Siren

My oldest, loudest cat, Siren, has been limping slightly for a few weeks. Two days ago Roomie noticed that she was having problems putting weight on her left hind leg, although it seemed to be a bit better. Otherwise she's eating normally, drinking normally, and yowling up a storm if she isn't fed on time.

I checked her leg and discovered a large lump at the stifle joint. I called the vet and got her in this morning. They're taking x-rays right now to see what this is, but the vet suspects osteosarcoma, aka bone cancer.

If it is cancer, I have to decide what comes next. My poor little girl!

Information is always good. It makes the Unknown smaller, and less overwhelming. *hugs*

It’s scary, I know. :( I’ll send good thoughts your way and hope for the best.

I appreciate it, hon. She's such a good cat!

Poor girl! I hope the vet's first guess proves wrong. :-(

I'm praying that it's just a cyst, but it's not likely.

I sincerely hope it's not bone cancer. Pulling for you and your little one!

She's a cranky old lady, but she's a dear, loving cat. Losing her is going to hurt.
