Feline Skin Cancer?

Poor baby! At least youknow now what it is and can start treatment. I really hope she will get over it soon.

Ooohhh, poor little Kylie.

Looks kind of nasty, but at least it is treatable. Hope she does well on her meds and is better in not time. Please keep us updated on how she's doing.

So glad you took your kitty to the Vet. We were just guessing about the acne possibility, but yikes, it was much, much more serious than acne.

Keep us posted on the progress of the cure.

Hugs and scrunches/skritches to Kiley.

Thank heavens you were on top of this! I'd never heard of this condition. Thanks for the info. Best of luck to your poor baby that she responds quickly to the medications.

Did the vet say that you caught it in time?

Yes he said that with treatment it should clear up. She is doing fine, doesn't like the pills tho!!! Gets mad at me everytime twice a day!

Thank heavens it was caught early! Good luck with the pills.

And me of course!

Hey Kiley, your Mom is only trying to help you get better when she gives you those nasty pills. Most of the felines I know, act as though they are being murdered when it comes to pills. My two are OK but after a few days, they catch on to the routine and it gets more and more difficult as time goes on. Most doggies are easily fooled, but not kitties!

Get well soon Kiley. Chin UP !

Best wishes to Kylie, get well sooooooooooooonnnnnnnn!
About pills.....awhile back Bo had a respiratory tract infection, so we had to give her an antibiotic pill once a day. Our normally mild mannered well behaved show Manx turned into a little spitting witch when it came to getting pilled! My husband had the bright idea of crushing the pill (putting it between two sheets of waxed paper and mashing it with the back of a spoon) and mixing it in with some meat baby food (Bo's favorite treat!). Voila! she gobbled it down and actually asked for more. You may want to try this trick as well to see if you can get your cat to take medicine without a struggle.
