Re: Cat Mouth Cancer
Hi all
I am looking for some advice. I do volunteer work for an animal charity, and a week ago, a cat was brought in who had been diagnosed with mouth cancer 2 weeks previously. She was there to be euthanased but a lot of us felt that she was not sick enough to justify this, so I rehomed her, with the intention of getting her eating again, building up her strength so that she is able for treatment and then hopefully finding a nice home for her when she recovers. Even if surgery is not successful, we will obviously nurse her until such a time that keeping her alive is unfair on her. I would never keep an animal alive who was suffering but if she can have some wuality of life then we are willing to put in the effort.
So far, we have got her back on semi-solids and her mood is up. Her gums and mouth are very swollen so we took her to a vet the day before yesterday and she was given an antibiotic shot, as well as 14 days supply of abtibiotic tabs, she seemed to really improve yesterday but today she is not great. Does anyone have any experience with matters like these?
