Hi

I understand I could be making a mistake but it is a risk assessment situation that is inherently imperfect.

as they always are! In your assessment though, I think it's fair and balanced.

Man, this cat has been through a lot though.

?- with any residual "fallout"/issues?
BTW - you can't just use "cat" on this forum.......we need names!
I'll drop a tidbit for you - something to keep in your backpocket/purse for future reference (if you don't already have it). When many Vets see inflammation or pain in cats, they tend to prescribe the latest and greatest remedy, which turns out to be a Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory preparation (NSAID). Trouble is, cats have evolved without the biochemistry to process NSAIDS (as most other animals can do), and, as it turns out, the most popular of these prescribed drugs (Metacam) destroys kidney cells at any dosage. (try Googling this: cats,metacam,kidneys). The only safe anti-inflammatory med for cats is a steroidal med - often prednisolone - and, on a short-tem basis. Anyways, just a heads-up.
Keep us posted! (that's after you post her name!)
