hey all, we brought Tiger for her checkup last night, and it is good news. The tumour appears to have reduced in size, and her gums are not as swollen as they were now that she is on antibiotics. We have her on a formula that I am reluctant to tell any vet about, because it is a natural remedy, and you know the old battle of conventional vs alternative, but we really do have faith in it. Anyway she is doing very well, her mood is generally up and she is eating solids. Last night, she had a little play it was so nice to see. She was hiding behind one of our suitcases and she was pretending to hunt me - kept batting me with her paw (with her claws in mind!), then she rolled over and had a big rub and scratch on her tummy. She has the loudest, most rumbly purr ever!
