Hi everyone, I just wanted to come back and share how everything turned out with Dexter’s surgery and biopsy results. I’m happy to report that it is all good news! Dex had surgery last Monday to remove the growth I discovered, and he did very well with the procedure and recovery. He has 5...

5 years with minimal change is a good sign, and if the vet has seen it and wasn’t concerned, that’s great too! Our vet recommended removal as soon as she returned from reviewing the cytology of the sample taken from Dex. She also said we could monitor it for awhile but preferred that we just...

Thank you! I’m so proud of my handsome boy ♥️

I most definitely will!

I am so relieved. Still nervous for procedure day and the pathology results (always fear that small chance that some surprise will show up) but I think realistically we caught it nice and early and Dex will be okay ♥️

Here is a photo of my beautiful boy as well, I hope it worked!

Hi everyone, We saw our vet with Dex this afternoon and I would like to provide an update. Our vet did an impression smear on his skin bump - it had scabbed over because I had shaved the area. The vet said this scab made it easy to get a scraping sample of cells because it was more of an open...

I have been crying all morning and feel so nervous for our vet appointment which is in a few hours. Just can’t seem to shake the worst case scenario thinking. I love my cat so much just want everything to be okay for him 😔

Hi Krienze! Thank you for sharing your experience. Crazy that your pup would bite them off 🙀 I’m glad they were never anything serious! Reading these experiences does help to settle my mind and it gives some perspective that animals can and do have harmless lesions. I feel better today and still...

Thank you so much for posting a photo! It was definitely clear enough for me to compare. Dexter’s is quite a lot smaller but has a similar white colouration to it. Can’t say for certain of course but it is possible that his is the beginning of a cyst too. It’s interesting to me because I have a...

Thank you so much Cat McCannon. I would do anything necessary for Dexter no matter what it is. It's just so hard when they need to have vet appointments and tests. I sent some photos to my vet because they couldn't squeeze us in for an appointment today but haven't heard back yet. Trying to...

AbbysMom, I actually wondered if it was possibly a sebaceous cyst, but I have never seen one on a cat before and I wasn't exactly sure what they would look like. How would you describe Abby's cysts? She is beautiful by the way! Amazing eyes in your photo.

Hi furmonster mom, thank you for sharing your story about Loki! Reading experiences like yours give me the reassurance I need when I’m worried about my boy’s health. I had a not-so-great night, I spent it just sitting around upset and thinking the worst. I’m glad to have read this message...

That’s definitely a positive! Thank you for replying :)

I’m sorry to hear you’re in the same situation - it’s horrible to wait and not know what could be wrong. I hope for a positive outcome for your kitty. Dexter’s might not even be the size of a lentil, it’s so small. I would agree to go straight to an excisional biopsy if we have to. I will...

Hi everyone, I come to you all today, extremely worried about a small growth I found on my cat Dexter’s left side. We are going to the vet tomorrow if they have an appointment time available. If not then, he will be seen this week, and I’m going to ask for a needle aspirate and/or biopsy of...

Poor Greg!!! It sounds like a terrible illness but I am so glad to hear about Greg and many other kitties recovering from it! Always helps to read others’ experience with this. Dexter is doing better today, he ate two good sized meals so far and is up and about, watching the birds outside. He...

Thanks so much for the help and kind wishes mightyboosh and di and bob. Dex is resting quietly and hopefully will be back to his old self soon!

I have another Dexter update. The pancreatitis screening test came back normal, thankfully. He had his ultrasound this morning too, and the vet said his organs look good/normal with nothing sinister, with the exception of his gallbladder. She diagnosed him with cholangiohepatitis, which to my...

So glad Oliver is doing better. We are on our way to get Dexter an ultrasound. Hoping we have some answers so we can get him on the road to recovery 🙏🏻
