This is one of my babies, Mystic. Several years ago (before I brought her into my home) she was diagnosed and had surgery for cancer of the mouth of some sort. Unfortunately, It has returned, much worse this time. I don't know what I'm going to do yet. We have her on antibiotics for now. I'm going to take it one day at a time. If you could keep her in your thoughts I'd appreciate it. She's one of my 3 babies and love her to death.
