Today I became the owner of a disabled pet due to Vaccination-Associated Fibrosarcomas (ie cancer due to Rabies Vaccination). Even with this amputation surgery, we have zero idea of his prognosis for the future, but everything I read isn’t overly positive.
We pray we bought some time for him…and for us.
I guess I wasn’t sure what to expect in total, like how I would feel when I saw him. I felt terrible. Like I did this to him. I gave him this vaccine, I brought him to the dr, I picked him up. He saw me in his cage and did a flip around immediately, snuggling up to Charlotte’s face.
All appears to be forgiven.
He can walk, if you can call it that, but its more like a jump hop. He tires in about 3 steps and lays down.
The stitches are rough.
Scary.
The red you see is bruising and swelling.
He was grateful to see us and to come home. I am keeping him confined to this office during the day and in my bedroom with me at night until the 14 days are up to get his stitches out.
The first thing he did when I opened his cage was hobble to the window to gaze out.
And he purred.
Awww poor baby! I had to muster the courage for my preggo self to come look but it’s not that bad! I’m sure he’ll do great!
Awww, sweet kitty. She looks kinda sorry with the shaved hair and all, but it will grow back and I am sure she is happy to be alive.
Aww poor baby I am glad that you got him some time though I think you did a great thing.
I can imagine how happy he must have been to come home. I bet he’ll adapt in no time. You’ll see.
Awww man, poor guy. Give him some extra pets for me Trisha.
Aww poor baby. He will get used to it. At least he is not in pain from that horrible tumor anymore.
He will adjust and be just fine! Animals are extremely forgiving and loving creatures. ((hugs)) and *head pets*
Wait! He got cancer from a rabies vaccine? WTH?
I’m so sorry. Poor little guy.
Awww
Oh my
I bet he is just glad to be home!
Poor cat! Praying for comfort.
poor baby boy
I’m so glad he’s home and purring! That’s a great sign!
awww poor baby glad he is home!
Aw, how sad. I’m hoping he’ll recover quick.
AWWW Poor kitty!
Poor kitty. I hope he feels better soon!
Poor little love!!! I hope he is up and about in no time!
OH my goodness!
Well, I’m sure he’s going to adapt and be fine as soon as he heals. You’ll see…he’ll be running and jumping in no time!
Poor baby!
I bet he is glad to be home.
I am glad he is home. It’s sad to see your “baby” like that
