Sadie
It’s been a really hard week. We learned early this week that Sadie our number one cat may have some form of cancer. What kind of cancer, if any cancer exists, is still unknown and that is a part of the story.
We noticed that Sadie had been breathing hard, wheezing and finally felt it was time to take her to the doctor.
Our Vet expressed immediate concern regarding Sadie. He took an x-ray of her throat area and it showed a mass around her esophagus. She had a regular exam and blood work in November and there were no signs of trouble. She lost one pound since November. Our vet also took a needle biopsy of the mass area and his viewing appeared to indicate an infection of the esophagus; he sent the biopsy to an outside lab for confirmation and diagnosis. Sadie was hydrated and given shot of antibiotic.
We were given amoxicillin to give Sadie at home and she ate almost one can of cat food last night. Good sign, we hope.
