Well mixed responses from Jazzy today.

She has been eating a fair amount and has been pretty active. I played phone tag with the vet over the weekend and he will be back in tomorrow. I don't quite understand what he was saying.......he said something about the tracheal wash and needle aspirate having strange results....he had originally said that the initial results showed cancer, but they would have to send it off to the lab to be sure. Then he said the lab thought things looked normal, but they saw some bacteria in the culture.

I didn't want to get my hopes up, but to me it sounded like she got lucky and that .0001% chance of having something other than cancer came true. He might have also meant that they got no results from the tests and now I'll have to do a biopsy.

Jazz was doing great, but just a few minutes ago she starting coughing - the worst she has ever done. Kinda shot down my high as we have been hanging out and spending some serious QT together the last few days. I know its probably bad news.......but I just want my girl to have a couple of good months left.

Keep getting better, Jazzy! I'm praying for you, precious little girl!

HI there. Did the vet ever indicate that Jazzy may have something as simple as a respiratory infection...that could be treated with antibiotics? My prayers go out to little Jasmine in hopes that the diagnosis is good news!!! Mayeba second opinion wouldn't be a bad idea, prior to having a biopsy done? Just a thought

Get well Jazzy!!

Well we never got anything solid from the tracheal wash and needle aspirate. The only way to find anything solid is a biopsy. I'm really nervous - she goes in tomorrow AM for the biopsy and then I leave town for work for two days. Its going to be very nerve racking. I still don't quit understand everything, but from what the vet told me we can't treat her for cancer as its not treatable, but we can't treat her for the possibility of a respitory infection if we don't have solid results since there are so many side effects.

This is one of the worst situations I've ever been in....please continue to keep Jazz in your thoughts and prayers.

(((((vibes)))) for Jasmine!

I hope Jasmine feels better soon

Well shes home from surgery...half of her side is shaved. She is pretty tame right now..she has a long recovery in front of her. She had to have a tube in her throat for two days.

She hasn't been moving around too much, but last night she busted down the cat door I keep on my bedroom door. (allows her to come and go as she pleases) It was locked cause the vet said she shouldn't be moving much, but she broke through it! I had to block it w/ a suitcase today.

For some reason she's been hanging out in the sink all day. Usually she opts fo the heated cat bed. I have to leave town again tonight until Sun but my roomate will be here. I haven't gotten the results from the biopsy yet, but I'm praying that its not cancer.

I'm glad she's home from surgery and with you. I'll be sending up many prayers for sweet Jasmine.

I'm glad that she seems to be doing a little better. Good luck, and I'll say a prayer.

Good luck for the results. Poor little Jasmine.

Jasmine, girl, you are loved. Please get well. Prayers to you.

Well, its been almost a year since I've been on this site.

Jazz has done ok after the surgery. They found out it wasn't cancer, but an inflamation of the lungs that was just as serious. She's been on inhalers and other treatments since then. She did slightly better for a while, and has progressed poorly in the last few months.

Friday I took her to the vet for a six month follow up. Shes lost a lot of weight and is struggling to breathe even more. The vet said the car ride was really hard on her and he didn't want to do any x rays or blood work because she just can't handle that stress. He said she probably only has a few months left.

Shes been bad since we got home. That car ride must have been bad. She's breathing hard and isn't eating. I just left a message for the vet to see what they think.

I don't want to face it, but this could be it. Hopefully shes just stressed from the car ride still and will start eating again.

I obviously don't know any of your, but want to thank you as fellow cat owners for your prayers and support.

I am so sorry that it isn't looking good for her, but she has had longer than you initially thought, and hopefully it has been a good time. She looks like she has similar markings to my PEbbles in that pic, and she is lovely. i have everything crossed for you

I am so sorry to hear this news about sweet Jasmine. God bless you and hugs to you. Prayers for you, Jasmine.

Thanks for the good words. Shes real up and down right now.....she'll lie normal for a while, then she'll start open mouth breathing again, then normal. I tried to give her some medicine, but it really stressed her out again. I just need her to start eating. I'm waiting on the vet to call me back still.........

Prayers and vibes for both of you!

Jazz is so pretty, and I'm sorry to learn she isn't doing well. I'll keep you and her in my thoughts and prayers, and please update us about her condition.
