Hi everyone.
Miglet is much sicker. We had the vet here to visit her on Tuesday. Either an infection or a tumor but the vet leaned towards tumor. She got Miglet started on antibiotics to see if they would help.
I just talked to the vet. She looked at the stains of the stuff she took from Miglets cheek. The cells are dividing. It is still possible it is an infection but points strongly to tumor. We won''t know for sure. There is no point to sending it to the lab for further testing. If it is a tumor, there is no treatment for a 19 year old cat. If it is an infection, there is no other treatment than what we are doing. If she were young enough for surgery then maybe.
I''m home with her today giving her food & water and the antibiotics. There is a small chance this will work. Since she isn''t in too much pain we''re going to try it for a bit and see how she does. She seems a bit stronger today than she did last night.
The next few days will decide what we do. If she gets weaker or can''t eat & drink then.....
We won''t keep her in pain. We just want to give her every chance to get better.
