Snow, coming undone …

June 20th, 2006

Well, last night I noticed that where two of the stitches had been removed, the scar opened leaving a 0.5 cm gap. So, I waited until this morning and called the vet back and requested that they re-stitch those spots. The vet does not normally see appointments today, so someone had to paged … anyway, I dropped Snow off this morning and she’ll get stitched. Hopefully I’ll be able to pick her up tonight.

In other, worrisome news, the chance of survival for a cat after being diagnosed with Fibrosarcoma is not so good - especially if it recurs. When I asked the receptionist about what she’s seen, she reports that the two cats who were diagnosed (via excision and biopsy) died within weeks. On the other hand, they were diagnosed with “severe malignancy” and Snow was only diagnosed with “moderate malignancy” - so perhaps there is more hope.

In any case, I’m praying for her. She is a good companion and deserves as much life as she can get.
