Sophie did fine during the surgery. They removed two masses, the larger one being 2 centimeters by 4 centimeters (about .75 by 1.5 inches). That’s quite a lump for a cat weighing in at 8.5 pounds. They let me see it; it was fatty and looked a bit like a chicken gizzard. Now I just need to keep her from chewing the stitches, which come out in ten days. I brought her home and she is in her usual after-vet-visit, pissy mood. Hissing and glaring. I don’t blame her, poor girl. She’s had three tummy surgeries in five years.
On Thursday or Friday we’ll have the lab results that will answer the question of malignancy. From research I’ve done, 90-96% of mammary tumors in cats are malignant. I’m not thinking about it. There’s no point. We’ll know what we know when we know it, and then we’ll deal with that.
I’m just happy that her heart held up during the surgery!
. . . so glad she came through okay . . . 🙂
So am I, poor little bug.
