Amber looks lovely. Well done for rehoming her. It sounds as if she and Toby will get on well  :thumbsup:

Just flippin knew the happy ending was too good to be true.  Toby and Amber either adore each other or are not that fussed about each other which is good as it means they both get their own space when they need to and we have had no fallings out whatsoever.  Now for the frustrating bit - was sat on the floor on Saturday night cuddling Toby when he yawned right in my face and I noticed a 5p sized red area in the centre of his tongue.  Didn't seem to be bothering him but I made an appointment for a trip to the vet for today.  Vet thinks it is likely to be squamous cell carcinoma but can't confirm unless biopsied and no point doing that as it can't be excised if it is carcinoma due to the position on his tongue.  We just have to monitor and keep our fingers crossed.  Now to Amber - settled beautifully and enjoying her walks in the countryside with Toby, or at least she was until last night.  On returning home she let out a big yelp and couldn't weightbear on one of her front paws.  Blood all over the floor.  She has fractured one of her claw plates and has to go in on Thursday to have the claw removed under GA.  Absolutely no idea how she did it, one minute bounding along and next yelping and limping.  Poor little girl - not a very good welcome to her new home.  :(

Oh, luckylady, you are having a time of it aren't you?   :hug: :hug:

Here's hoping Amber sails through her op and recovers quickly, and that Toby's tongue doesn't turn into something horrid.  At least they have each other, and you too.   :-*

Oh gosh, what a hard time you are having. Lets hope that things start to go more smoothly once Amber has had her op.

Well Amber has settled extremely well and Toby is a happy boy despite his sore tongue (check-up on Tues). Amber's claw sorted (as the photo shows) and they only had to sedate her in the end as she was such a good girl for them.

Woo hoo!  The lesion on Toby's tongue has shrunk to a degree where the vet thinks it 'probably' isn't squamous cell carcinoma  :relief: .  Just have to monitor whatever it is.  A good day today.  :excited:
And here is a photo of Toby showing us all his tongue.  ;)
