I truly appreciate everyone's heartfelt condolences and my thoughts are also with those whom have lost their pets recently as well. We are slowly accepting it, and things are slow moving, but eventually things will get better. It may never be the same again but my wife and I know that he will...

Had to make one of the most difficult decisions in a long time tonight. Our little furry man Ralphie ended up having a few tumors that likely were cancerous (we had scheduled removal this thursday), he lost a lot of weight, and you could tell he was not feeling well. We rushed him to the vets...

Just wanted to give everyone an update and a big 'thank you' for all of your advice.  My wife and I came home from work last night, and tried to feed Ralph, and he ate a little, but had trouble breathing, so we rushed him to the vets. He was very stand-offish with everyone, and they had to wrap...

**Update** My wife and I returned home last evening from jogging, and we happened upon some cat throw-up. The second thing we noticed was that Ralphie was up on the table, which he normally does, however, when my wife went to pick him up and set him on the floor, she noticed a second lump, this...

Just a quick update. Ralphie has finished his antibiotics, he seems to be doing better. We scheduled the removal of his lump for April 2. The vet recommended it be removed since the biopsy was inconclusive. It seems like the lump has gotten bigger but it does not seem to have caused any ill...

I guess my wife said she noticed it when he was younger but it was much smaller and they did not really think much of it, but it has since become what it has. Thank you for the reply!

Thank you both for your reply. The reason I am discussing therapies/surgeries is that I like to cover all bases. It helps me cope with any possibility. With that being said, Ralphie's bloodwork came back, his thyroid function was normal, but his white cell count was sky high. He must have some...

A little back story on my boy Ralphie. He's 7/8 years old and never had many issues up until a few months ago. We had to take him in to get a chipped tooth removed, and he came through that fairly well, but he HATES going to the vet after that. ANYWHO.... Lately he has appeared to be normal...

Hello again! I have another conundrum with my Ralphie boy. He got much better, was all healed up, and on the mend for two weeks from having his tooth removed back in December. He was acting like his old self again. A few weeks ago my wife and I come home, and he comes out, does his thing, has...

Hello again! While I realize that it has been quite a while, I have another conundrum with my Ralphie boy. He got much better, was all healed up, and on the mend for two weeks. He was acting like his old self again. A few weeks ago my wife and I come home, and he comes out, does his thing, has...

Just wanted to give everyone an update. Ralphie is himself once again. We went to the vets last monday for a follow-up and his gums were still not healed. It appeared that the vet had taken a chunk of his gum out when the tooth was extracted and in place we thought it was bone, but when the vet...

So it's been a few days, and Ralphie is progressing. He's been eating next to his sister at feeding times, no hissing from her either! He is moving around the house but if he hears noises or gets startled he runs back to his safe room. It's good to see that he has been coming back out of his...

sounds like a good idea, I never really thought about getting pet insurance, but I might be doing just that after my cat gets over this little ordeal he went through and we switch vets.

Another update. He's still hunkered down in his safe room, but he did come out for a few seconds and ran back in. He's sitting on a chair under our desk in his safe room. I'm not really sure if he's just still feeling crappy or maybe he is fearful of my wife and I since we were the ones that...
