    Radiation cancer therapy worth it? Side Effects?

    Hi. I am sorry for what Jack is going through. Is the tumor in his jaw bone? Are they calling it an osteosarcoma? Or a shamus cell carcinoma? Either way, there is not a good prognosis. It, sometimes cats don’t follow rules. Are you working with or seeing an oncologist?

    Radiation cancer therapy worth it? Side Effects?

    No tumor in the jaw bone, no jaw bone anymore. Luke has squamous cell carcinoma (oral). It grows fast in size but is slow to spread into other types of tumors. other face parts doen't "have a tumor" it's just a plum sized tumor in his face where the other parts should be.

    Hard lump on cats lower jaw bone (left side). Been to vet but want your opinions!

    ...her to look at the area and noticed that there was a bone-hard lump along her left jawline. Of course, I freaked out. Convinced she had osteosarcoma or squamous cell carcinoma, I rushed her to the ER vet 2 hours away. The vet said it could be an abscess or cancer. They sedated her and did...

    Probable apocrine gland carcinoma - 12 year old tabby

    ...taken from three weeks ago and now. Total erosion of her scapula on the same side as her previous mass. This may be an unrelated osteosarcoma, but I fully believe that this has developed secondary to her initial mass. Heartbroken. If there's anything to learn from this it would be to always...

    Oral mass

    Osteosarcoma is very rare in cats. Unfortunately Squamus cell carcinoma is more prevalent in oral tumors. Just try to keep him happy as you can for now. Worrying won’t do any good. I know, easier said than done when it comes to not worrying.

She's leaning toward the possibility of osteosarcoma, but we won't have biopsy results back for 1-2 weeks most likely. I'll update again once we have those results back. I'm trying so hard to stay...

    Are There Any Health Benefits To Letting Your Cat Go Into Heat Once?

    ...Articles Speaking from my own personal experience and we've had many, many cats, none of them whether male or female have ever been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, prostate/bladder cancer or any other illness due to spay or neuter. I'm sure other members can weigh in with their thoughts too.

    I/O at vet's

    Ok, no dental issues, and she came through the sedation ok. They clipped her claws for me, too! She's a pain to clip. She has an osteosarcoma on the lower part of the left side of her jaw. I looked up treatment - since this type of tumor is generally found on extremities, traditional treatment...

    Are There Any Health Benefits To Letting Your Cat Go Into Heat Once?

    Thanks for sharing. I'm just curious, since the studies on all of this is severely lacking. I spayed my cat shortly after I got her. But I see people asking this question and then demanding proof all the time.

    My cat has gone from limping to dragging his rear legs

    ...however, I can't pretend to know that your vet is thinking about this. I also wonder if an MRI and CT scan would have conclusively shown osteosarcoma if it were present. It sounds as if the doctor is being proactive and is not unable to contact other vets. This was a neuro referral already...

    Are There Any Health Benefits To Letting Your Cat Go Into Heat Once?

    I don't know of any studies to back up those claims in cats, and I have not heard of those things even being an issue caused by spay/neutering for cats. Again though I have read that spaying/neutering dogs, especially large breed dogs, too early can cause those kinds of issues, mostly do to the...

    Are There Any Health Benefits To Letting Your Cat Go Into Heat Once?

    So one argument I've heard against spaying/neutering, and it should be more choice based, is that the spay/neuter can cause problems with " osteosarcoma, prostate and bladder cancer, and more." Is there any studies that can back this up?
