The vet doesn't think the forehead lump is from fluids. She thinks might be infection of the tissue and prescribed some oral anitibiotics and painkillers. Both are stinky and makes kitty lose her appetite.
The lump grew pretty large by the end of yesterday and shrank a bit overnight, so she's kind of back the same lump size as yesterday, the first morning.
Current medications: .5ml Clavamox drops (Amoxicillin Trihydrate/Clavulanate Potassium) twice per day for the next 10 days. .25ml Oral Buprenorphine once per day, then dropping down to once every 2-3 days for a total of 8 syringefuls.
Weight: 5.8 lbs

Bump on the Head
Cutie cat woke up this morning with a big soft bump on her forehead and a little bit of blood at her left nostril, which is the same side as her tumor. The bump is soft and squishy so we suspect it's sinus fluids which can't drain out because of the growing tumor. I placed a call to the vet and am waiting to hear back on what to do. Bump aside, she's still purring, social, and eating well.

Eating like a little piggy
Last night I gave the last of the antibiotics to cutie cat by oral syringe and I'm sure she's happy not to have to go through that 3x a day anymore. She's been pretty much back to her old self prior to being sick. Her appetite picked up again and she's eating like a little piggy, snorting away and finishing whatever portions of milk with catfood I give her. I'm hoping at this rate, she'll be able to pack on some weight before any more complications from her tumor.Current weight: 6.0 lbs
Medications: none
Currently eating: TJ's Turkey and Giblets watered down with lactose-free 2% milk
