STill no reply, the waiting is really getting to me now. She was back in the surgery by 2 last week, so I hope it is the same this week. If not, I might have to wait till 3ish. |

Well, my patience finally ran out, I rang them as soon as I got home to see if they were back and whether i would get a phone call after surgery finishes to be told that the vet will ring me in the morning - which at my surgery means anytime after 11 depending on how many ops there are, I don't mind that they do the ops first, but it means more waiting. The waiting and emotions are really getting to me now, I don't know how I am going to get through another night. |

Well, just rang the vet, and she has had to go on a housecall, then to the other surgery, so isn’t expected back till 3.30, which is time for afternoon surgery. And she does evening surgery on a Tues, so doesn’t finish till 7. I hope she gets chance to ring after that, as she doesn’t work on a Wed morning. Am all worked up again now, really can’t bear all this waiting around. The vet nurse said she would remind her again, but she had reminded her this morning. |

Just heard. Yet again, there is nothing to indicate anything. Nothing to explain the dehydration, only her urea is slightly high, but not enough to indicate kidney probs, and could be a number of other things, but too early for anything specific. The only thing she can say is that maybe she is starting with something but it is too early to tell. It could all be linked to her nose but tumours wont show on the blood tests, there is another vet (the only one I haven’t seen) that may be able to do more than my vet, so I am going to see her at 6pm tomorrow - fingers crossed she has seen this more than my vet, as that means that we might not have to see the specialist. So, I feel marginally better. This is the second time that she has been bloodtested for more than she went in for due to looking worse (and was FIV/FeLV tested before I got her due to the vet thinking there was something underlying), so I still can’t help wondering if it is connected with her nose. The vet did say that with tumours they can look really bad but can have 'clear' blood tests |

Well, am fairly happy tonight. We saw a lovely vet, who has worked in Australia, so has seen lots of cases of SCC - apparently in Australia one in every 3 cats has had the tip of their nose removed due to it. She feels certain that Pebbles scabs are pre cancerous, I could have a biopsy done but it wouldn't show anything, so not worth it. I have to get her used to wearing suncream (which I have ordered, just not picked up) and watch her at the hottest part of the day. If they start getting bigger or bleeding then she has to go back, and the vet may operate - she has had a lot of experience and has assured me that it wont be that bad for her. She also feels that if it does turn, and she has to have it operated on, it is highly likely not to come back, as it takes years to get to this level of damage, so it might not get chance to return. Her noisy breathing is nothing to do with it fortunately. |

And a parrasol to sit under  Pleased you have found a vet that knows a bit more about it. |

Good news BT!! You must be feeling somewhat relieved. Hope you can manage this with the suncream and prevention measures x |

Can't describe how relieved I am. It has been a hellish two weeks, I knew she didn't have symptoms of kidney probs, but it didnt stop me imagining things!! So, now all I have to do is to get her used to wearing suncream - and pick it up of course!! Fingers crossed it wont get any worse and she wont have to have an op - but if she does, it can be done by this vet, she wont have to see the specialist. |
