Hi,
I've been looking at these forums for a short time since my cat was diagnosed with a bone tumour in his left front leg, and it was quite aggressive at that. The only options were to amputate it, or put him down, really. And of course the latter option isn't worth thinking about. So he was put on a two week diet scheme as he weighed 7.7 kilos at the time, but after a week we called them about bringing it forward, as it was bothering him now and growing more prominent. The vet, after the operation was done, said we'd made the right decision as it was a very nasty bone tumour, and had to be done ASAP.
The only problem is, despite the painkillers given at the vets, he's lying on the floor, crying out in pain, as he just can't get comfortable at all, and it makes me absolutely sick to my stomach seeing this once confident cat reduced to crying on the floor. I have been given painkilling medicine in the form of a syrup, to put on his food, but I don't know if I should give him it in case I overdose him.
Any ideas? He's just crying out in pain and appears to have a rough night ahead of him. I'm sorry to put it so briefly, but the last time I wrote this out, my browser shut down!
... My poor Calypso.
