Konrad von Carstein Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 My wing man, the most affectionate and funny cat you could imagine has been at the vet today. A wee lump has developed in his "armpit" and we are arranging for it to be removed and examined as his breed is susceptible to various cancers. Hopefully nothing but I was swallowing a grapefruit whole while talking to the vet today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helzibob Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I’ll keep my fingers crossed, hopefully it’ll be benign. Non pet owners have no idea of the bond you have. My dog is as important to me as any other family members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Is Back Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hope he’s OK KVC.

I had to leave one behind at my ex’s as got it for her and he was a special lad. Used to wait for me in bushes near to where i stayed and came bounding out when I came home from work meowing his wee face off until I picked him up and made a fuss of him.

It doesn't seem to bother him and he does not seem to be in any pain. I don't know what your cats age is but if ours was younger we'd have the vet look at it. I hope it goes well at the vets for you.

Piper adores her and can't settle until Bo comes in for the night. Or is that me. I wish I got a cats years ago. I usually sit in the garden(5 in the morning) having a cuppa, watching her before I go to work. I had to get the ladder out to get the dafty out a tree the other morning. Up nae bother, but she didn't know how to get doon. Again, Good Luck bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) We bought many years ago a Scottie for our son, later we brought home a white kitten for our daughter. Our Scottie ,Sandy would fight any dog big or small at the drop of a hat, Fluffy the white cat was the only animal he feared. She would sit at the top of the stairs and if he Sandy tried to come up she would arch and hiss, it was quite comical, if both were on the same floor they just ignored each other. Fluffy died and Sandy would often sniff around where she would have been, he almost missed her. I then got my dog Rambo a German Shepherd, as a pup he was almost as big as the now old Sandy. They were out in the backyard one evening, Rambo wanting to play, later Sandy came into the basement family room from the yard, lay down at the fire place, gave a great sigh and died right there. Much sadness in the house. Rambo became my best friend for thirteen years, like Sandy he just laid down and left me one day, I have had no animals since, they are like family with personalities of their own, a valuable faithful friend. I am often advis ed by neighbors and friends now that I should get a cat for company now being on my own. No need for walks but I have concerns, what would happen to the poor cat if I go, and how will I feel if I lose the cat, not worth it for either of us the cost to the survivor too high emotionally.

fbjambo Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Hope everything goes well at the vet We looked after a 5 month old kitten last January and she ended up staying with us - certainly livened up lockdown for us. She's been to the vet lots over the last couple of months and is on a special diet now and being monitored for breathing issues so they are a worry. (Luckily i took out insurance or I would have had a nice £1700 bill 😬) now I get what all the fuss is about with a pet. I think the most used phrase in our house is 'where's the cat ?' 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Kaiser Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Before my Divorce the ex pestered me to get a cat. Money was tight and I said not a chance. She sold my young sons on it and eventually I wad guilt tripped into getting a kitten. I said I will have nothing do with feeding or litter trays, not my cat, you and boys can do all that. Foot down. Few weeks in and his favourite sleeping spot at night was right on my shoulder when I sat on the couch. It was like he knew my original thoughts and just went OTT on the cuteness to win me over. That said when we separated I was happy for her to take the cat. His uniqueness and cuteness had worn off. If I want a cat now I'll just leave the door open. Penicuik Facebook is constantly filled with "Whos cat is this?" posts. Are folk really surprised that cats wander into their gardens??????

Pans Jambo Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 My black Lab is 13 now. Never been overweight and always a fit, healthy & happy dog. This last year he’s been hit with athritis in his hips and hes lost muscle mass there. Got him on a special diet and Yumove tablets but fek me, he looks miserable most days. Different dog completely. Must be in a lot of pain. He often trips himself up and struggles to get up/down stairs. We used to climb munro’s together and done a good few long distance walks like the West Highland Way. He can hardly get round the park these days. I worry about my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is fine, just fatty tissue much relief all round, for the humans, he dgaf Now, the back story to his treatment. We were initially quoted £450 to excise the lump, this jumped to nearly £1k when we were booking him in. We paused and did some research and were left wondering why a fine needle aspiration(I had one done on my neck prior to an op to remove one of my saliva glands due to a growth) wasn't being offered, non invasive no need for a general anaesthetic etc On "challenging" the practice they agreed, FNA was £275. On the day of his appt when the vet came out to collect him she offered to attempt the FNA without sedation, he is such an easy going big lump we said go ahead, and she successfully managed to get the sample, final bill was £140. Please note while the 1k was a shock to the system it wasnt all about saving money. A wee bit research and informing ourselves enabled us to challenge and get the treatment tailored to what turned out to be a benign issue.
