Recently I was transfered by work for a month and a half up north.

September, after a tumor removal turned out to be worse than expected.
The tumor was rated between a 1-2 on a 1 to 3 grade scale; 3 being the

I have two white persian cats. A 3 y/o female and a 1 y/o male. The

sensitive about stuff like that) and also use a ear powder to aid ...

A couple of weeks ago I noticed that there was some blood in my dogs
urine.  The next day I brought a sample into our vet for testing...they
called me within a few hours to let me know that she had to come in
right away to see the vet and more than likely get some blood work

We have a 14-yr old female.  Her behavior had changed (lethargy,
isolation), and then she stopped eating solid food, so we took her to
the vet.  The vet found a "large-ish" abdominal mass.  Thinking back, we
suspect this has been developing for quite a while.

Cali tested postive for roundworm in January and was given a deworming
(drontal).  She had another deworming in February though wasn't tested that
month.  She's been on interceptor reguarly since January.  She also had some
doses in October and November but not December.  Today, ...

Have an 11 year old cat that has a tumor on his hind leg that is now huge,
about 7" x 4" and he has just started to severely limp.  He still has an
appetite and hobbles around like he is not sick at all.  We believe he has
osteosarcoma and thought  the disease would take over ...
