This past week has been very difficult for me...
I was dealing with Lucky who decided to stop eating on me, and then I found a mass on Bugsy's belly. ALL AT THE SAME TIME. Being unemployed, and having $40 on your wallet for food and bills for the next couple of weeks, this is no piece of cake, I tell ya. I do have a credit on Bugsy's Dentist office, which is also an animal hospital, and I had to make a very difficult decision - to cheat on Bugsy's dental treatment (Bugsy won't need this credit for a few months), and decide if these things they are going through right now are indeed an emergency "worthy" of touching that $$$.
They do have insurance, so that money would go towards paying the deductible and some of the bill, and would be replaced ASAP, when the insurance check was received...
Anyways, The vet is only available on Saturday, but the vet tech, who is VERY good, told me to bring them both in to look at them, he would help me to make a decision.
First Lucky - He thinks she is fine, and I agree with him. I slowly have been able to make her eat, and she is back to her old self - she is playing, and acting normal. A few days ago she was strange... He thinks she did have something like all of us have sometimes, but is coming around on her own, and will be just fine. As soon as she came home, she went straight to her plate, and gobbled it down! She ate and ate and ate! I was so relieved! This was the first time she ate on her own in a few days (she had been eating, but I was feeding her).
Anyways... Now the BAD news.
Bugsy has a tumor. It is not an abscess, it is a tumor... He said it needs to come out, as it is attached to the muscle, and it has a very nonuniform shape; it has a lot of edges, and it is under the skin, not on the skin. So, he is schedule to have surgery on the 22nd. I am freaking out to no end.
WHY????? WHY this has to happen to my boy? My poor sweet boy, sooo sweet, the sweetest of the kitties...
He told me to not freak out, that the doctor will make a small incision, and when he takes it out, he will decide by the shape of it if it needs to go to biopsy of not.
I just hope, pray and hope it is not cancer... I don't know what I am going to do...
It is on his belly, close to his chest, about an inch in size.
Please , please send vibes to my boy
