Hi the

My SIL has asked me to thank all of you for your thoughts, purrs, and
prayers for Melba. They got the test results back earlier than expected
and they were negative for cancer. She appears to have had a flare-up of
her IBS and is having some steriods for a while but seems to be eating
well now.

They were advised to wait until she is completely healed before bringing a
second cat into the house so my SIL's dad will take Sylvester when he
comes home today.


Might I ask why they removed her spleen, then? It is a very painful
operation and seems it was not needed. I'd be asking questions about that.
