[Sue P (Paddysmum)]

Thank goodness the vets were big enough to acknowledge the mistaken diagnosis.  Very pleased at the outcome for Jack.

That's brilliant news! Hopefully the antibiotics can get the infection under control Little Jack most probably owes his life to his Auntie!

That's amazing and such wonderful news. Thank goodness you were around.

what wonderful news! I've found with my own health that medical people don't know everything and it certainly doesn't hurt to challenge them, it saved a life in this case

So glad I insisted on my sister having a biopsy done. I said it could be osteomyelitis (bone infection) being a medical secretary I know about these things, vet insisted that it was an aggressive tumour (3 vets had all looked at Jack when he was under anaesthetic) and even having biopsy wouldn’t change the outcome . Anyway vet rang yesterday, said they were all really surprised but it wasn’t a tumour after all, just a massive bone and gum infection. He now has to stay on antibiotics for another month. It’s a good learning curve for them. Imagine if my sister had agreed to put him to sleep when they rang her and said he was under and probably the kindest thing to do, as he would have no quality of life and be in pain and unable to eat . Hopefully in future if it happens to another cat, they will think twice. In the meantime we are so  happy that Jack is going to be okay .

Poor Jack! Am sending lots of healing vibes your way ~~~

[heather sullivan]

Thanks all . Will let you know as soon as we get biopsy results

[Tiggy's Mum]

What an awful shock that must have been    Fingers crossed that the biopsy results are more postive than first feared, please let us know how he gets on

[sheilarose]

Oh jeez this is so worrying. Am sending all my love and hopes for the best possible news for poor Jack.

My sister's handsome ginger & white cat who is only 7 went  to the vets this week for a problem with his bottom teeth. Had an op yesterday and a lot of his bottom teeth removed but when they cut open his gums, they said he has a very aggressive tumour that has eaten quite a lot of his jaw
away but will only be 100% certain with biopsies.  The vet suggested putting him to sleep while he was under anaesthetic.  My sister said no, she wanted to bring him home. They have sent some samples off for biopsy, so she is awaiting the results. he has his gums  stitched up, on Metacam and antibiotics but he seems fine, has not stopped eating, even rugby tackling  his sister and scoffing her food as well!   Years ago I had  a rabbit that got an infected toe and the infection  ate away all the bone in his toe and halfway up his leg. Am hoping that its just a massive infection that has done it, and not a tumour . back to the vets monday for his check up.
