Melbcat has been checked out, given a vitamin b shot and blood test, and her blood pressure med is going up to a whole tablet.

The little black spot on her nose will be monitored as it could be precancerous, and if it gets large again there’s a cream that can resolve it.

Edit: Dammit. Just answered a spam ‘solar’ call thinking for some reason the vet was calling back. Letting whoever it was know it’s a live number. I reported to Scamwatch and blocked their number but they’re probably spoofed anyway.

so , Melbcat is being looked after well and everything is under control 😊

I’m still worried as the black spot may be precancerous and could turn into squamous cell carcinoma. What’s currently happening is very slow growing and might not turn bad but it’s not a nice thought
