Iain Emms Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Well then chaps some of you will remember our cat Mr Rollo well last week I found a small lump on his belly which had not been there the day before so off to the vets we went the vet checked him over and the next morning he was in and had the lump about the size of a pee removed. This was sent off for examination and we brought Mr home he is doing fine then yesterday we took him back to the vets for a check up they had the results off the lump and the lump was cancerous but they have done loads of checks on him and are sure they cut it all out and he is cancer free. Now on Monday he is booked in the vets for ultra sound and other scans on his colon liver spleen and kidney just to make sure nothing escaped and spread but the vets are sure nothing has so as you can imagine it's been a bad week or so of worry in our house for our Mr Rollo. cheers Iain 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumbypickett Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Well Iain I wish Mr Rollo all the very best of luck. It's never nice having the worry of a pet being ill. Vets are like people doctors and will do what ever they can for the best result. Lets hope this story turns out with the brightest of news. All the best to you and family and of coarse Mr Rollo.👍 cheers Gumby 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Harmes Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 That's quite a scare Iain! Hopefully you are all going ok now. It's great that you were able to find the lump and get him to a vet quick, and that most likely saved his life. Hoping for a swift recovery for Mr Rollo! (I love that name BTW). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Q Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 My hopes and prayers are for you and Mr Rollo, Iain. Modern medicine is wonderful, both for humans and our beloved fur babies, and I hope that Mr Rollo's issue has been found early enough to ensure a complete cure. Our little Chessie has given us a few scares, but is doing well. He'll be sixteen next month. Has slowed down a little, but not much. We have had a number of kitties over our lifetime, my wife, I, and together. One sadly died at eleven, all of the others beat twenty, the oldest, almost 25. So hopefully you'll have Mr Rollo for many more happy years. But as he enters middle age, like other males in mid-life crisis, he needs a proper sports car to tool around in to impress the chicks. Maybe a Purrari? Chessie wants one, but it's out of our budget. Ken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
