Hello,
Took my cat to the vet to have her teeth cleaned, they shaved her left leg to put her under, when i went to pick her up they indiicated thats she had what appears to be a tumor on her leg.which they did not seem to be concerned about. A month later I ask if there was a test they could do to determine what the mass was. They used a needle and drew out some fluid for testing. The test came back indicating some sort of cancer (spinal cell i think). Anyway they recommeded a vet hospital north of Pittsburgh.
Took her there for a consulation and based on the Test Results they were pretty sure it was cancer.....even recommeded amputating her leg. I told them to cut the mass out and send for a biopsy. Got the resutls last week turns out it was bb pellet in her leg.
I am grateful that she is well and doesnt have cancer but had someone did an x-ray i dont think (i could be wrong) that the surgery would not be so evasive and expensive..............any thoughts.............i take her today to get stiches out just wondering if i or you would ask more questions.
