We took Squashies to the Vet on Thursday night. She had clear fluid trickling from her black ear. This wasn't a total panic, she's had this before. Apparently, before she came to be our little girl, she had a really bad ear-mite episode which left her canals pretty scarred. But when the Vet looked in, she saw a 'growth', which she later called a mass, which she said would require surgery to remove.
The doctor said she couldn't tell exactly what it was, because of the swelling in Squashies' canal. So I'm going to give her drops q2 for 1 week. This to bring the swelling down so the mass can be inspected properly.
Squashies is such a good little girl, and she's had a very hard life. It just seems totally unfair that now that she's found a little happiness that this would happen. She could sure use some good vibs.
Oh, sweet Squashies. We do hope this is a benign thing, reasonably easy to solve. Lots of purrs coming your way.

Oh, Squashies, we are purring and keeping our paws crossed this is not serious and goes away asap. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteFour older mancats send healing purrs to Squashie. Our old boy Gris Gris looks like TK and was rescued at age 12.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that Squashies "growth/mass" is nothing serious. My Grady, who went to the Bridge in 2007 and looked an awful lot like you, TK, had a "growth" in his neck and the vet said it was bad. Turned out after they removed it, it was only some fatty tissue that was nothing... benign, and Grady lived many years after that. So, I'm hoping the same for Squashies.
ReplyDeleteoh Squashies, we is sending many many purrrsss your way baby girl. We loves you!!!
ReplyDeleteAll three of us have our purrs on maximum for Squashies to get better and feel like her old self! Hugs to Suashies people, too.
