Thinking of you.

A quick update.

He got throught surgery fine. I will be picking him up in about 2 hours.

It was a lymph node as suspected, and it is being sent for a biopsy. Could still be cancer, but at least it is out.

The vet also took a piece of the small intestine to biopsy (IF the other test doesn't tell us anything) This would test for cancer in the digestive track or IBD.

So, we are going to stop the steroid use and if he begins to feel badly there are other types of medicines to try (don't have those details yet).

But my boy will be home and in my arms very soon!

I Think That Mr Meow Will Heal Up A Lot A Lot Better In His Own Furr Ever Home Where He Is So Loved.
I Know That A Few Of Our Pet Angels Will Come By And Visit Mr Meow To Bring Him Sea Food From Columbia South America To Whet His Appetite!!!

He's home! 10 to 14 days until biopsy results. Pretty large incision, but looks good. Time to deliver all those hugs, kisses and scritchies to Mr. Meow!

Happy to hear that he's home again!

[Emeraldgreen]

So glad that Mr. Meow made it safely through the surgery and is now resting at home with his family. I hope the tests come back with good results and that he will have many, many more years to spend with you.

[Catty1]

WOOHOO! Give that beautiful boy gentle hugs from me - I hope he has good 'happy' pain meds.

Praying for best results possible on the tests.

If nothing else, that lump won't be pressing on his intestine any more.

Is he on soft food for the next while?

PT PRAYERS for Mr Meow! Welcome home, baby!

[Medusa]

Time to deliver all those hugs, kisses and scritchies to Mr. Meow!

That's what will help him heal more than anything. Glad that he's home and that all went well.

[jennielynn1970]

Oh I'm so glad he came through it well!!! Let's hope the tests come back with benign for the lymph node, and plain old IBD for the bowel.

Smoochies Mr. Meow!!!

Jen, I'm glad to hear that Mr. Meow's surgery went well and I hope that the biopsy results will be good ones. Hopefully he'll now remain a happy and healthy cat for many more years to come. Please give him some hugs and kisses for me.

One thing about IBD testing. When Starr had his done he had only been on a very small amount of pred for a short period of time and I had to stop giving it to him for a week before his surgical biopsy. My vet said that if he had been taking a higher doseage of pred then we'd have to wait for a while before doing the biopsy because the pred would interfere with the biopsy results. Hopefully the depo shots won't do the same thing. Good luck.
