Title: Cat mojo request
Post by: Denis on August 22, 2011, 06:54:36 PM

A couple of weeks ago I discovered a lump on my calico's right leg. I took Magnolia to the vet who did a biopsy. The results came back Friday and it turns out it's a fibrous sarcoma. Bad, bad, bad. Tomorrow she gets a chest x-ray and if it's negative it means it hasn't spread. That means she'll lose her leg.
If the x-ray shows positive, well, you get the idea.
If you have a minute to spare kind words for a crazy calico, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!

You got it. VSH of the Carolinas in Cary screwed me on my cat's general care, but there is nowhere better for dealing with kitty cancer.

Cats always fall on at least three of their legs. Hang on in there, ole whiskers. :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone!
The three x-rays showed no indication that the cancer has spread to Magnolia's lungs so that's great news. She's on the table at the vet's now undergoing surgery to remove the leg. Fortunately it's one of her back legs rather than a front. Cats (dogs too, I think) do fairly well with only one rear leg but lacking a front leg is much harder.
Will post another update this evening after I go visit her.

Thanks, Buff!

Magnolia was completely zonked out when I visited her late this afternoon. I really miss having her around the house and hope she can come home Friday.

Well, Magnolia came home and yesterday I got a call from my buddy in the histopathology lab at the Vet School. All tissue samples were clean! Magnolia beat the sarcoma so hey, cancer! You can go suck it!!!!

Thanks for the good vibes everyone! Good thing cats have nine lives, for Magnolia's used up at least 2 of them now.
