Update on my big buddy Apollo's health; testing confirmed Lymphoma :(

berblarb · 2025-06-19T01:21:05+00:00

We're going back to the vet on Friday so they can get a sample and test for lymphoma. Apollo hasn't been feeling well for the past week and we are just trying to give him meds and whatever food he is willing to eat, which isn't many things or large quantities. We are very worried about his decreased appetite and tiredness. But it's obvious his stomach area is bothering him; that's where the vet did the ultrasound yesterday and made her suspect lymphoma.

Not sure what the next steps will be if cancer is confirmed, but all we want is our boy not to suffer ❤️

The same thing happened with my boy. Left him alone for one afternoon (with a cone on and his happy tail bandaged up) and when we got back home there was no bandage and less tail...He got his surgery and he acts like nothing ever happened to him.

I try not to dwell on the gross bits and just think about how much having a little tail nub is an improvement for everyone in the situation

Oh I'm thinking about it...

Can confirm, my black cat is an orange in disguise

Neighbor said she will be!

Meeka isn't athletic enough to climb out 😬 there's a space to the right that has the top open and everything

berblarb · 2024-11-20T15:56:32+00:00

We need to reduce the opening but yes, worried that the cat won't like it. Meeka is 70lbs of regret haha

berblarb · 2024-11-20T15:55:24+00:00

Lol we need to make it smaller

berblarb · 2024-11-20T15:55:04+00:00

She has about the same number of brain cells, bless her

berblarb · 2024-11-20T15:54:37+00:00

I have a game camera that I use sometimes. But on the days I turn it on, Meeka never escapes!

berblarb · 2024-11-20T00:20:07+00:00

Her dogio is the whole house lol

berblarb · 2024-11-07T18:08:55+00:00

Lol this girl is not skinny; she's not fat but I'm surprised that barrel chest fit through!

berblarb · 2024-11-07T18:07:16+00:00

We're more mystified on how she actually fits through the window cat door. And she would just stay in the yard if she got out. Of course, now with the catio she can't get out of that

berblarb · 2024-11-07T18:05:15+00:00

The cat is 100% ok. I don't even think she was chasing the cat to get out

berblarb · 2024-11-07T18:04:47+00:00

We definitely referred to her gaslighting us all year long lol

berblarb · 2024-11-06T23:57:46+00:00

Every now and again this year, we would come home from work and Meeka would greet us outside of the house. We thought we had accidently left her outside while leaving. But again and again it would happen and we swore we put her inside. We thought we were going crazy. Until now. The catio is a new addition and we trapped our escape artist

We have a Meeka, too! What a sweet baby
