How is she doing?
She's doing well, thanks. At the weekend she was popped back to the vets for a check, and it's amazing how well her wound had healed in just a matter of days, they were very pleased with how well it was doing. She's back in on Thursday for another check, and to possibly, if they feel apt, have her stitches out. They may by then have the findings from the lab back too.Other than that, she's sleeping more than usual (if that were possible!) which we suspect is an effect of the post op meds.
Thanks for asking.
To all who took the time to post. We are now 4 months on and I can happily report that there has so far been no comeback of any new lumps or any other signs that we need to be worried about. Keeping our fingers crossed, as she is the loveliest mannered cat that either of us has ever known.

I really envy you as you have hope.
My parrot has an aggressive and invasive skin cancer. I was told by two avian vets that not much can be done as it is on the birds back by the wing's joint, they believe that if it didn't penetrate the bone yet it will happen in the near future. Also, as the lumps are over relatively large area even if they operate they can't see how the wound can be closed.
I am completely destroyed and find my self in tears when I just think of her. When this one goes I am not sure what to do with the other.

Miss her every day.
Thank you, I have never believe that it is possible to feel so close to an animal.
Greys and parrots as a whole are very intelligent birds. This one is using words that she knows to construct new sentences.
When she doesn't like something she says "Don't like it". When I took her to the vet my wife said to her that she is "Going in the car". Then one day when I took her to the vet she said " Don't like it in the car", she tells me when she wants me to take her out to the garden and punish me by gentle bites if I cheat and go somewhere else.
Having parrots for the last 16 years convinced me that it is wrong to have these birds in captivity, they need lots of attention and stimuli are noisy and destructive (our banister, books, records, carpets... were chewed more than once).
