I took Holly in to see her Uncle Sean the other day for a check over.  She's doing really well, he can still see the stalk of one of the tumours in her ear but there's no infection which is good news.  He said with Melonoma's, they are an aggressive cancer so for rehoming purposes it may be better if need be to get her a foster home rather than a forever home.  He really can't say how long she has got, she hasn't gained any weight since I've had her but he said it's possible she will have cancer elsewhere in her body.  I will just have to keep an eye on her and have regular checks done on her ears but at the moment she is eating well, is happy and loveable and has even started having the odd meow at me  :Luv2:  :Luv2:

Holly's now home and she seems pretty comfortable.  She had a painkilling injection and some antibiotics and Sean said the ears were horrible.  The masses she had were in her left ear, they were very deep down into the ear canal and had pus surrounding them  :sick:  Both ears have melanoma's and there was a lot of bleeding during the op but in herself she seems fine  :Luv:

Sean's just rang and Holly's fine.  He's removed 2 tumours from her ear but she has a few small Melonoma's as well.  He thinks the tumours will reappear at some stage and he doesn't really think she's destined to be on earth for a long time  :'(  She's an old cat and hardly has any teeth, and she's had to have one rotten one removed today.  Her ears have been cleaned and basically it's a case of wait and see, she has to go back in a week for a check up.

I know, it's just so depressing when things go wrong for them  :'(  Sean said he can't even see down one ear, and I'm again peed off with the other vet because when I picked Holly up after the RTA, the vet gave her no drops,  just the antibiotics  >:(

I've taken Holly back to the vets today for Sean to check her ears as I'm still not convinced she can hear properly.  It looks like she's got lots of little tumours forming in her ears  :'(  He didn't even check her properly and her ear was bleeding straight away so I'm not sure what this will mean for her.  He's got her booked in for tomorrow but it's not definite he will have time as they are chocca, he's going to attempt to blast the tumours and have a good look to see what's going on.  Keep your fingers crossed for her, she is a little babe and I just hope she won't be in too much pain afterwards  :'(

Holly is beautiful - she reminds me of my Minnie.  I hope her owner turns up soon  :scared:

I know what you mean Lisa, hitting an animal is one of my worst nightmares.  My mother hit a dog once - nothing she could do, it ran straight out in front of her - and she was mortified, but luckily it wasn't badly hurt  ;D

Dya know it really really really amazes me how cruel & wicked some people are  :censored: :censored:

If someone lay him/her infront of my car & said ok go for it.. I would very happily run over them.. as slow as possible too  :censored:
Ive been very lucky & never hit anything.. if I did It would haunt me forever.. things have ran out & I swerve or slow right down & have neally caused accidents (& been sworn at by everyone) but its just natural reaction...I cant help it..

Hope the poor thing finds its owners

I've christened this little lady Holly and she is gorgeous.  I'm a little concerned about her ears as she doesn't seem to be able to hear, this could be due to the bang on her head so I'll have to get her back in for a checkover.

When my Matilda was knocked down, it was witnessed by two ladies in the car behind the one that hit her.  They said Matilda rolled in front of the car, towards the kerb, and the car slowed down, the passenger door opened and someone looked out, and then they just drove away  :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:  The two ladies stopped and rang me from the number on Matilda's collar - they could tell her neck was broken and she was already gone as soon as they moved her, but the people who hit her couldn't have known that, and didn't stop.  It haunts me still  :censored: :censored: :censored:  Glad this little girl is doing okay  :hug:

That's great news that the little one is doing well - bless you, Dawn, for taking her in and nursing her, and to the lovely lady who was kind enough to stop and get her to safety. I totally agree with all sentiments already expressed about the driver in question  :censored: >:(
Thank goodness there are kind people in the world - hope she continues to recover well, and that someone comes forward to welcome her home.

No microchip  :tired: I asked at the houses near work but it's possible she's come from the council estate which is directly at the top of the woods, I'll put a few posters up and see what happens.

Nothing as yet BC, I'm going to put a notice in the vets when they open again.  She has got a lovely nature on her although a little timid which is to be expected really.

This little lady seems to be okay although she's not eating on her own yet so I've had to syringe feed her.  She's on painkillers and antibiotics and hopefully should be right as rain in a few days.  I'll take some piccies of her later  :Luv:

I think she'll be okay, I was worried about her bleeding from her ears and one pupil was dilated but she seems really bright.  The vet said she'd been out of her cage today and seemed quite lively.  Once she's been sedated tomorrow she'll have her op and they'll check her over properly.  I asked the vet to do x rays on her but with what's happened with Jasmine, I don't know if they've been done.  I've just completely lost faith in vets today, I rang the other vets on Friday about Jasmine and it was the vet I won't deal with on but in hindsight, I'm wondering if she would have got the better deal going there.  I'm phoning them in the morning anyway to see how she is so I'll update then  :hug:
