I know it's not Caturday, but I haz updates.
I took Cos into the ER vet last last Saturday (about 10 days ago) b/c of this:
I noticed it on Friday, and it got much bigger by Saturday, so off to the ER we went. ER vet aspirated and said it wasn't an abscess, but also not cancerous. Gave 10 days of ABs, plus warm compresses 3 x per day.
Dr B saw we had been in and asked us to come in for follow up after finishing ABs. That was today. He aspirated again, and is sending that sample to cytology. He says Cos' belly feels better (less fluid). WE took x ray, and the thing is not attached to the bone. Now we wait for the culture and sensitivity to come back from the aspirate to see if he needs more ABs, and also for cytology report.
Dr P came in to check on Cos too.
Squeem3- Dr B asked about you... he asked if I still kept in touch with "Merlin's mom."
And when I was saying that Cosmo was a good case for why everyone should get pet insurance, he said "he is the poster child for pet insurance!" When Dr B aspirated, he asked me to help and said "Mom, you come over here and hold this paw, when I say go, you scratch his head really hard"
I love that he refers to us as Moms.
