So l have a 6.5 year old female who lived w my now deceased 15 yr old cat who passed in nov. I wouldnt say they ever were bonded but she tried to play w him he didnt care much for her. I decided to get a 6 mos old kitten 2 weeks ago. He had a mild uri so he stayed in extra room for 5 days. I...

Do you have other cats? Pets? I have 2 other cats so it def has helped ease my pain by having them around. I had to go to petsmart today which l dreaded going as thry always gave the adoption center. I walked in and saw a cat who looked so much like her (he was a boy though).....l had to walk...

So Very nice your vet you do that. Vet care is so expensive. I paid out more money in one year in vet bills then l have paid out probably in a lifetime of my own medical!! I was fortunate to raise $600 from friends and family l raffled off 2 gift baskets of goodies. I hope to not have to...

Wow that is a lot of money. So very sorry the outcome wasnt what you thought it be. I was willing to spend a bit but knew my limit. I only work part time. My other cat this past Sept got "sick" we ran so many test (blood work several times, ultrasound, xrays, blood again). He wasnt eating (and...

I agree sometimes the hardest decisions in life are the most painful. We cannot control situations. Just like people get rare diseases or babies die from cancer sometimes it is what it is. I feel blessed Chloe gave me more time. I also am happy l followed my heart and gave her some time. Had l...

Wow. 16 though is a great life. I will be honest if Chloe was over age 12 l may have not even considered surgery but she was only 9.5 years old and that is so young for a cat. My other cat died in 2005 of sarcoma. I did notice a lump but l was young and let it go. Months went by and it got...

I had to go to a specialist and was quoted $5,000. I did not have that kind of money. I was devastated. I cried all the way home. Then someone in my kickboxing class mentioned a vet in NJ (l am in PA) that l should call and see. The doctor who owns the practice had me send over all her records...

Thank you. I hate that our girls ended ip dying from something so rare. Thank you. I am so sad our girls ended up with something so rare. How old was Lola? I would of went another thousand miles with her on this journey but in the end she was tired and ready to be free.

Wow. As weird as it sounds its nice to finally talk with someone who has experienced this. I searched high and low and never could find any stories. This tumor is so rare in fact many vets will not even operate bc its so complicated. One of Chloes vets said he would never attempt it esp since...

I updated Chloes story in the health forum but today l made the heart breaking gut wrenching decision to end my cats battle with a very rare adrenal gland tumor. The vet said in his 45 years as a vet he has never come across a cat with this bc thats how rare it is. Chloe was only just 11 but...

I have not updated in awhile. Chloe continued to do well for months. We kept up with the potassium supplements 2x a day and 1/4 tablet of spironoloctane 2x a day as well. Chloe had ups and downs. Each time she was down in a few days she would be ok again. Last week Chloe began to suffer from...

I fostered 4 kittens who without knowing brought it into my home. It spread like wild fire to me, my nephews, and my own cats even tho my own cats never had contact. Its highly contagious. If you have other animals they need to be seperated from them. My cats were treated w a med that l...

1 week later and Chance is doing great!!!!! Eating and putting weight back on. Keeping my fingers crossed we stay on this road. We did not start predinisone. Glad l held off. Only time will tell but he is looking and acting back to his old self. Here he is sleeping safely in his my arms. ❤

I appreciate your concern but your being a little over the top. Pain meds were prescribed at our very first appt when we did not know what was wrong. My vet said l could discontinue them. You are implying l did nothing!! I did everything!! Drove 35 min to another state 4x this week w vet bills...

Thank you. I am also going to buy him a calming collar to.see if it helps with his anxiety. We are def not out of the woods but the last 2 days have been much improved.

He is doing well. We brought him home with sub q fluids, cerenia, mirizapane, and predinosone to start if l choose (he does have a heart condition we must be careful of). He also has pain meds if necessary. He is also taking nutrical. He is eating again, going to bathroom and seems good so far...

Vet did not say it was one or other she honestly said we are sorry we do not know I refused a biopsy. I dont have the money. Also if it were cancer l will not treat it. So yes, he could still very well have cancer. As a last ditch effort we are going to start predinisone. I am waiting a few...

I think they mentioned it but did not test yet.

See l was worried more about my 10 yr old female bc she is ill with heart disease she could careless. She puts the kitten in her place. Chance he just runs from her. But he is also small in size prob why she bugs him more. We have been syringe feeding but vet said this is not a long term option...

My cats been in and out of the hospital all week. Blood work, ultrasound, xrays, etc. What we know. He was refusing to eat and drink. Lost a lot of weight. Constipated. White blood count high. Treated w antibiotics - no change. Hospitalized overnight for iv nutrients. We cannot rule out cancer...
