Dr. Lee took x-rays of both her chest and her sinuses. She has a mild sinus infection but there is a mass in front of her heart that he wants to recheck in a month. The other vets looked at the x-ray and feel that it's probably calcified and nothing to worry about but we'll see if it's grown or changed at all in a month. He said that he could have a radiologist look at it but all s/he would say is "It could be this, that or the other" and Dr. Lee could tell me that himself. So she'll be rechecked in 4 weeks.
He also told me that she has spondylosis of the spine and he showed me on the x-ray where it is. He said that it's probably painful for her and I said that she never cries or anything and he said "Well, you know how cats are".
He gave her an injection of Convenia and some Cyproheptadine tablets for the infection. He also advised that I put her on Science diet, all of my cats for that matter. I told him that they only get a few T. of Fancy Feast in the morning and the rest of the day they eat Purina Cat Chow. He said that feeding them Fancy Feast is like giving them chocolate cake every day because it's loaded w/sugar and salt. So I bought a couple cans of Science diet and will add a little FF and back off the FF every day until they are eating only the Science diet canned.
I'm going to keep a good thought, try not to let my fears get the better of me regarding that mass in front of Pidge's heart but if you will include her in your prayers until I learn more, I sure would appreciate it.
