Caturday: Always a New Wrinkle



Our sweet little Snyezhka, who survived breast cancer and overcame diabetes, only to be diagnosed with lung cancer -- two tumors in her left lung. So far, so good. One chemo compound was not effective, but the cancer did not grow. Snyezhka is on another compound; it is holding the cancer at bay although not putting it into remission.

Prone to upper respiratory infections (URI), she is on and off clavamox regularly. It is usually effective. I was not surprised, then, when she started sneezing last week, but instead of a few day's build up, by evening of the first day, she was having difficulty breathing. We took her to the vet -- and the vet put her on oxygen immediately and then once again during the appointment.

Clavamox came to the rescue, and she seemed better. However, just in case, I wanted her oncologist to know. We took her in, and the oncologist suspected -- and found -- pneumonia. I wonder what would have happened had we not had the second look.

Word to me (and the wise): when something seems really out of the normal, perhaps the normal treatment is not quite enough. Perhaps a second opinion, or at least a second look, is needed.
