All bad news all the time...

So we (I and the vet) thought Oscar had been doing really well. She's been listening to his lungs and things have sounded clear. While he was showing signs of pain, we got an X-ray (she calls it a cat-o-gram ) and his lung X-rays came back terribly! She sent them to the specialist and he said that his lungs are worse than they were before.

He wants to do a lung aspiration which is an unanesthetized procedure where they insert a needle into the pleura of the lung and withdraw what is called (according to the specialist) lung juice.

It's diagnostic and I'm frantic about it. Last time we took Oscar up, by the time we got there he was in such distress, they spent the first hour trying to get him calmed down enough to examine him. I don't see this going well.

I'm just about in tears - I just don't know what to do anymore.
