Best of luck for the good health of your cat.
Earlier our family cat appeared to have a bleeding mass of sorts below her and we immediately rushed her to the nearest animal hospital, and it turns out it may be a mammary tumor. We're awaiting the results of her blood work and cytology to determine what it is she has, how treatable it is and if it'll require surgery to remove. We were even told she may not make it through the surgery if we go through with it, and due to her age (she's an older cat) that her chances of survival are lower than for a younger cat. We're hoping things work out in her favor and the results are good and whatever she has it's treatable and survivable. Please send your best thoughts, wishes and prayers (if you believe the latter) to our cat so everything works out for her and she makes it through this alive. Thank you, and I shall keep you all posted.
Some GREAT news, our cat's surgery went well and she's back home, doing fine. Her tumors were removed and from what we were told they were in fact cancerous but we got them in the nick of time before they could spread and become untreatable. I thank you all again for the support and well wishes, it means a lot to have our cat back alive and well and to know she had the support all the way through. Thanks again.
Thanks. We're taking her next week to get her stitches removed, and plan to get her examined at least once a month. With cancer you always have to stay on top of it.
Did they give you some weird cat little because of her stitches?
We finally took her today (blame incompetant and unattentive family members for the delay) and it appears she has a small tumor but thankfully it's been caught early. Our vet is going to remove it and it's a simple procedure to do so, and he'll also spay her so her hormones don't trigger more tumors. Thanks again for your support and I'll let you all know how she is when we get her back on Monday.
