Cool *Update* on cat with lump and reaction

Well! As I said, over the weekend, my kitty's lump under her chin went down considerably to the point where I can't feel it. She had a biopsy scheduled for Wed. So I brought her in to be checked today to see if we should still go ahead with the biopsy or not.

Verdict is: Vet said no need for a biopsy now, but if it was a mast cell tumor (usually benign in cats) the steroid would have helped it, so if it grows back, call and schedule a biopsy and at that time, it will be excised and biopsied. But at this time, he thinks all is well. Not sure what it is/was but we will see what happens, if it comes back or not. He felt around for a long while and felt really well and he thinks everything is ok at this time.

Also, her scabs on her legs are flaking off. No idea what caused the reaction, still, but the outcome looks as if it will be a good one

Thanks for all of the wonderful support here for the past week (and when she had her vaccine rxn two months ago)! You guys are great. I'm sorry to have found you all under these circumstances, but I'm glad to know you're all here
