Re: Chatty update
Jen, Prayers going out that all they find is infection. Please keep us posted on Chatty! :) Wendy --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Guys! Well, the jury is still out after his initial visit with the vet! They snapped several x-rays, but couldn't see any distinct tumor. Whatever it is is only affecting one side and when the vet went to swab inside his nasal cavity, blood just poured out of that one side. She took a look with her own microscope and noted some abnormal cells...but she has to send the culture off to get a definitive (hopefully) answer! So we probably won't know until next week what we're dealing with. He's going back in tomorrow and Saturday for fluids and iv baytril...so hopefully that will give him some relief while we wait. Has anyone ever seen this with their own cats? Poor guy...he wasn't happy to be there...it was a little ironic that all of the cats around him were chatting up a storm and the one guy who is actually named Chatty was tight-lipped!

Re: Chatty update
I know that someone on the lymphoma group had a cat with nasal lymphoma who got it treated (chemo or radiation or both, not sure), and he did really well for a few years after that. Michelle
Re: Chatty update
Thanks, Michelle! That's good to know...I thought I heard the vet tech read off something about finding squamous cells in the culture they took from his nose...but I guess I have to wait until Monday to get the final results as the culture has to be sent off to a lab. Chatty just finished his second day of fluids/iv baytril and he's doing much better...he's definitely not as stuffed up as he was a few days ago and he ate a whole can of Fancy Feast without any encouragement!! I'm still keeping my fingers crossed! :) Jen But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world.
