrow morning until Sunday evening. Right now, she seems happy enough, talking some, walking around and stuff. I took her outside, and she found some grass and ate it. But she could have a seizure any time. I don't want her to die when I'm not around. I don't want to be callous and euthanize her before the con so she doesn't die alone. I don't know what to do.

I'm not ready for this.

I don't know if anybody else's advice is at all useful at this point, but... If it's a choice between letting her go now and being certain that you're there with her, and potentially losing her while you're not there, it seems like it may be better to do it sooner.

I can't imagine your weekend is going to be any fun either way. But I don't know if you want to be doing the con and all the while wondering about what might be happening to her while you're away.

I don't know. It's a lousy situation. I'm really sorry it had to come to this all of a sudden. If there's anything I can do to help, drop me a line.
