Missing Smokie

I never followed up to my post on 3/15. That day I was rubbing Smokie's neck (she loved that) -- and found 2 holes in her neck, each 1/2 inch wide. I touched her underneath them--and fluids came rushing out. Poor Smokie's tumor was ulcerating & eating away at her skin. I decided then & there it was time to say goodbye. Don't know why I hadn't seen the holes before. She was looking straight up in the air & I got a good look. She drank a lot of water but still seemed a little dehydrated--no wonder. It would literally leak out of her. So terrible! She's been gone a couple weeks now, the cats still seem different....she really was The Queen....
