Tango came home last night, hes feeling a little better and from what the vet said he wasn't happy there at all. The ultrasound showed he has abnormalities with his liver, could be a bad infection or tumors. Hes had yet another blood test and the results won't be back until Monday/ Tuesday, hopefully that will tell us more. Then depending on the results and how Tangos feeling he might have to have an operation to get a biopsy and have a look at the liver. So for now its back to the bland diet and a 3 different medications to take everyday. He seems happy to be home, rubbing on everything, purring and we were even playing with some string last night and he was purring SO loudly, its good to see even through he is still obviously sick. So really were still not sure what exactly it is but were narrowing it down fairly quickly. |

I'm happy to hear Tango's back home. Some cats really don't take to the vets do they? My normally docile cat turned into a devil-cat when overnighted at the vets. Let's hope the results come back showing nothing more serious than an infection that can be treated with antibiotics. |

Got the latest test results back, the test was to see how well the liver actually works, and it showed that there is a problem but its not too bad. The vet asked how he is and how well hes eating and was happy to hear that over the last 2 days hes been very happy, purring, playing and getting back to usual, also hes been very hungry, even shoving the other cats out of the way to eat their food (something he never usually does). So hes going to stay on the medication until Monday then go back for a check up, then we can deciede what to do next, thankfully the vet thinks opening him up and getting a biopsy won't be needed, at most he will have a biopsy taken with a long thin needle which won't be nice for Tango but better than a full on operation, especially as hes a bit old, not up to full heath and has a heart murmor. But hes reacting to the mediactions well (I think they are all some kind of antibiotics) and that seems to suggest infection rather than cancerous tumors, fingers crossed! Also my mum and granmar have offered to help with the vet bills so that takes some of my stress down too Next stressful thing to go, central heating being fitted as of tommorow and that means plumbers/ builder types in the house for a week, banging and making a mess and I have to try and keep Tango and stress free as possible, the house is already in chaos but it will be worth it to be warm this year and better for the cats too im sure. |
