At this point, I'm convinced the universe hates me. I'm not even joking. You all know that Pluie had a suspicious oral mass recently. We took her to another city to see a very expensive specialist. Thankfully, it was a benign granuloma. Surgery and an extraction healed it completely! The...

Final update on my little Pluie's situation! You can read my past posts for more details, but in summary, in March 21 she developed a hard lump on her lower jaw which turned out to be an abscess. It was drained, and a rotten tooth was removed. On April 1, we took her back to our family vet...

So, on March 21st, my cat's right lower jaw swelled out of the blue and was painful. We rushed her to the vet that night, and they took dental x-rays and a fine needle aspirate of the lump. The aspirate showed neutrophils and tons of rod-shaped bacteria under the microscope. Based on that and...

Three days ago, I was petting my cat on the side of the head when she winced and ran away. I grabbed 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...

I swear, the universe absolutely hates me. I feel like I could melt down at any moment. We are dealing with a possible bile duct cancer recurrence in one cat, and then the other night, we had a horrifying experience with our other cat who is otherwise healthy. Let me preface by saying that we...

Man has it been a journey. Very brief background -- in December, Sangria had a liver lobectomy at a specialist hospital to remove a well-differentiated massive (not nodular or diffuse) mass on her liver. It turned out to be bile duct cancer. Good news from pathology was that Sangria's seemed to...

Sangria has hepatic lipidosis. It's my fault. She was on Flagyl, and it made her stop eating. She would eat a bit, but I guess not enough. She saw a general vet and an internal medicine specialist. They prescribed: - Hills a/d emergency food - subq fluids (LSR) - clavamox - Mirtazapine Her...

Our vet referred Sangria (female 12-year-old persian) to a specialist hospital because she palpated a mass. Ultrasound imaging showed a large, singular mass attached to her liver by a finger-like strip of tissue. We opted for surgical removal with the specialist and analysis of the mass...

Sangria (12) started pooping outside of the box a bit over a month ago. She was still urinating in the box, so we took her to our usual vet to rule out anything medical. Our vet palpated an abdominal mass and did an x-ray. The x-ray showed a mass, so we were referred to a specialist hospital...

We adopted Sangria from a rescue ten years ago. She's the sweet smooshy baby in my profile picture. We have three other smooshy cats, and we had recently just finished paying off a loan for $3,000 for nose surgery for one of them when we found out that Sangria was ill. It started with stool...
