I can't tell you in cm, but it was around the size of half a pea to a small pea sized bump. My cats surgeon suggested all future vaccines get done in the tail, towards the end of the tail. It is a bit more painful, but if a carcinoma happened there, they just lob the tail off with very large...

Is there any surgical option to remove the mass or is it too big? Chemo is expensive, but my cat did not have many side effects from it. It did not work well on her large cell lymphoma, it was just too aggressive. Is it possible to try and aspirate again and get a definitive diagnosis as to what...

My cat had a lump for a couple weeks after a vaccine, it is a localized swelling from the shot. I actually had it removed as I was concerned about injection site sarcoma. (It wasn't). As for the vaccine effectiveness, I am not sure. That is something you should ask your vet, and I would consider...

If the cat is that uncomfortable, would it be possible to bring it to the vet? It is hard to tell what could even possibly be wrong without pictures. Are the black dots growing from the cat, or are they something foreign stuck to the cat? Does it look like an infected wound? Was the cat possibly...

Do not administer another dose sooner. It probably absorbed pretty well anyways, as the gums are porous. If you administer a dose too soon, you could overdose your cat, do not risk it. Also, when it is time to feed the cat, make sure the food is very soft, you can add some warm (not hot) water...

Have you considered just putting him in 1 room and locking him in there? Perhaps you have an office, furnished basement, or maybe even your bedroom that the cat can stay in and the sister can stay out of?

I am not exactly sure about her condition with fluid, but is it possible to ask about lasix? It can help remove excess fluid and might give you a little more time to decide what to do as far as treatment or whatnot goes. Lasix is basically a pill that flushes water out of the system. It does...

Have you considered probiotics like fortiflora or perhaps this is a food allergy and a hypoallergenic food like hills z/d if the i/d does not work? Ask your vet about that.

If he just licked a drop off his nose. that won't do anything. Mineral oil can cause loose stools, but you would need more than just a few drops of it for that to happen.

I would probably keep them in the calmest room possible that is out of reach of danger. Do you have a room with no windows? Even perhaps a large closet? The less they hear or see of it is probably the better. Unfortunately animals are pretty keen to atmosphere pressure changes, so they will...

did the do a snap blood test for pancreatitis?

If you are in limbo, ask about starting prednisolone. It can help in the short term. If she is in pain, ask about pain-killers. If there is nausea, ask about cerenia or pepcid. There are definitely options to at least make your cat a bit more comfortable.

I pm'ed you some suggestions.

The medication is pricey. Flovent is like ~250/inhaler where I am (US). It is a human inhaler, so it lasts more than a month, but if you have to buy ~3 or so per year, do the math. Actually giving the cat a puff of an inhaler is not hard, there are special cat devices such as aerocat. My cat...

Have you considered chemo? It is chlorambucil pills given at home. Most kitties tolerate it very well.

Most GI lymphoma is small cell. Large cell lymphoma is a much more aggressive form, and unfortunately I have had experiences with both. My cat with large cell did not have it in the GI track, but was probably on a similar chemo protocol that your cat will go through. Unfortunately, she did not...

Is the liver issue because of fatty liver due to him not eating? Do you know his values? My cat has been through this with fatty liver and then again with a medication, both times he completely recovered. The liver takes time to heal from acute injury, but it is also one of the few organs that...

> "we started the Interferon treatment on her but I noticed Bebine had difficult breathing so I took her to the vet and he took a radiography that showed Bebine had liquid on her torax which prevented her lungs from expanding normally" It seems strange the breathing issues started immediately...

If there is a particular area that or patch that seems affected, maybe they can take a sample of that area and send it to the lab? You might get more information. Are there bumps in the affected area? Is it scaly?

You are doing the right thing, keep the feeding going. Keep in mind the liver can fully regenerate itself, but it may take weeks if not months to return to normal assuming this is indeed an acute episode of liver failure.
