Rupert.
Rue has been acting funny lately. Irritable. He had an abcess two weeks ago, which I had taken care of, and then he got in a scuffle with one of the boys over something silly and got himself all scratched up again, so I was worried he would get another abcess. I was keeping an eye on him, and occasionally washing his scraps with this first aid liquid.
Yesterday, I found another lump. At his left elbow. The size of the top knuckle of my pinkie finger.
It hadn't been there the day before, and I showed it to Larissa and she said it was probably a bruise. She felt it and said it didn't feel like cancer, and I was worried, so, since she was going into the vets about her new little ratface, Pluto, I had her take Rue-Rue as well.
The vet says it's a subcutaneous tumor, that's growing in his fat layer. Larissa says he said it was benign.
Yes, Rupert has cancer.
I'm sort of shocked right now about it. The vet said it would probably cost $200+ to have the tumor removed.
I don't really understand it. He was fine, and then we moved, and he had an abcess, and now a tumor. How is this fair? Is this house not good for him?
I'm worried about him. I need to get this taken care of as soon as possible.
Please don't let him die before I can find $200. I love my Rupert-head. Even if he does bite my face.
