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

Infection and Antibiotics
We believe kitty's got an infection. She refused to eat, hid under the covers all day, and wasn't purring even when hugged. I managed to sneak a peek inside her mouth while she was grooming herself and saw that the entire left part of her mouth was red from where her teeth used to be, and swollen (not sure how much from the tumor and how much from an infection). She's definitely been having trouble eating and makes little snorty noises when trying to swallow her food. I got some liquid antibiotics yesterday from the vet which seems to be making her feel better.
