UPDATE TUES - Mr Kitty is on his way home. All went well. The fluid filled lump was sizable - about 2" by 1 1/2". The vet drained it rather than put him thru surgery to cut it out. He will be happy to get back home to eat - he loves his food and was so upset we pulled the food up last night. I had to shut him in the bedroom to feed the others this morning before I took him in. After so many losses I was upset leaving him this morning and cried when I came out to the car. It will take a while to relax at the vet I guess. It was not anyone's fault with Georgie - just a lot of complications. The vets involved did the best they could for her. I just have to let that go. Thank you for all the purrs for Mr Kitty (and me). Love you all.
Mr. Kitty has a lump on his neck. We did a biopsy months ago and it is not cancer - just a pocket of fluid collecting there. The vets drained it at that time while he was having his dental. It is rather large again and in the way when we have to get blood from him etc.

Tues. tomorrow, we will bring him in to have it drained again. He will need a little anesthesia but not as much as if he had surgery. Please keep him in your thoughts and keep those purrs coming for a easy procedure and recovery.

At some point, if the lump seems to come back quickly, we may opt for surgery to remove it altogether but I hesitate to do this due to his age (17 this year) and his feistiness. Recovering from full surgery would be stressful on him and us. We will update this post and Facebook when he gets out of his procedure.
