    Surgery cancelled... Vet sure it's cancer

    Iris just hasn't been herself for the past few days. She's been lethargic (if you can call a cat that) limping, not able to jump well, and eating, but not as much as she usually does. I'm worried. She's a middle aged cat, far too young to be seriously ill!

    We're going to the vet at 4:30. Please pray that nothing is seriously wrong!
    Update: the vet found a mass in her leg He took a blood sample and is sending it off. She will have surgery on Thursday unless they find bad news on the lab reports.

    We went in this morning. Labs were good, but after thinking on it and re-inspecting the mass, the vet is sure it's cancer. She came home with two weeks worth of prednisone, and an appointment for two weeks from now to evaluate. I don't think she'll be with us much longer.

    We Arepraying Hard For Iris, That Theres Nothing Seriously Wrong. The Good Thing Is That Shes In The Hands Of Her Vet, And Its Hopeful That They May Be Able To Head Off A Crisis Before It Becomes Irrervsable.
    Sadly Cats Are Like People And Some Just Dont Have As Much Sand In Thier Sun Dial As Others.
    We Are Praying That This Is Not The Case With Iris, And That You Have Many Many More Years Together!!
