Please send good vibes to poor ol' Alfie...
Not sure if, I told you all.. but last year on Boxing Day a neighbour came round, panicking about a cat they found, which they had seen a few times but and he didn't seem to look in good health - so to cut the story short, she gave him to my Nan.. She went to the rescue *whom I now work for* and they donated £60 to cover up the vet bill... He was checked over and was said to be healthy just under nutrition... therefore my nan kept him.. He is a really nice cat and loves human company - doesn't mind their dog either, which is a good thing...
Anyways.. last Friday my nan noticed his joints were abit swollen..thinking it was arthritus she made him an appointment to the vets, for some medication...They gave him Metacam - which he was fed until Saturday, on Sunday he refused his food.. Again down the vets to examine his teeth *he also appeared to be dribbling*....but everything was OK and the vets didn't seem bothered about his teeth, just his legs and joints *because they were swollen*...The good news is they took blood tests too make everything and organs were OK and that came back today - all clear, which is good... The bad news is that he might have bone cancer... I suppose the weeks or months, he was left a stray is making an impact on him now
My nan has booked him in for an x-ray on Friday..I will let you all know how it goes... I hope it's not cancer related...and it's something that he can be treating for...  xxx
