A worrying weekend ahead.

I'm sorry to hear about Baz Jane10 I do hope everything works out well. I'll have my fingers crossed for you on Monday.

I'm not sure if Baz is a dog or cat but I'll be thinking about him on Monday.
I gather that he is quite old so I'm sure that the vet will take extra, special care of him.

He's an 8 year old cat. No great age.

So sorry to hear about Baz. So young to have this hanging over him. Good luck Baz!

I'll be sending healing thoughts to your poor boy!

You have made the right choice. I have a very old dog and would have done the same. Thinking of you Baz.

Fingers crossed here, too. Cats are usually amazingly resilient, and even although vets say they do not react well to anaesthetics mine have always come out of them all right and recovered fast, so I hope Baz will too, and that the tumour is benign.

Do keep us posted, as we will all be worrying.

All my best wishes are winging their way to Baz. Will be thinking of him, and you, on Monday.

I keep looking at him and wondering if this time next week he won't be there. I found DD saying a special goodbye to him yesterday. I've scared myself silly reading about heart disease in Maine Coons. I know! But I can't help it. At least it confirms that investigations into heart problems in cats is aversive and unpleasant and that treatment can also be stressful for cats and ultimately unsuccessful. I'm glad DH is in complete agreement with me that we'll not be going down that road. He's had a happy relaxed life so far. Just hoping it can stay that way. Poor old boy.

Jane10 I am so sorry , I hope Baz makes a full recovery, x

Jane I’m so sorry to read your OP. I hope all goes well for Baz on Monday.

Hugs Jane

Well he made it through the op! We're collecting him at 2.30. The lump will be sent for histology to see what it was. Fingers tightly crossed.
We had been braced I case his heart gave out under anaesthetic so phew phew phew!

Jane10. That is good news, now let’s hope for a full recovery x

Whew!
Lives to fight another day!
That is lovely news Jane ??

I’m so relieved for you Jane

Just seen this Jane10, what a relief to read he’s through the op. I’m a dog person but those American Coon cats are wonderful, a friend had one, full of character.
Hope Baz recovers x

I've only just come to this thread. So pleased to see Baz has come through the op - what a worrying time you've had Jane. My best wishes to Baz for a full recovery and a good histology result that's reassuring for you.

Well done Baz! Get well soon!

I too have only just seen this so relieved Baz has come through his op. I love Maine Coons. Fingers crossed for the results.

Great news. Come on Baz!

Great news, Baz is a tough boy! Fingers crossed for best news for the results. He deserves some treaters now, any turkey left?

Really good news Jane10 you must be so relieved. Hope Baz makes a full recovery.

Happy and relieved for you all. Fingers and toes crossed for good results.
