...either a brain tumor or cancer in her digestive system.
She's also been shaking her head like she either has a headache or is dizzy.
How did they discover Hazel's cancer if the blood work was normal, and how is she doing now?
Jade's been pretty much tested for everything, and everything came back fine and normal.
Weird, but Hazel shook her head also and we thought she had ear-mites. We found her in the street so thought it was very possible. They did treat her for them, but she continued to shake her head. We did a barium xray on her which showed an enlarged kidney. They did an exploratory surgery and removed and tested the enlarged kidney. Results came back positive for cancer, and the aggressive kind. They were unable to remove all the cancer so it's just a matter of time for Hazel. She vomits daily and was losing weight until we started giving her sub-fluids a few times a week. The vomiting will dehydrate them which will cause weight loss. Hazel is now maintaining her weight and has her good and bad days. Until we feel she is suffering and in pain, we will fight the battle. The one thing that came back elevated on her blood work was her pancreas, but not to the point they felt it was dangerous. Everything else came back fine. Weird huh? Good luck and if you have anymore questions please ask.
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
