Sad news. It's SCC

Another update. No change in the tumour. Rosco is still hunting and acting normally. He did develop Horner's syndrome not long after the last vet visit, but aside from the droopy effect from that, he's still full of life. His last catch and eat that I know of was a few days ago and he only left the stomach, so I know he's ok eating! He's put on more weight, too and looks quite healthy.

I did find out that metacam is a cox-2 inhibitor. Recently this enzyme has been shown to play a role in tumour growth, so metacam can be used to modulate tumour progression as well as for pain relief. This, I assume is why he's still a bouncy kitty! So, I don't know how long this will last. I may go home today and find him struggling, I may get to love him for another month. Who knows?

How's Helby, PoR?
 
Glad Rosco is still doing ok, I am dreading Monday when Jaffa goes in, not so much for the amputation, but in case the xray of his chest is not clear and I have to make the decision wether to let him go then!
Helby is doing ok, blind as a bat, but he is coping ok, bless him:)
