Gatsby has a new problem: update #15.

[Prairie Purrs]

Gatsby has a small growth on his face that the vet is removing today and sending out for testing. The vet thinks it's most likely cancerous. He's going to remove a margin around the growth, so he's assuming that's the case. The growth is so small that removal makes more sense than a biopsy. It'll be at least a week before the test results come back.

I'm just numb at this point. Gats has been doing so well since his surgery. It's completely unfair for him to have another health crisis.

Please keep my sweet tuxie boy in your thoughts.

Honestly, what is going on up there in the planets anyhow? Our furkids seem to be getting the brunt of it. Of course, Gatsby is in my prayers now and always. Keep the faythe.

I hope that surgery got all the nasty bits. Prayers for Gatsby!

ETA: Might it be worth putting him on Transfer Factor caps (in a Pill Pocket) for a while just to give his system some ammunition?

Thanks to all for the well-wishes. Gatsby is home and wearing a cone for now because the first thing he did when he came out of the carrier was to start rubbing at the stitches.

Here's my unhappy boy. The growth was on the bridge of his nose, right side. He only has a couple of stitches.



My poor guy has had such an awful time since midsummer. I'll be spending the next week stressing about the test results.

I am praying for dear Gatsby. He has had enough tough times to last him a lifetime! I hope it is nothing serious.
