All Pets Web – Not Just Dogs n Cats

Cancer does not just affect human beings, cats can also be prone to the ill affects of this deadly disease. Our family has a number of animals one of which is a beautiful cat called Pip. In the following few paragraphs I will be writing about how Pip managed to overcome Cancer with some help from our wonderful local vets.

Pip is a gorgeous cat who is a proud and confident member of our family. She is ninety-five percent white in colour, the other five percent is black. My experience with animals has made me very much aware of the increased possibility that white furred cats have of contracting cancer in comparison to other coloured furred cats.

Over the years I would check Pip out at regular intervals and one day noticed that she had some little black spots in and around her ears. These spots had not been there the last time I had checked her over and therefore I decided to take her to the vets. I felt confident that everything would be fine but just wanted to make sure.

The vet examined Pip and looked quite worried. He told us that Pip had a form of pre-cancer and that the only way that she would survive, in his opinion, would be to have her ears amputated.

This was not something we were best pleased with but at the end of the day we realised that we had no choice. This all happened four years ago and Pip is still going strong today, unaware of how close she was to losing her life. The vet has stated that if I had not checked her out and brought her in to be examined that the cancer would have spread and that Pip would have only lived for around three to six months.
