Just rang the vets and her results arn't back .....
One of the VN's is going to ring the Lab this afternoon though.

I don't feel too well today, got an upset tummy  :(
Think it is nerves.

Issey is doing well, no swelling and is in the garden...with stitches still untouched  :Luv:

Did the vet give you any painkillers for her? If not, I would ask them for some today


Desley I have Metacam here and gave her some before I went to bed last night.
Is there something stronger I can ask for if she seems in pain today ?

She is sitting in the garden this morning....seems ok so far

I was thinking though how brave animals are, When my Nan had her lymph node removed from her armpit she was in hospital for 3 days, had 2 drains and needed looking after for a longtime.....animals are so amazing  :Luv2:

She's not so good this evening, She seems to be in abit of pain....Cant get comfortable and when she does (mainly on my lap) her tail is swishing !
It is also starting to swell abit which i was warned about (oedema).

But thankfully she has left the stitches alone

Good luck Michelle.  :hug:

Did they give any advice re making sure she doesn't get any cuts etc. I know my mum has to be extra careful after having her lymph removed.

No they didnt Mark....but I knew there was something when You had one removed.
Thanks I will ask my vet when I speak to him Thursday.

He did say to keep a close eye on it as it could swell uiet alot.....
I know in humans they put a drain in

I don't know if it is the same for for cats but she said you lose immunity in that area which makes sense. I don't know all the ins & outs though - even though we did something on lymph fluid in biology. I think it is moved around the body by natural movement of muscles.

Issey is home....

Vet removed the whole Lymph gland rather than doing just a biopsy.
She is doing really well considering she has had quiet a big Op ....

Results should be Thursday

Thank You everyone  :hug:
I am praying like crazy...I REALLY cant lose her  :'(

Have spoken to a couple of hospitals this morning, cant believe the fee's they charge  :censored:
Sadly Issey isnt insured and the thought that I wouldnt be able to save her because of money is making me feel sick.

Anyway.....I'm getting ahead of myself really....i need to relax and wait till i know for sure what it is

Thanks again xxxxx

Have only just seen this thread, fingers crossed the biopsy shows it isn't anything serious - it does highlight the importance of not ignoring lumps assuming they are just fatty lumps though
