Update on Corn with Tumor

Aww Sue don't feel what you and the vet did wasn't enough. Some creatures just can't be saved, either the disease is a fatal one or it's so far progessed that the damage is just too great to reverse. I think you are wonderful to have taken the little corn on and tried your very best but knew when enough was enough and made that ultimate hard but humane decision.

Aw, Jo - I didn't really mean it that way - I guess I feel that unfortunately I can't work miracles ;) and the way I wrote it it just came out wrong. I know my vet did everything he could and so did I - it was just all too late because maybe if it had been caught sooner (i.e. had she been mine from the beginning she'd have been in that vet's faster than she could grab a mouse). But even moving quickly can't guarantee absolute miracles.

Ooops read that wrong then maybe (a difficulty of purely typed communications). I agree with you there, even with the best and fastest vet care we can't always save them. We lost a beautiful black lab female dog a few years back to a fatal blood disorder (cancer) that showed up quickly and took her quickly. Nothing anyone could do but decide when it was appropriate to take that final drive. Frustrating for our vet and awful for our family but you can only do what you can do.

At least the little snake received good care and wasn't left to suffer out it's last days forgotten in some dirty tank in a corner.
