Miss Kitty needs some healing thoughts...

[cats4ever]

The past few months, Miss Kitty had this on-and-off cough, very subtle. It would go away for a few weeks and then come back. Her lungs sounded always clear, so she got the occasional antibiotic.
Two day ago, it came back, and Miss Kitty looked a little weak and a little off. The vet looked at her, lungs still sounded clear, but she ordered x-rays.
As soon as I saw the images, I noticed a spot in one of her lungfields that was not supposed to be there! The vet compared them to x-rays taken in February, and it wasn't there then!
There are only two possibilities: the better one is some infection, the other one is a mass.
Miss Kitty got an antibiotic injection in the hope that it is infectious.
We will repeat the x-rays in one month, and, hopefully, the spot will be gone.
I did not want to end the year with news like that, but I want to stay positive.

Oh, Heidi, you and Miss Kitty have all our loving good wishes and prayers and warm healing energies. May the next x-rays bring welcome news.

Heidi, I so hope the next x-ray will show no spot in Miss Kitty's chest.

Sending healing thoughts to your sweet girl.

Thank you all!
Miss Kitty is still eating well, but she seems much quieter.
I'm glad that her BFF Olive is always close by to keep her company!

Update on Miss Kitty:
We repeated her chest x-rays. Unfortunately, the spot in her lungfields is still present. It has increased in size by 2mm and also is more dense.
She's doing fine, no coughing or other clinical signs. The vet said that, even if it is a tumor, it appears to be very slow growing.
We will repeat the x-rays in another 4 weeks.
