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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
