i'm sorry to hear she isn't well, she may still have a good while yet though x

I hope she still has lots of quality time left with you and the gang xx

Life is so unfair and I hope that BB has a long time with you still

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #69 on:** May 11, 2011, 12:22:30 PM »

Took her to see Jane, the vet, this morning and she agrees, it has grown quite a lot and is actually affecting both sides of her jaw as well as her chin, but she felt, that as long as she was still having quality of life (which I do think she is - she's eating ok and has actually put on weight, and is bright in herself) that we just carry on as normal (ish!) until such time it really impacts her quality of life. There's no infection inside the mouth at all and Jane didnt think it was actually causing her any pain.

that doesn't sound like good news. Fingers crossed it doesn't grow too quickly

Could it be an abcess in the jaw that is recurring after the AB has worn off?

Thanks

No, not an abcess, the x-rays showed a tumorous mass in the jawbone.

Quote from: maryas on May 09, 2011, 01:21:18 AM

Aaw bless her little heart - did the vet say it might grow and waht it would mean if it did?

Yes, she did say it might grow, but at what rate she couldnt say.

Jiskefet · « **Reply #64 on:** May 09, 2011, 11:45:40 AM »

11 is not that old, but still, one would think tumours wouldn't grow that quickly in a senior.....

Could it be an abcess in the jaw that is recurring after the AB has worn off?
I had a rabbit with a similar problem, they could stop the process with medication, and it would even get better, temporarily, but it would always come back.

for BB, and for you

Sorry to hear this Gillian

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #58 on:** May 08, 2011, 18:36:36 PM »

She's about 11, I adopted her a couple of years ago.

Jiskefet · « **Reply #57 on:** May 08, 2011, 18:34:43 PM »

As long as it doesn't cause any discomfort, BB will be alright.
A tumour is a time bomb, unfortunately, but hopefully, she will have some quality time left in her....
How old is BB?

I am so sorry and sending lots of good wishes for her

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #54 on:** May 08, 2011, 18:01:24 PM »

I think BB's tumour is bigger than it was when she had the tooth out - that was only in February, doesnt bode well, if its grown since then

Back in Feb, her chin looked a bit lopsided because of the tumour being towards one side, but now it looks like its her whole chin. She doesnt seem unwell and she's eating fine though.

west0405 · « **Reply #53 on:** March 09, 2011, 21:57:55 PM »

Oh good so glad to hear they're feeling better

How are BB and Zeta doing now Gillian?

Thanks for asking

- BB seems to be doing well. She's been back again to vets for another check up, and given yet another course of antibiotics just to make sure any infection is well zapped! The tumour in her jaw (sort of on her chin really) makes her mouth look quite lopsided, but she's eating well.

Zeta has good days and bad days, I've noticed she sometimes doesnt want to eat in the mornings, but by the evening she will tuck in. Then she will go for weeks when she eats properly again, morning and evening.

Yes reckon lacto b needed.....I would have sent you some but its just passed its sell by date,,,,,,must get some more!

Oh I do hope that the vet isnt gonna say what you think about Zeta, I didnt know she was same age as my birmans

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #47 on:** February 22, 2011, 16:49:19 PM »

Thanks

think I'm going to need some Lacto b with all these antibiotics in her system

Quote from: maryas on February 21, 2011, 23:25:39 PM

but what's up with Zeta?

Zeta is so frail (she's 17) underneath that big persian coat, she had lumps removed last year when she had a balance problem, and now there are more lumps, I think I know what my vet is going to say

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #46 on:** February 21, 2011, 23:49:30 PM »

Sending loads more good wishes

maryas · « **Reply #45 on:** February 21, 2011, 23:25:39 PM »

Now this is the sort of news we need much more of on Purrs. So delighted for you both

Gentle kiss on top of head on it's way to you Princess BB

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #41 on:** February 21, 2011, 19:12:52 PM »

Been back to vets, her mouth is looking much better already. Vet gave me more antibiotics (for the runny nose) to take alongside the antirobe she's already having!

So now she's got penicillin (rilexine) as well. Back again in a week. She's eaten ok today though.

Janeyk · « **Reply #40 on:** February 21, 2011, 14:25:42 PM »

Poor BB, hugs for you both

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #39 on:** February 21, 2011, 14:19:09 PM »

She may have picked up a touch of cat flu at the vets!

Bisolven is the thing to help the nose, sachets from the vet and one sachet should be more than enough to clear her nose.

I hope BB and Zeta will get well soon

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #38 on:** February 21, 2011, 14:10:07 PM »

Thanks

She's eating a little better now - Applaws seemed to do the trick! She's still got a very runny nose though - don't know where thats come from, because she didnt have it before the op.

She is back to vets tonight for check over, I have Zeta not too well either now
