Sorry I just now saw your post. My cat is doing very well, thank God. He is my little "bunny," who hops around quite well on his three legs. I hope I have him several more years. Thanks again to all of you for your care and support.
Thank you for the good vibes, CatNurse! He gets his stitches out Wednesday. Again, thanks to everyone. I'm so glad I made the decision to keep him alive, even with three legs.
Thanks so much to all of you who wrote. Mazik is doing great. I hope to have him around a few more years. I asked the vet if he thought it was bone cancer, and he said no, it seemed to be soft tissue cancer, but to be sure, I'd have to pay $125 more for a pathology report. As it is, the...
Carolinalima and Booktigger, thanks for your support. Mazik came home this evening. They had to syringe feed him (canned food) today. I got him to eat a few bites of canned food, and had to squirt some water in his mouth w/ a syringe, as he hasn't been drinking on his own. He seems pretty...
Here's what happened... last Thursday his tumor started to bleed more heavily. I knew there was nothing the dr. could do... he'd said he wouldn't cauterize it, because that doesn't always work. I was going to put him down. I had called a couple of emergency vets, and got prices. I was going...
Thank you so much, Carolina, for your generous offer. I'm in the San Antonio area, actually. Tonight when I came home from work, my cat was sitting on a chair, under the dining room table, in the dark, beneath the table cloth. He usually would only go there if he were very scared, like if...
Thanks to both of you for your concern and caring advice. I have a friend who said she'd consider coming over once a day to feed him, and her son could do it on the weekends. (I'd pay them, of course.) I just am not sure if it he'd be better off in the kennel, where there would be people...
Cat Nurse: Thank you so much for writing. You bring up some good points. Will for sure keep you updated. Thanks again! Oh, one more thing.. I'm Irish, and I couldn't agree more with the Irish Proverb on the bottom of your post! It's the truth!
Hi, I found this thread because I was searching the whole site for info on what the POINTS are, and how we earn and use them. Can anyone explain, please? Thanks.
Rainbow, it is absolutely not pathetic to "get worked up" over a cat, especially one you raised and loved. It is pathetic to not understand, to ridicule someone, and be so insensitive as those who said that to you. Be glad you had a chance to love Trixie... she was better off for having you in...
Hi, everyone. I'm new here. I needed to find a place where I can ask other cat owners my questions. Because I know you care.
My dear kitty Mazik is about 12 yrs old. He had a small lump on his leg (knee area) which I found a year or so ago. The vet drew out cells, and said she wasn't sure...
