The results of Crackles biopsy has came back and he has cancer. He has
only one option which is a very expensive surgery on his ear and only if
it hasn't spread to his lungs. An xray would determine if its gone to
the lungs. The operation would have to be done by a specialist and I was
told would be $1000 and would have to be done very soon. I didn't get to
talk to the main vet that did the biopsy operation but one of the vets
that fills in for her so I don't know what his chaces are if he has the
surgery.

Ok I gotta stop writting now I am crying again.

I am so sorry to hear this :-(

Sending purrs for you and Crackles.

I talked to the regular vet, I have more sad news. Crackles isn't a good
canidate for the surgery, tho if he was a dog with the same thing he
might be. They'd have to take too much surrounding tissues to assure of
getting it all.

She perscribed prednazone(sp?) for inflamation and he still needs his
antibiotics eveyday. He had his first prednazone yesterday and it seems
to have helped already with the swelling in the cheek. He got his
stitches out today and now is hiding in the storage room...opps take
that back he just walked in front of me to the food bowl. She said as
long as he is eating and breathing fine he is doing fine and I just need
to keep a close eye for any changes.

She says all of y'all are "good people" for helping Crackles and I
gotta agree. p
