Jazmin has not been feeling well the last few weeks and we thought she was having another episode with her back. We tried pain killers, but when they didn't work, we decided we needed a second opinion and took her to a very good vet here in town. We discovered she has lost almost 1/2 her body weight (down to 3.3 pds from a normal of 5.5 pds) and x-rays revealed a large mass in her abdomen. She is going in for surgery on Friday at 8am to have the tumor removed and a piece will be sent off to University of Georgia for testing to see if it is malignant.

If it is cancer, the vet said she will feel better, but most likely only for a short time. It is our hope and prayer that it is benign and we can keep our sweet baby in our lives for a while longer. We have debated, cried, gotten a 3rd opinion and prayed about this and we feel we are doing the best thing for Jazmin.

Please keep her in your prayers as we hope for a speedy recovery.
