Mushie is one tough cookie of a cat. Mushie was diagnosed with a very rare salivary gland adenocarcinoma. His owner, Haydee, is on fixed income and has made an extraordinary effort to get Mushie the treatment he needs. Haydee found Dr. Ned Williams who performed extensive surgery to remove the tumor and the lower half of Mushie’s jaw. Wow! The good news is that after the successful surgery and follow up tests showed that the cancer had not spread, Mushie has a good prognosis.
Mushie was referred to Dr. Rosemarie Williams at The Sound Cat for follow up treatment. Because of your support, we will be able to donate $500.00 towards his care and will be able to help more cats and dogs suffering from cancer with your help.
Dear Chris,
Mushie is now home with us, and is recovering marvelously. This coming Wednesday will be his follow up. He is eating from his own mouth now. His eating is more sloppy as he does not have the right mandible, but he is determined to eat the food he drops. I also help him along with a spoon to pile the food in his bowl. He has difficulty in keeping some of the food in his mouth, but if he is hungry enough, he shovels it in. HE is quite a cat. His day is eating and socializing a bit with us then he goes back to his bed.
Again, Chris and your organization thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I shall keep you informed as soon as the surgeon gives the ok for Mushie’s to start radiation with Dr. Williams. I am so glad we made the decision we made and fortunate to have some organizations like yours.
