So pleased that Ginger is Ok

Thank you yes Tiggy's Mum I think he a tough boy. He was a stray when we started looking after him and took it months before he would trust us. He spent a winter outside in a kennel before eventually coming into my kitchen on a very snowy February day. He spent a lot of time there before being accepted by my raggie who had a hatred of intruders in his territory!!!

Glad everything went well

Ginger must be made of tough stuff!

This is very good news, well done Ginger.

Thanks everyone!!!!

well I can report that Ginger had to have the op and had all of his teeth out apart from his bottom two canines. Vet said there was a case for taking these out as well but he decided not to as he felt Ginger had been under anesthetic long enough, given the murmur. Also he said cats that don't have any teeth often stick their tongues out all the time so he left him some teeth to rest his tongue against

Ginger is fine and nomming as normal

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #119 on:** December 23, 2012, 16:56:23 PM »

So pleased he's proving the vets wrong

Go Ginger!

Hope the AB's can do the trick for his tooth abcess

Ginger thanks everyone for their vibes/Christmas wishes and says despite having a bad tooth he is looking forward to tackling the big chicken his mum has kindly bought the cats for their Christmas dinner

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #117 on:** December 23, 2012, 15:09:42 PM »

Hope the abs do the trick

Sue P little ginger ninja Paddy lived on a long time after the same diagnosis so Ginger could have years yet

Sending a Chrissy snuggle to him

Aww go Ginger, proved 'em all wrong!

Well done Ginger. Sending lots of positive vibes for the ABs to do the trick.

cazzer · « **Reply #114 on:** December 23, 2012, 12:44:57 PM »

its almost two years ago that Ginger was diagnosed with lymphoma and given weeks!!!!!! He is still doing well with the lymphoma and severe heart murmur. However he has a nasty tooth abscess and is on ABs for this. Worry is that the AB won't clear up the infection and that he will have to have the tooth out which is a risk given his murmur. He does seem a lot brighter though than he did on Friday so hoping surgery won't be needed!

Jiji · « **Reply #113 on:** January 17, 2012, 21:13:13 PM »

It's great to hear that Ginger is still here and doing well all things considered

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #112 on:** January 17, 2012, 21:05:38 PM »

On the whole that sounds good

cazzer · « **Reply #111 on:** January 17, 2012, 17:18:14 PM »

thank you everyone. He's been for a six month MOT. Vet said his heart sounds dreadful and that he really shouldn't be with us! His lump although big hasn't changed much in the last six months. He has lost quite a bit of weight though which isn't good, which shows the lymphoma is having an effect on him [although at moment he's not a thin cat] Vet was overjoyed though to see him looking so well and delighted to be proved wrong at his estimate of two weeks!!!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #110 on:** January 16, 2012, 12:23:25 PM »

Wonderful news , keep having fun Ginger

Sam (Fussy_Furball) · « **Reply #108 on:** January 15, 2012, 22:43:08 PM »

cazzer · « **Reply #107 on:** January 15, 2012, 16:55:17 PM »

thanks very much. I feel very lucky to still have him with us. We are already planning our trips away in the caravan for the spring/summer and Ginger will be coming with us if possible!

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #106 on:** January 15, 2012, 16:34:20 PM »

Nice to see some cheery news, glad Ginger proved them all wrong and hope you have many happy times ahead

sheilarose · « **Reply #105 on:** January 15, 2012, 11:18:05 AM »

Oh Cazzer, what a rollercoaster you're on just now. Good old Ginger for sticking it out

cazzer · « **Reply #104 on:** January 14, 2012, 23:46:29 PM »

Thanks have changed it!

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #103 on:** January 14, 2012, 23:26:46 PM »

Phew - when I saw this thread had resurfaced I was holding my breath.

Well done Ginger.

cazzer · « **Reply #102 on:** January 14, 2012, 20:06:52 PM »

well I don't want to tempt fate, but a year since he was taken ill the Ginger Ninja is still with us despite only being given two weeks in January last year. He still enjoys life [and his food]. He still finds it in himself to chase the red dot and give bunny kicks and bear hugs to the Norwegians.

he is a star

lau200 · « **Reply #101 on:** July 16, 2011, 21:13:24 PM »

I'm glad to hear he is still fighting x

Thanks everyone

Glad he's doing well Cazzer Where is his lump? My vet mentioned lymphoma when I took Lacie this evening.

I'm not sure which organs are affected now Gillian but he no longer has a wobbly bit underneath its all solid, so its pretty big.

Stuart · « **Reply #99 on:** July 15, 2011, 02:32:18 AM »

So Glad He is doing well

remember everyday He is here is special and I am sure you are treating him so

I lost My Misty to Lymphosarcoma

Was thinking about him the other day, pleased to hear he's doing well

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #96 on:** July 14, 2011, 20:28:20 PM »

So pleased to hear this - long may it continue.

My Rosie was given two months max when a mammary tumour regrew rapidly after surgical removal but she actually had 2 quality years befor =e we had to say goodbye which just proves that predicting life-expectancy is very inexact science.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #95 on:** July 14, 2011, 20:07:14 PM »

Wonderrfful news and think that Sues Paddy defied the vets estimate for a number of years, so loads of years Ginge

Jiji · « **Reply #94 on:** July 14, 2011, 19:40:59 PM »

Great to hear Ginger is still comfortable and enjoying life

cazzer · « **Reply #93 on:** July 14, 2011, 19:27:43 PM »

realised that I hadn't updated on the Ginger Ninja for a very long time. Amazingly he is still with us. {he was diagnosed with lymphoma in January}!. His lump is very big now but his quality of life is still good. He is still eating well and lump doesn't seem to affect him. Needless to say he is still on steroids and painkillers. He can still manage to surprise us his latest trick is walking along the top of the bannister

. He also has regular tussles with Karlo and Kyrre. Vet is amazed that he is still with us. We feel very lucky but take each day at a time.

cazzer · « **Reply #92 on:** April 22, 2011, 17:35:55 PM »

he seems much the same thanks Gill. He's still eating and seems quite happy in himself.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #91 on:** April 22, 2011, 17:23:37 PM »

I hope that Gingers still doing OK

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #90 on:** April 16, 2011, 18:39:20 PM »

Pleased to hear he's doing OK, the boys send him a gentle headkiss
