Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Scooby News

Scooby's OK.
No cancer cells or anything malignant was found by the lab.

They found some mildly inflamed lymphocytes (white blood cells formed in lymph tissue that help fight infection and help with immunities) and benign fat cells.
Dr. Rich said there is possibly some kind of tissue reaction perhaps a small cyst that ruptured under the skin. Kind of like a pimple that popped inward instead of outward spewing matter that wasn't enough to cause massive infection but enough to get the white blood cells inflamed.

Scooby is going stay on his antibiotics and we need to call if anything gets worse, otherwise finish the antibiotics and let him know how it goes. It may get re-absorbed by the body and just go away. Anyway, it's not bothering him, he's not biting or licking at it, but he gets plenty hissed off when we tag-team him to shoot the pill down his gullet!

WE are so glad that it isn't anything serious and that is was just fatty cells. They are so annoying those stupid fatty cells.

And oh, we know about the pill shooting - not a fun thing to do for anyone involved!

We will keep on purring for it to reabsorb!

Oh yes! This is indeed good news. Pilling poodins can be quite tiresome. Maw pills 3 of us daily. Not fun.
