Ken Q Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) I should further note, Iain, to take lab reports with caution and common sense. At one point we had Chessie in for a urinary issue, and the vet ran a blood test. The liver enzymes were out of this world! He should have been at death's door. But he was eating well, active, affectionate, and in all ways normal. So note, lab results can be wrong. Don't panic, and double check, or just follow your instincts.

Iain Emms Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Thanks Ken for your concern we are sure Mr Rollo is doing fine we are having the scans done really for peace of mind and we do hope that they don't find anything. He is jumping around and running around the house as normal so let's hope. cheers Iain 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Emms Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Vets called with a plan for Mr Rollo tomorrow. No food after 8pm tonight. 10:15am he goes for sleepy juice, x rays and blood work they’ll compare his blood work from before surgery. If the x ray shows anything suspicious they will do a ultrasound if that’s suspicious they will get the oncologist to come or we go to them for more detailed scans and we have to get a urine sample off him. cheers Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I can't see a urine sample being a simple task from Mr Rollo. Good luck with that Iain! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they will give us some cat litter that doesn't absorb the urine and then we can get some out of his litter tray. cheers Iain 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Emms Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Well then chaps just back from the vets they have had Mr Rollo all day doing tests urine and bloods and scans on his liver and kidneys spleen and intestine everything came back all OK no sign of cancer or anything else wrong with him. The vet said he is a healthy boy and that is the end of it if we find anything in future go back to the vet. So it's fantastic news indeed for Mr Rollo after his scare the vet said it helped cutting out the mass as soon as we found it. Now then back to normal for us all after all the worries we had over him and thanks for all the concerns from you chaps here it meant a lot to me and Ayiesha.

Congratulations to Mr. Rollo, Ayiesha, and you. From the looks of the photo you shared, Mr. Rollo probably would like a yogurt and cat-grass treat as a celebration. 😉 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebear Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 That's really great news. It's great that everything turned out well. Mr. Rollo really is a handsome little guy. Unfortunately, I also had to go to the vet again yesterday. Our little cat always defends her garden like a lion against intruders and must have injured his tongue in a fight. Thanks to an injection for the pain and antibiotics, she is feeling a little better today and luckily she can drink and eat again. I assume that someone abandoned her at that time in a nearby park shortly before the start of the vacations, because no one seems to have missed her yet. She was so hungry and emaciated and full of ticks when she turned up in our garden nearly ten years ago. Meanwhile she is again in a very good condition confirmed the vet yesterday She is so brave and sweet, I am so glad she found her way to us. Since then, she is like a little ray of sunshine for us every day . Ulrich 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Hi Iain, I hardly ever come here these days, but I just popped in and saw this thread. Sorry to hear about the scare with Mr Rollo, but delighted it all turned out well. He is one handsome boy, for sure, and he looks perfectly content there on his tower now. Hope you have many more happy years with him, cheers, Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Emms Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 Thank you Andy he is asleep on the top of his tower tree at the moment. The vets we have I must say are first rate and nothing was any trouble for them so onwards and upwards. cheers Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They each have their own personality. They all are loved and very independent. I'm glad Mr Rollo is doing fine. He looks a strong cat. Not sure how old he is, but hopefully he has a good few years in him yet.😸 cheers Gumby 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
