Tiger relapse

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm so sorry to hear that Tiger has relapsed and is having so much trouble breathing. My Sky has been having some congestion issues but his come and go and are most likely only allergies.

I also hope that Paddy's dark brown/black spot turns out to nothing. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent their way. Please take care.(((HUGS)))

My vet has agreed to do Tiger's tumor removal the day after tomorrow but he won't be able to get ahold of the cryosurgery equipment by that time. He wants me to send Tiger back to him again on the 14th of January to have the cryosurgery done but doing it separately could be quite costly. But if we don't take this opening on Sunday, he'd have to wait until the 14th for both procedures and he would be in such a terrible state by then, we just can't wait.
I'm driving him to a nearby town a few hours away first thing Sunday morning and putting him on a float plane by himself. I feel so badly about not going with him but I have to work all day. It's only a 20 minute flight though and it's quite a bit cheaper to fly just Tiger instead of the two of us, (about 30.00 each way) and a staff member from the clinic will pick him up at the other end and they will do the surgery at 9:30a.m.
We're praying it will be a straightforward surgery as it was the last time and that it hasn't spread to other areas. They might send him back that same afternoon and my husband will drive down to get him or he might spend the night and come back on the morning flight on Monday and I can go get him.
I'm just so relieved that he will stop suffering and get some help. It's hard to think about anything else when your pet is so uncomfortable. Everything else seems unimportant and trivial.
Thanks again for all the prayers.

{{{{{hugs}}}}}} Prayers for poor Tiger. I hope the surgery goes well, and the cryogenics will give him a longer and better life.

Maybe - just maybe - with most of the tumour removed with regular surgery, the cryogenic will be able to get 'more' of the stuff.

Thinking of all of you and Tiger boy.

Awe... poor Tiger. I hope the surgery goes well. I'll be thinking about him and saying prayers for him. Such a big, fluffy boy! Those paws are just HUGE!!! Please give him some hugs and kisses for me!

Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. PT prayers will keep him safe and sound until he's able to be back in your loving arms again. And we'll keep praying that the cryosurgery will fix him up for good. Hang in there, especially you Tiger.

I SO know what you mean, having just been worried sick for Sugar and her scare with what turned out to be an infected canine / fang. Everything else seems unimportant and trivial.

PT prayers work, glad to provide what I can to help. What a handsome Maine coon fellow Tiger is! Please Tiger, let's see if we can get you healthy and stop this tumor from returning.

I sure hope that Tigers surgery will go well and that this will allow him to be a happy and healthy boy for quite a long time. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
