Something is always ... * sigh *

Two weeks ago I einhalb the thick Signe yes times for dental restoration towed ... after I broadside months repeatedly different vets on their inflamed gums had tripped and all previous therapy with cortisone and antibiotics had brought nothing, it was time to time, the case closer look be taken.

Especially a job back in the rear area saw evil. As a Geschulst had formed, the starkt sometimes bleeds. And that made me worry. To the right, as it turned out, because during my Katzi anesthesia in the same location was a biopsy of the bloody Knubbel made, apparently not so bloody gums looked like ignition Knubbel ( "tissue due to chronic ulcerative gingivitis - stomatitis") commonly look. There was a suspected squamous carcinoma. Not good news, because this Krebsgeschüre are usually pretty vicious and destroy the surrounding bone tissue. Signe would be at the lower jaw bone. Most are squamous carcinomas in cats-only operable hard, because the animals are not as readily throughout the affected bones can cut out lots.

So it followed days of waiting. And waiting. And even more waiting.

Yesterday we went to the veterinary clinic drove to the outcome of us personally announce it. Phone has not worked. First the good news: There is no squamous-Karziom! Then the bad: It is not only an ulcer that because of the Zahnfleichentzündung formed ...

Signe suffers from a mast tumor grade II The mast cells are the cells in the body, in an allergic reaction to histamine and pour out so for the typical symptoms of physical care. Mastzellentumoren problematic is that they suddenly all at once so much histamine can pour out that there is an allergic shock comes.

Mast cells are normally either on the skin but can also occur in internal organs. Since Signes tumor in the foot cave is located, there is the suspicion that he was in the stomach could have dispersed. This would also explain why Signe such a sensitive stomach has ...

While bloody mouth ulcers are very uncomfortable, I shall put it to me in the stomach much worse before.

Signe instantaneous treated with cortisone, that effect should Mastzellentumoeren well. The operation is not particularly promising, the Mastzellentumore significantly and sprinkle it in this case, not everything could remove affected tissue.

Well, we hope that the cortisone works and Signe otherwise pain-free as long as possible remains.

Why must always be something with the cats

It is interesting, incidentally, that Mastzellentumore occur frequently in Siamese and therefore have a genetic predisposition naheliegt. If you look at Signes tree appeared, to reach the following conclusion:

Less than 1% of the ancestors can not be traced to the Foundation are.

41.2% Kirlee

~ 12% Siamese!
