Description
HENDERSON, TEXAS: For those following our cat adventures, Tigress's mom, Egypt, was rescued from the Canton, Texas kill shelter 04/25/2024. When Tigress was born on April 29, 2024 she had already cheated death twice. Four of her littermates did not survive birth even though we saved them from the kill-shelter. Tigress survived both.
Unfortunately, Tigress developed breathing issues in June 2024 and has been ill since then. At times we were fearful that she was not going to make it. She has been to the vet multiple times and has had several medications administered daily since then. Her vet bills just kept growing without her improving at all.
After having tried everything that the vet had recommended, in desperation I requested they perform a scope procedure under anesthesia to inspect her airways for abnormalities.
During that procedure, a mass was found. (refer to photo)
The mass was removed and sent for evaluation. Fortunately, it was found to be a benign polyp and was not cancerous! Yippee!!!
Since the mass removal, we have monitored her breathing, which is now normal. Her energy level is higher than it has been since June and she is finally able to stop taking medications that I have been administering to her daily for 7 months.
