I took Kitty to the vet today for the CT scan, so we could find out what was wrong. The vet thought, as did I, that it was a nasal polyp or polyps. Easily treated.
They do the scan under general anesthesia. The vet called me about an hour and a half ago to tell me that Kitty started bleeding heavily from the lungs under anesthesia, so they halted all plans for the scan and got to work stabilizing her. She didn't know what had caused the bleeding.
The vet called me again a little over half an hour ago. Kitty is awake and more or less stable. She also coughed up some tissue. They examined it under a microscope, and it looks like she has a cancerous tumor of the trachea.
It was not supposed to be like this. It was never supposed to be like this. Not so suddenly. Not so soon. Not when she should have had so many more years ahead of her.
