I took Scooter to the vet today to see why he was still crying when he went to the litter box and they x-rayed him and found he has a growth about the size of say a tennis ball in his belly it's near his spleen.The vet said it could be Lymphoma a type of cancer but there is a tiny tiny chance it could be a benign growth of some kind.We won't know for sure what it is till they open him up.
Naturally I'm so upset I can't even put into words how worried I am.
They could have opened him up today but my vet was having a bad day too so I didn't want to make him have to do surgery.
When I brought Scooter in he started checking him out by feeling him and told me he had a mass in his belly and that it could be Lymphoma,I started crying in the exam room *I had to take him to the vet by myself because my mother took my Aunt to the doc* and I told him I was sorry I was being a big baby about it,he told me it was ok that his son fell off a bike today and they had to put him in a cast from about under his breast to his foot,so he was having to run in the back every so often and cry too.Because of that I didn't want to have to make him to deal with the stress of opening my cat up,especially since I think he realizes how attached I am to Scooter so I think it makes him extra nervous.
I just bought this book
http://www.sparkyfightsback.com/ and when and bought some Noni Juice stuff in case it is Lymphoma.I was looking around online to see if there are any local vet's that can do things like Oncology on cats,I think there is one in Baton Rouge which is like 2 hours from me.If it is a bad growth *which I hope to hell it's NOT* I don't care if I have to max out a credit card I'm going to try my damndest to help him.
Thankfully he's doesn't seem to be in pain at all,and is eating and getting around and things like that.
So please everybody keep him in your thoughts,prayers and rituals that he will be just fine,I'm appreciate it more then you know.I just want my cat to be OK,he's like my baby.
Thank You
