Good morning!

Tillie and I need your prayers. Last night, I noticed her left ear was very pink so I picked her up to investigate and discovered black gunk in it. Some of you know our history with her surgeries to remove ear polyps and the trauma it caused both of us. Four years ago when she had the second surgery and almost died from complications, I promised her "no more surgery". I will keep to my promise.

I'm hoping it is not polyp, perhaps it is just mites. I'm going to the vet's office this afternoon to get some ear wash and do some cleaning to see what it looks like and if the gunk continues to appear. If it does, I'll take her in next week and have her doctor check it out. If it is a polyp, we'll just deal with keeping the ear clean. When she reaches the point of pain and discomfort, I'll help her to the Rainbow Bridge. But no more surgery; neither of us can handle it. I just found one of her pictures the other day that was taken after the last surgery and almost cried at how pitiful she was. I cannot put either of us through that again.

So please say a prayer for us ... thanks for listening!

I am hoping it is just gunk and not a tumor or cyst. I put Tiger to sleep as I could not cause him any more pain so I know!
