Petey made it through the night and is home, doing Petey things again.
The e-vet pulled a pretty good quantity of fluid out of his chest, and he rebounded pretty quickly. So, we picked Petey up this morning and sat in Dr. Gil’s parking lot until the office opened.
Dr. Gil did a thorough exam, took some Xrays, and couldn’t find anything other than a slightly enlarged mediastinum. Since that’s where Petey’s cancer originates, it’s obviously a cause for concern.
For now, we’re watching and waiting. We won’t know for sure if the cancer is out of remission until we get lab results on the chest fluid. We have no way of knowing if or when fluid might build up in Petey’s chest again.
So, we’re just cuddling, napping, and eating chicken.
Thank you all for the kind words, warm thoughts, purrs, and prayers. They’re soothing to me, and I know Petey feels them too.
I’m so happy for Petey. I worried all night about him. My Pete & the other 5 send love, purrs and lots of bacon.
We’ll be purring and purring for him. Lymphoma took our Big Sister and Brother to the Bridge, so it’s inspiring to hear that Petey is fighting so hard. Keep fighting Petey!!
Purrs,
Pearl, Bert and Jake
Way to go, Petey. Keep on keeping on.

Napping in a puddle of sunshine sounds like a perfect way to spend the day. I hope he gets to do that for a very long time to come.

our bean auntie ethel just had the same thing happen–an’ they hadda drain away almost a liter of lung fluid from her!! she likes to snuggle up in a blanket, sleep a lot, an’ rest, too–so that must be the best thing to do in a case like this. she’s a nurse, so we’re pretty sure it’s right! hog those sunbeams, dear boy!
