Has anyone had a cat with an oral mass that turned out to be benign? Looking for a little bit of hope here after reading so many horror stories.
Background: I took my cat Orville in for emergency care a couple of weeks ago for some GI issues, and while he was there the vet discovered a mass in the back of his mouth. They said it was unrelated to his GI symptoms (which did resolve), but said it could be cancer and I need to have it biopsied. I'm getting him into his regular vet next week but in the meantime, I'm worried sick. Orville is eating, drinking, and playing, and doesn't have bad breath, bleeding, drooling, or facial swelling.
I do know there is a probability of oral cancer, but looking to see if anyone had an oral mass biopsied that turned out to be less scary.
