Maestro




Our old man turned 19 years old last fall. A couple of weeks ago the pet sitter found a lump at the back of his jaw.

Our v-e-t came last night. Mo and Spud were due for check ups and vaccines. They are doing well though Mo did try to bite the tech (oh my).

As for Maestro, they took some samples from the lump. He is kind of stiff as well but things are limited for cats. We should hear something back by the end of the week. The doctor thinks it involves his salivary gland....either an infection or a tumor. Mom talked to the vet about how much to do and while mom can medicate him she is reluctant to go to extremes due to his age. We will keep you all posted.

    I hope the lump is nothing serious. Eric had a lump at the back of his jaw too, and the vet thought it was the salivary gland and said to just watch it and bring him back if it caused a problem. He had it for about 4 years and it never gave him any problems. I hope Rambler's lump is the same.

    Purrs and purrayers for Maestro. We hope it's something easily treated, definitely not a tumour.

    Given the two choices, we're hoping it's an infection, and that it can be treated. Purring and praying for you, Maestro!
