This is a day after the extractions last week. The eye does look a little better tonite. He's taken a real beating all of a sudden with little warning though. But is still pretty much himself and in little discomfort, despite how he looks. I wouldn't draw this out unless I though so.

As of tonite. STILL waiting for Floppy's biopsy results. He's still holding out fine, although showing wear for the road he's traveled. Meanwhile, here is what is giving me strength to maintain the path. Even if Ambercat is both good and the Devil rolled up in one package....

We're still working on figuring out what's going on here. I will fight for Floppy hard on this. Right now he's showing no distress, beyond the running eyes and drooling that's been happening when he eats that's been happening since he went on the thyroid and arthritis pain meds. He's still doing fine otherwise. And Storm and Mikesch are giving him love and support. Ambercat is still a jerk....

One of my OLD relatives in Aalen 40 plus years ago looked just like that when my parents took me over the Pond as a 14 year old kid. Scared the crap out of me. Ended up being one of the sweetest human beings I've ever met. Gone roughly 20 years now. He was my uncle on my mother;s side.

Biposy results should be next week I'd think. He's lounging on the bed right now with Mikesch, looking like absolutely great. I'm realistic on this. He's a VERY old cat. If this doesn't get him, SOMETHING will, in a year, maybe 2 or three at the best.I was just wishing that all 4 from that family didn't go from cancer. Wouldn't be surprised if the 3 brothers I adopted out at 8 weeks went like that also. I was just hoping he'd just wear out and pass away in a cat bed with Mikesch next to him . Anyway, no thyroid meds now, no gabapentin now. They're suspect, and compared to this, the things they were meant to address are pretty minuscule.

I don't think this is cancer. I think its Pharmaceutical Malpractice. Anyone in So. NH with access to share time on a Mass Spectrometer, or outside the region with interest, want to get in on a "Ground Floor Opportunity?" Spread this wide on whatever SM platform you're on...

Totally himself after being home 2 hours after having every tooth in the upper part of his mouth yanked. . No sign of distress at all. Awaiting biopsy results, and will probably throw the big bux at this at Tufts or Angel Memorial if I have to, as long as he's not in discomfort.

Not good news. What I just sent my sister: "They pulled that canine out like it was in wet cement. Then he found the rest of the teeth on that side were the same, and pulled all them too. He said the gums are very spongy, and said it is most likely cancer. He asked me if I wanted to let Floppy wake up from this. I told him yes, because he's acting fine and eating fine at the moment. Then later he said that while he was under, since we were waking him up, he looked at the other side of the mouth to take care of any other dental work while he was under. All the upper teeth on the left side were bad as well, and he pulled them all too. He said that side was soft also, which was weird to him. Cancer would most likely be on one side, not both. So there is a small amount of hope. Waiting for the biopsy. He said there's a thyroid symptom that can cause a huge calcium deficiency. So since all this started when he went on the thyroid and pain meds, I let him wake up. He's doing fine with no upper teeth right now and wolfing down soft food."
