    You could always ring and ask although you may decide you don't need to know. Did they tell you things to look out for and to take her back if they start to happen? xx
  • I hope you're okay Beanie. Perhaps Miss J will last a while? It depends upon how fast growing the tumour is. A good idea to ring the vet and ask.

    I have thought about ringing the vet.
    Will ponder further.

    She already has significant problems with her back legs & finds even getting up onto a chair or the bed already.
    Will just have to see how things go I guess.
    I am now aware that I did not know the full history before I got her but that is as it is & that cannot be changed.

    I am so flipping speechless.
    Watching Hospital from last night.
    A 15 year old young man with severe cerebral palsy has to fund his own surgery to the tune of £16k.
    There are no polite words to say how I feel about this.
    Well there are but none are polite

    We are just watching Hospital from last night :(

    I am so very sorry to hear the news about your cat. Just dire. At least the vets aren't trying to get money out of you for unnecessary treatment and you've given her a chance of a good life. Hopefully she'll be ok for some time to come, fingers crossed xx

    Oh Beanie :(:(

    Big hugs from me xx
