Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Hi Everyone:
Tipper is really bored we woke up to snow on the ground so I hope it warms up so she can walk? I noticed when massaging her yesterday that the fatty lumps she has are getting very large, and very quickly. She has always had these in the past, but they never got this big this fast. Some are in places that have to hurt. I even found a really big one on her ear at the bottom by her head. I do not want to put her under, so I need to discuss this with my vet. She did have a decent sleep after some tremor activity. Delora called me again last nite. She said she hurt her knee and can barely walk. Her sons wife gives her a phone to use only when they are home and can listen to what is being said. The cat is beginning to cry for her and not want to eat very much. I asked my other neighbor to start asking any friend if they want her, in the event Delora does not come home. I do not think she will ever be back, but I will wait. I know what a hard time I had placing Grace, so this will be even harder to find a home for her.Tipper was making those real congested noises again last note and when we got up I noticed her eyes just filled with goopy mucus. I cleaned her up, but want to know what is going on here. I feel it has some connection to the swallowing and always trying to clear her throat. She is getting mucus from somewhere. I feel bad for her and Toby they are really sick of this weather.If I can get up enough energy I need to clean this house. I am just really down about my friend and real low energy. This is hard to shake off. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
First I just want to mention my neighbor Delora is in the emergency room, that is all I know right now. Please say a prayer for her. I had to keep busy so I cleaned the house. Not a real great job, but it will do for now. The dogs walked once as it is still too cold. It is snowing here again. The cat is looking for Delora and sitting on a chair next to the door when I went in. I am worried she may try to run out when I open the door. She is upst not knowing where Delora is as she was used to sitting on Deloras lap while Delora watched TV. I feel bad for her. I think if anything happens to Delora the will hurry and take the cat and lock up the house. I am afraid they will just take the cat and let it out some where or shoot it. I am not feeling real great as all this news has really impacted me. Tipper and I are laying down and watching the news, and Toby is sleeping. I shall wait until someone calls me about Delora. Blessings

Oh my gosh Patti, what a horrible few days you are having.

I hope they wouldn't do anything so horrid to Delora's poor kitty who is just missing some human companionship and her special person.

Did they aspirate those lumps to find out if they lipoma's? Some of them can grow pretty fast I've heard, but that isn't traditionally how Tippers have been?

Sorry the mucus problem seems to be back. grrrrr

Spring has to show up here one day soon I'd think Patti. Just hang in there.
I saw a dove on the deck yesterday. Every year they show up when spring is here or just about here, so I know the weather will warm up soon. (or I'm going to have some cold doves out there!)

I saw a robin today, I'll send him on to you:):):)

Sending hugs

signs of spring for all of you finally! overhere we do have some frost at night. -2C or so.
and patti, i hope you can find some time to relax despite everything going on.
i never had a dog with lumps or throat problems etc. so i can not help you with this one.

Patti,
the whole situation is sad. Can you get to the hospital and tell the doctors all that you know about her son and wife so that they can place her somewhere safe if she can't come home?

If the cat is healthy, I would take it to your home now. From there, you can find her a home without worrying about Delora's family.

I am so sorry that this is all happening and I hope that her son gets what he deserves. I hate to sound harsh, but he is a disgusting excuse for a human and makes the rest of us look bad.

Tipper's mucus and now goopy eyes make me think of allergies.

Take care sweetie.

Hi Patti, I haven't checked in on your thread in a while, but I wanted to stop by and thank you for still keeping up on my thread. I think about Tipper often, and hope you are holding up.

Are you thinking of taking in Delora's cat with you until you know what's going on with her? It's so sad the cat is just waiting for her. I would hate to think her son would go in there and try to get rid of the cat.
Just hearing our weather forecast...snow due here tomorrow afternoon and night...not too much they say. Guess we'll see.
I hope Tipper and Toby are having a good night...and your other babies too.

Hi Everyone:
Well I just spoke to Delora. Her son is sending her to a nursing home. I knew he would never take care of her. I told her ai need to do something about the cat. Yesterday when I went to feed it her daughter in law came stomping in the door and scared the daylights out of me. Talked down to me and real smart, acting like I did not belong in Deloras house. Looking in the refrigerator etc.to make sure nothing was missing!!!. It took every ounce of will power I had not to tell her
off. Then she told me Delora was in the emergency room, that is how I found out.She lied and told me a different hospital. So I called around and found her. I explained to Delora, because her cat was nor up to date on shots and never checked for Corona virus, I could not take her in. She asked me to find her a home. I said I am not getting in the middle of this, and finally after 6 years of holding back,told her everything about her son and daughter in law. She said I am so sorry. I told her to tell her son to care for the cat, as after yesterday I have had it with them. I am afraid if I take the cat somewhere like my other neighbors house her son will start trouble. I am putting a call into the social worker at the hospital this afternoon, because they have a meeting with her this morning. I am going to fell htoer all about this son. Tipper has laser therapy today. It will be good to go for a ride, as I can't handle any more bad news this week. Tipper had a lot of tremoring going on last nite. She has been sleeping a lot as she is bored. She got up at 5 am this morning. Just got a phone call from Deloras cousin, and HSR son will not tell them anything. I will post after therapy today. Blessing.

Hi Everyone:
I just typed a long post and lost it, because Tipper is trying to attack my tablet since I played the video of Leslies she thinks my he tablet is barking and ruined the corner of the cover. As you have probably guessed you were going to read, I took the cat. I took it to my neighbor mans house. It jumped right up on his lap like it was at home. Could he possibly fall for her???? Let's pray he does. I told him not to tell anyone where it is. I needed to get it out now as when I see her son and daughter in law it won't be them talking smart to me. They will be real shocked as fireworks will be going off. Delora will be going straight to a home from the hospital. Some time when they are not around, which will probably be always, I will ask Iif I can take the cat to see her. Tipper and Toby had 2 walks. I am glad she got out as the sun is out and looks beautiful. I am planning a trip to the cemetery where my best friend was buried. I need to see her gravestone and tell her I am sorry I let her down when she needed me. It will have to be a nice day when Tipper feels good as I will have to take her and Toby with me. It is nice that you can get maps of the cemetery and see pictures of the stones. It is weighing heavily on my mind, but have the cat to care for this week. I will have to run to the neighbors and feed and clean up after it. Sometimes life is not kind. Blessings
