Oh My..... Panic Mode

[Craftlady]

This morning Thumper's soft spot decided to open up. OMG what a mess.
Panic mode set after I was examing this area and part of the scab pulled up and shot blood all over the toliet. Short version story, I had to call back and appologize to vet's office for screaming at them in the background. Bless our vet's heart, he call us back around noon, we had been in contact with office prior.

I put a call into our friend who came over just as the bleeding stopped (thanks to the towel pressure).

This was what she warned us might happen. It's a GOOD thing but scares the crap out of you when it happens.

Now I know, the tumor has it's own blood supply. So it's NOT a major artery causing her to bleed to death. As long as it doesnt bleed from her eyes, mouth we are ok.

After it was all over, she waltzes up stairs and is sleeping.

Mom and Dad are still slightly unraveled.

WOW what a scare! I hope this is a GOOD sign, as you said...

Once you can breathe again, can you tell if her tumour is any smaller?

OMG I would have been frantic. Poor you and poor Thumper.

Tumor is not smaller.
You can tell the area around the scab is down ever so slightly.

OMG! How scary that would be. I've been away for awhile so not sure if I saw the thread on the tumor. I wish the best for all of you.

Oh my...how terribly scary and unnerving. Glad she's sleeping peacefully now.

As for mom and dad...breathe deep...breathe deep. If that fails, try valium.

:D

Yes, that would have been a major panic for me! Thank God they had warned you ahead of time or you may have had a heart attack... (I would have). Is this going to happen again? Poor Thumper, she has been through so much and she is such a trooper!

Abbymom's:
LOL
I told hubby we need stock in wine coolers


Laura:
Yes, this will happen again, possibily several more times. This bleeding is a way to release the pressure. It's fluid build up from the tumor producing it's on blood supply.

Great vibes going your way! :( :)

We are sending prayers for Dear Thumper and pray that the white coats can help your dear old friend recover. The Pet Angels will bring Thumper some kicking shrimps and see if that helps.

No wonder I missed it. I rarely go anywhere but General since I barely have time to make even make it there. I will read this through when I get home and actually "allowed" on the internet, since I'm really not suppose to be on it here at work. Thanks!

:eek: :eek: :eek: Yikes! Good thing you were prepared for that! In a lighter vein, years ago when I had dogs, I was towel drying Charmin, my peke-a-poo after a bath and she liked it when I roughed her up a bit. I put the towel over her head and jostled her and she would always bite the towel and we'd tussle w/it a bit. Well! When I pulled the towel off her head, one of her eyeballs was partially out of the socket! :eek: :eek: :eek: I didn't know what to do so I instinctively pushed it back in, called my vet hysterical and he very calmly said "That happens sometimes w/Pekingese dogs. Did you push the eyeball back in?" I told him that I did but I wanted to bring her in RIGHT NOW for him to check her over to make sure I hadn't done any damage. We put Charmin on the exam table and he said "Is this what happened?" and he popped her eyeball partially out of the socket again. I weakly said "Yes. Oh god, did I do damage now and is it going to do that a lot?" He said "No, it'll probably never happen again, especially now that you know about it and will be watching for it." Needless to say, I never roughed up Charmin after her bath again.

Oh gosh that sounds awful and scary. Poor Thumper - and poor you.

Leave it to a cat to casually walk away and take a nap after an episode like that!!! I agree about the wine coolers!!! Take Care!!!

[Donnaj4962]

Oh my.... I would have been hysterical, even though you had been warned that would happen. How terrible, but I am glad that Thumper seesm to be unfazed by it. She is a great cat... taking it all in stride!

Many prayers for you and Thumper.
