My cat is an almost 8yo tabby.
I took him for a teeth cleaning and the vet said he found this tumor.
It's not an aggressive one but it prevents him from eating. The vet proposed an operation to partly remove the jaw bone, but it's a very invasive surgery and he said not all cat were willing to eat post surgery with only a half jaw bone. The cat are disfigured and the tumor will slowly but surely re grow anyway.
If we do nothing he will just refuse to eat and it will be over.
I don't know what to do. Does anyone know something about this ? Ope or not ope ?
