Hello, I just saw this thread. I'm sorry Samantha had to have surgery but at least now you know it is not malignant which is great. It sure sounds as if she is a very good patient (better than my Luke would be) to put up with the cone without complaining. My best to all of you. Kay in NC USA, Thur Jan 13
I'm so please to hear the good news.Quote:

I'm sure you can guess why it concerns me.
Absolutely I can! The vet thinks it is probably nothing to be concerned about, but I know that Alec is extremely concerned - Samantha is his baby.Quote:

Tell your daddy that many people have had benign tumours removed and are not the worse for wear ;)
But you may use the mood he's in to get you more treats.

Wonderful news!
Great news! Sending best wishes that the other lump is simple! :):love:
This is wonderful news.:) I too hope that her other lump is just a reaction to an injection. She sure is being such a good girl about everything.:)
Samantha has had her stitches out and is very happy to be rid of the cone. She is slightly less pleased to still be taking antibiotics, but tomorrow is the last one.
When she was at the vet to have her stitches removed, she had dropped a bit of weight. Probably not surprising as she was quite lethargic for a week after the operation and didn't eat very much at all. They would like to weigh her again in a couple of weeks. In the meantime we will keep an eye on the lump between her shoulder blades, and if it is still there the vet can aspirate it when we go back for the weight check.
Samantha thanks you all for your good wishes. x
I just got the one photo of her with her cone on -

Chances are that Samantha lost weight b/c of wearing the cone. My Yodie would hardly eat while wearing hers b/c she had a hard time maneuvering and b/c she was depressed. As soon as that cone came off, she started eating regularly again and now her weight is back to normal. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Good for her that the nasty mean ol' cone is off, though. ;)
Oh Samantha, isn't it good to get that cone off, and you're last pill is tomorrow - after one more nights sleep. :) Then you can eat normally again - you definitely deserve some extra treats for going through this! ;)
Fister and I send purrs and kisses. :love:
Oh Samantha, you look so small and poorly with that dreadful cone- it will be wonderful once it comes off. I hope there is still a little German liver sausage for cats available to feed you. And I hope the lump will be gone as well. I remember Orion had a little lump after his rabies shot- I began to be worried but it went away all of its own.
Oh, poor baby, looking so unhappy with the lampshade.. aren't you glad to be done with that?! And after tomorrow, no more nasty things stuck down your throat! We bet your appetite picks up soon.
