Moxy’s dental procedure went well. He had a full cleaning, and two teeth extracted.
He did have another issue that I wanted the doctor to examine. Moxy has had what looked to be a cyst on his left shoulder. It was not under the skin, but on top of it, and connected only to the skin; I didn’t think it serious, but I wanted it looked at nonetheless. It was removed, and as the doctor said that she has some concern about it, it was sent away for analysis.
This little addition to the work planned is causing more complications than the dental surgery, since the spot where the cyst was is sewn up and cannot be disturbed. Moxy has to be kept from wrestling or other exuberant action for a week, and will wear a cone while I am absent. He did not seem interested in the wound through the night, but that may change as the healing process makes itself felt. Nor did he want to play, with toys or roommates; that too will likely change as he begins to feel better, but needs to be discouraged for a week. He dislikes the cone more than most cats I’ve had to put it on, and hates the painkillers he must be given every morning. On top of this, he must return to the hospital in ten days to have the stitches removed, and the site examined.
The Mixer is not enjoying himself right now.

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear the dental visit proved to be more work than you had thought. Poor guy, that looks like quite an incision.
ReplyDeletePoor Moxy. I'm glad his dental procedure went well, but the lesion on his shoulder is worrisome. Please let us know what the biopsy report reveals.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, things like that are always so concerning. We're all sending purrs.
ReplyDeletePoor Moxy, he thought a good tooth brushin' was all he was in for. And then this. Hope he copes well until the stitches are out and the diagnosis is nothing serious.
ReplyDeletePoor sweetie. What about one of those soft doughnut type "cones"? Not expensive (at least Derry's wasn't at the time) and easier than a plastic cone. Anyway, I hope the cyst comes back as benign. 🤞
ReplyDeleteI am glad the dental procedure went well. Hopefully now the cyst has been removed it will be found to be benign.
ReplyDeleteMoxy, we promise, that you'll forget all about these indignities in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry Moxy that you went through all that. PLEASE be patient. By the way, regarding Moxy's topically connected lesion that has been removed; Mom read a treatise on Stage 0 cancer and what that is. VERY loosely speaking, it's cells that have something abnormal going on...maybe in the tissue wherever discovered and it's good to get rid of it before AND if, it turns to Stage 1. No margins are affected at Stage 0. It is simply something amiss but not causing a problem. In situ. Nothing has spread. One should of course, rid oneself of it through surgery or radiation treatment.
ReplyDeleteAwwww....bless his heart. I am happy the dental procedure went smoothly.
ReplyDeleteGlad his dental went well but sure send purrayers that the cyst is just that - a cyst. (Good catch on your part !)
ReplyDeleteI hope the cyst turns out ok. XO
ReplyDeleteGlad they could do both surgeries together. Hope his recovery goes well.
