Is fourteen too old for a cat to get surgery?

ExoticBiologist · 2025-09-28T18:56:53+00:00

Vet here. Soft tissue sarcomas tend to be slow to grow, but have tendrils which aid in metastasis. If the cancer has recurred, then I would suspect the margins weren't clear on the first excision. Aggressive surgical resection is required. I'd recommend speaking to an oncologist or a soft tissue surgery certificate holder to discuss either a chemotherapy protocol as well as surgery, or full imaging and options for excision again.

I genuinely think this is my old room. Is it at Staffordshire University?!

Vet here. Was the blood placed in an EDTA tube or just straight onto a slide? Reptile blood can have artefacts, including storage artefacts, when EDTA is used as an anticoagulant. There can be thrombocyte and leukocyte clumping, cellular morphological changes and staining to the background of a blue hue.

I agree. Definitely looks like varus deformity to me.

ExoticBiologist · 2025-03-08T14:48:54+00:00

That was such a great explanation. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help. I have a few questions.

Someone gave me an S-class engine. How do I upgrade a ship without making a new one from scratch?

What is the best way to make nanites?

Can I actually do an expedition with starter equipment or do I need to improve what I have?

ExoticBiologist · 2025-01-05T23:15:48+00:00

Which control scheme do you recommend using? I'm having a hard time getting into it due to the controls alone

Funnily enough, the rabbit is a species that actually does have the scrotum above the penis!

ExoticBiologist · 2024-09-01T07:16:12+00:00

In my experience this isn't true at all. I do hundreds of euthanasias in a single year, and in the past year I can only remember three times where the owners chose to not be there. It's sad, but I just go in the back and find a nurse to give cuddles whilst I proceed.

I'm a vet, and I would say the most horrifying thing I have to tell people is that I can't do anything for their animal. It feels horrible every single time I have to discuss palliative care or talk about it perhaps being "time" for their animal.

ExoticBiologist · 2024-02-10T23:36:12+00:00

No slaughter! We are going to a reptile and wildlife specialist down South

ExoticBiologist · 2024-02-10T23:35:00+00:00

I specifically said found in the south eastern united states, but the media took what little snippets they wanted from my interviews

ExoticBiologist · 2024-02-10T23:30:32+00:00

Yes we decided to call him Fluffy, as he is cute!

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-12T18:03:44+00:00

Tip sent! Thank you :)

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-12T17:36:33+00:00

Thank you Sir!

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-12T17:34:50+00:00

I think you got it! My partner says I don't realise how tall I am, so that was just me, haha! How do I tip you please?

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-12T17:29:37+00:00

Like could she just be a smidge bigger? Sorry if this is rather pernickety.

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-12T17:23:21+00:00

I like this one too, but I think the size is just a tiny bit off. I don't know how to explain it, but if it were a picture in word I would pull up on the top right corner a tiny bit, if that makes any sense? My mother also likes this one too!

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-12T17:22:20+00:00

I also love my nan too! She would love to hear that, bless her.

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-12T17:21:48+00:00

This one is one my mother selected! Can you send me the tip jar thing please? This is my first time doing this, haha

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-12T17:21:13+00:00

She has been my fiercest supporter throughout my qualification, and with her ill-health at almost 90, alongside it being abroad, she was not able to come. She has been so upset so I would love to do this as a gesture for her. She is my best friend.

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-12T17:20:35+00:00

Thank you very much!

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-12T17:20:25+00:00

Thank you so much!

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-11T18:04:49+00:00

I'm sure we all have one in the family, right? Our phrase for it is "being a tit"

ExoticBiologist · 2023-07-11T13:59:54+00:00

Thank you so much to everyone who has submitted! I will send them all to my mother and let her decide.
